Filmed as a 'docu-soap' this raises many laughs. I must admit that I'm an avid football fan and saw the jokes relating to famous players, which might have been otherwise vague for people not so clued-up on the subject.
However, there are enough comic situations relating to anyone who is disorganised, trying organise something. Non-footy fans will get these jokes.
The manager of the England team, Mike Bassett, is thrown into a situation that he really cannot handle, and most Brits will recognise this, but the feeling is probably universal for all sports.
Quite reminiscent of 'This is Spinal Tap'.
Putting the actual football jokes aside, there's enough here for anyone to enjoy about incompetence, be it in business, or any other industry.
