Uninspiring, total fairytale about a young Sheffield lad who never has the courage to pursue his dream of playing for local division one side United. That is until he meets a girl who really believes in him, and then everything changes.
"When Saturday Comes" is really a family drama about self-belief and self-destructive behaviour. It is not, however, a very good one. Too many clichés and a pointed script can't manage to involve the audience. None of the cast, including Sean Bean, Emily Lloyd and Pete Postlethwaite, are able to make you care. The final game is well staged and appears authentic.
