8/10
A hidden comedy gem
29 December 2023
Just saw this and didn't know anything about the true story it was based on and enjoyed it immensely as there are plenty of gags even the visual ones that you may not notice, you know what i mean if you spot the falling coconuts joke. Based on true events that most of us may have even forgotten about or not even remember we have the story of a small island nation of American Samoa who have a population of under 60000 who were drubbed 31 - 0 in the world cup qualifiers of 2001. This result was the biggest ever defeat in the history of the international game and the national federation set about to try and rectify this by hiring an international coach. A wholesome movie with a feel good effect as you will truly be rooting for them. Wait till the end of the credits for an extra joke which in itself was very funny.
