Will

An excellent movie. A truly inspirational movie. The name 'Will' epitomes the movie perfectly. If you have WILL, you can do anything. For a boy whose everything is lost, he still has everything he needs, his passion for football. The movie also brings the good side of football supporters to the fore. In today's world where everyone is divided either by race or religion or ethnicity or political point of view, this movie shows that all these things can be forgotten when there is a football match on. Football has this amazing power of bringing people together and this is shown brilliantly in the film. The initial scenes in which Will runs away from his school and the help of his mates they hilarious and brings the lighter side in an extremely emotional movie. You will cry, laugh, get excited, and get goose bumps while watching the movie. Although this is a football related movie, but it also teaches us a lesson in every walk of life "Never get fever in the way of your dreams".

Will is an odd film of a 11 year old boy called Will (Perry Eggleton), whose father has died and he attempts to make his way to Istanbul to watch Liverpool play AC Milan in the 2005 Champions League final.

Damien Lewis and Bob Hoskins make cameo appearances. I did think that a 11 year old boy setting out for a journey across Europe alone rather filled me with horror.

Of course before long Will loses his tickets to crooks in Paris but meets an ex Yugoslav footballer and together they set out to Istanbul.

Liverpool legends Kenny Dalglish, Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher also make cameo appearances.

Now the 2005 Champions League final will go down in history as one of the all time great finals. Yet the film finishes before the match starts so we are deprived of the footage of Liverpool's comeback as they secured their fifth European Cup and getting to keep the actual trophy with their victory in penalties.

It is essentially a road movie, slightly sentimental, even a bit surreal. It leads to a feel good climax unless you are an AC Milan fan but it is still a slight film.

Nothing can stand in the way of a will power. Before watching, i had some prejudice about this movie. First,I thought that it would be one of those one-sided movies but I was wrong.One may think that it is all about football or Liverpool. But it isn't. It is all about holding on to life.We all need something to hold on to.In this movie that something is football for an eleven year old kid who has almost lost all his hopes in everything.Each one of us find relief in different things, some go fishing , some do gardening, some lay on their backs all day dreaming ,but we all do something to relax. In this movie, you will find yourself.

This is the most inspirational film I've seen in a long time. Ignore the critics—many who have criticized the emotional intensity of this film. Perhaps they are uncomfortable with their own emotions. If you have an open heart you will LOVE this movie. This is a film about overcoming life's obstacles by staying true to your heart. You will laugh, cry, feel excited, disappointed, sad, and exhilarated. This film has beautiful cinematography (see it on a big screen!) and music depicting a moving story of passion (Will's passion for football). If you're not already a Liverpool fan, seeing this movie will make you one!

they don't make many movies with a soccer story line to them.

i just finished watching will. runs a very close 2nd to the cup for favorite soccer movies.

i saw it as a soccer theme movie but with a Charlie and the chocolate factory flavor. a very delightful. heart warming movie that also includes pain and sorrow. its rated pg and a great family movie. well worth the watch great timing also with the world cup less than 2 weeks away.

the kids are sure to enjoy this film along with the cup and bend it like Beckham
