Pretty good little movie.
Top CriticNot as distinctive or even as humorous as its needs to be to stand out, but it has clearly been made with affection and care.
The movie exists for its soccer action and its fine acting.
Offers a guilt-free trip into feel-good territory.

In other words, it's just another sports drama/character study. Yet this one makes up for in heart what it lacks in outright newness. Plus, like I already mentioned...it's Robert Duvall! C'mon!
Duvall is strong as always.

Despite some charm and heart, this quirky soccer import is forgettable
Scotland looks wonderful, the fans are often funny fanatics, the showdown sure beats a bad day of golf.
