Foosballers

This movie blew my mind. Just dropped so much knowledge on the history of foosball. Everything from the highes of the 70s to the lows of the 80s. To the rebirth thats still going on today. The film does this culture justice. Joe I gotta say playing you yesterday was awesome but the film you presented in buffalo was amazing. Thank you so much for providing us and the rest of the world with what we didnt know we needed.

I loved the film. It was a moving and hilarious tribute to the fringe. Both the sport itself and the characters that dedicate their life's passion to it. A moving and honest trip into a world I had no idea existed. A must see.

My friends and I used to play Foosball in bars regularly when we were in our 20s. In our 50s now we still get together a handful of times each year to see if we still have skills.

Considering the waning popularity of foosball in our country, I was surprised how professional this documentary was. The quality of the video shots was great.

We loved getting the background of the sport and hearing about its heyday, as well as the likely causes for its loss in popularity.

Loved seeing the skills and dedication that the featured players each had for the sport.

My big complaint was that I thought some of the movie got a little repetitive in places, and thought that maybe they could have shaved off 15-20 more minutes in the editing process to make it a tighter film.

Nonetheless, for anyone who likes to shoot foosball, it is definitely worth a watch.

It's important to know that I grew up playing a little bit of foosball. Not a ton, and not against any type of talent, but enough where I was able to pass it back and forth to myself and blast home some super rad shots. I'm also "seasoned" enough to know that spinning in Foosball is the biggest noob move going. If you're a cute girl who's doing it to laugh it up, that's fine. But that's it. Not even you cute guys can spin and it's not up for debate. There is no spinning in Foosball.

With all that burped up and on the table, let us get on with the movie at hand. Foosballers is one of...not many films about the undervalued table sport. You have this gem and then you have the 1981 film Long Shot and then a mockumentary called The Fabb Four made in 2008, and lastly a short doc called Foosball: past - present - future made in 2006. That's about it. So there's some slim picking if you got a hankering for some foosball action.

Minus Longshot which is a teen comedy that's probably more about getting the girl than getting the trophy, Foosballers is the undisputed champ of Foosballery. It paints us a handsome picture of it's heyday, it's downfall, it's rules and everything in between. And of course, it talks to us about the players that got the sport rolling in the early days all the way up to the leading men and women knocking that little ball around to this day.

Foosballers is a total success of a documentary. Like any other atypical topic, from video game high scores, to the best arm-wrestler in the world, to big wave surfers, there is an underlying factor that must be expressed. And that, my quarantined friends, is passion. Which could just be a diagnosis for advanced addiction with narcissistic tendencies, but who's to say. Could just be love for the game though. Oh, I don't know. What I do know is that addiction for Foosyfoos is on display big time and it's fun to watch.

To sum this up, Foosballers brought home the bacon and fried it in the pan. It shot it's little ball right up and straight into my heart. I'm now on the hunt for a used Tornado foosblaster3000 and mark my words, you will hear of me the next time the you hear the word Foosball. I will be king. My Foosball name will forever be echoed in bathrooms of gamerooms everywhere. Everyone's going down. Tony. Todd. Cindy. You're all dust! Forever shall my name be trembled and feared. For my foosball name is...FOOZBALLGUY23!

This is a fantastic movie! Great story and an awesome peak into the world of foosball. Definitely a must see.
