OK so if you are English and enjoy football you'll probably find this film funny and with a lot of truth to it. The problem is it's more like a 1 hour pretend documentary for TV and not a film. Three games that could have been shown like the others were shown, were just cut out. We beat Argentina, qualify for the second stage and then just fly home after telling us we beat two more teams and lost in the Semi-Final. It was almost like they all decided to go home early and just say 'this is what happens in the end'. A good job all films don't do that. What if Star Wars had been 1 hour 15 mins and just as they arrive on the Death Star we get told 'they rescue the Princess, escape and Luke blows up the Death Star'? This was a good bit of entertainment up till the quick end. Sorry to be moaning but we want a full film when we pay to see it.
