Dream

It's excalty and more than you expected.

It's sweet cheesy and heart felt film . Every character has their time to shine .

Don't look deep into the silly plot points such as having a homeless world cup for soccer exclusively to homeless people obviously.

Some might find somethings not progressive enough such as one if the members of the team in love with a woman who has a disability of speech and they say mentally ill.

The dream real for this movie and is shows how creativity is dying in the west when something so simple as this film is much more creative and what they did with a small budget .

This is an aggressively average movie. It packs in all the usual clichés - the team sucks, a few players have some talent that isn't used (yet), the coach doesn't want to be there and gives up and then returns with an inspirational speech etc. - which is fine. Clichés are clichés for a reason: they work. But you have to DO something with them. You can't just plonk them in the script and think that's it. The fact that the team sucks is supposed to be funny - it isn't. When some players finally realise their potential it's supposed to be triumphant - it isn't.

The only thing that halfway works is the story arc of the coach and that has more to do with the actor's charisma than with the writing. Park Seo-Joon gets very little to work with, but he's good. As is Lee Ji-Eun. Their rivalry provides some much needed humour. Everything else is bland, even though the characters should be compelling. They're all down on their luck and they've all been through things, but they're written in such a way that it's hard to feel anything for them all.

I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, but hardcore fans of the two leads. If you want to watch a sports movie, there are loads of other, way better ones.

... it is certainly lacking something.

Perhaps I was hoping for something along the lines of The Blind Side or Friday Night Lights. But then obviously more lighthearted, but this was nothing like that. It was like the makers were fans of such movies and sort of pulled an entirely invented story out of a hat. There were no real inspirational events or teams to follow perhaps? Nothing real they could mold into a movie about people their plights and situations and such... maybe even with some deeper message?

I learned they let homeless people play soccer for some reason, that was about it.

So yeah, its entertaining, but also an incredibly empty story sadly.

So maybe we're unfair with the low reviews, maybe we'd love it if we were 8? I had no idea what to expect but I couldn't wait to watch anything with PSJ and IU. Unfortunately I was let down but I still love these actors and I guess it's ok if they decide to do movies like that. The premise was cute and somehow interesting so no hard feelings. But yeah, watch it with your kids and write a review based on their opinion so we can have a more objective view.

If you like the actors and you're an adult, you should definitely watch Hwarang, Itaewon Class, Midnight Runners, She Was Pretty, and my all time favorite Fight For My Way with Park Seo Joon. And My Mister with IU. To see what they're normally capable of and suitable for.

Funny, light hearted, at times emotional, good movie.

Been waiting to watch this movie for a few weeks, after watching snippets and the trailer. Finally watched it on Netflix today and I loved it.

Park Seo Joon as the angry young footballer is the star of this movie. His acting as always is fantastic. His comic timing is great. He nails his coaching and emotional scenes. Loved his chemistry and scenes with IU. They make a great pair and would love to see them in a show together.

IU was the surprise element for me, as I haven't watched her before. She was really good.

Every supporting cast member was perfectly cast. They did well in their parts.

Enjoyed it. Definitely rewatching it.
