Goal! The Dream Begins

I can say that I don't really watch soccer, nor am I a soccer enthusiast, but I do like to watch sports movies every once in a while. I had originally decided to watch this movie because I saw the previews in theatres and was like,'hmm this seems like an OK movie, I'll wait until it comes out to DVD.'
I preceded to forget about the movie until my sister, who plays soccer, reminded me and told me to put it on Netflix to get it sent to our house.

I wasn't for sure once we started watching the movie if it was going to be good because it was a little slow starting off. And as all movies go, there is always expectations and we knew what was going to happen at the end, it was just how they were going to get there. We knew he would end up succeeding and becoming a great soccer player.

The conflicts in the story I could point out a mile away but they still served the purpose. There were several very good soccer scenes, where they were doing some cool moves. The acting was really good. There wasn't any big names in the movie. I did recognize one person as the actor who plays the dad on Ugly Betty but big actors and actress' isn't always the guaranteed success in a movie and with this one, these actors and actress' did a really good job. And overall it was a decent movie. I wouldn't have seen this is theatres now that I've seen it. But it's a good family movie and it was interesting to watch.
