It was a fun movie to watch.

I watched it with my 10 yr old....but it really had some things that make me feel it was for 13+ (I wouldn't have been as appalled by my 13 yr old seeing some of the story line)

Good movie. Good music. Fun. For 13 + (some sexual references)

We bought this one. Enjoyed it very much.

The extra features are great. The aloo gobi one in particular is hysterical. Jon and I have watched that bit a lot.

The kids haven't watched the film (they are too young) but they have caught the credits a number of times and we all now sing Ole ole ole, feeling hot hot hot!

Part of the reason I liked it though was because it was English. For instance, the soccer reporters are real genuine ones and I remember them being on TV on saturday afternoons. Also the scene with the condiments and the off side rule is classic. Most English women with football crazy hubbies try at some point to grasp the offside rule. Just as you think you've got it some bloke tells you you are wrong. I can't tell you how many conversations I've heard in pubs about the offside rule...its a national pastime!

Ok, I hate to be the odd one out, but I truley disliked this movie. It was a glorification of selfishness. Every character cared totally for themselves, sacrifice for others was mocked. In the end truth was justified but throughout the movie dishonesty and selfishness were the main theme.

I just watched this one last week. I thought it was a fun movie and really enjoyed it. But with the editing, it almost seemed like some of the scenes were cut short. For example, a couple times, they started playing music and showed the girls playing soccer or something and I was all prepared for this long montague w/ music sequence and 10 seconds later it was done. It's not a big deal or anything - it just seemed a little odd.
