The Soccer Football Movie

Boring, unfunny and pointless. If you want a fun football-based cartoon then go dig out Early Man as at least that's an enjoyable watch, but I have no idea what they are trying to achieve here or who the target audience is.

Why would you cast Weird Al Yankovic in one of the main roles in a kids movie, no child on this Earth has heard of him!

As for the film itself, it's a random mishmash of strange scenes that don't knit together, and is somehow worse than the sum of its parts. Clearly released now to cash in on "World Cup Fever" and yet still they've managed to make something that's more uncomfortable than Qatar human rights abuses.

It feels like it goes in forever, yet is only around the 80 minute mark. Woefully bad.

Like, ok, I'll give the movie some credit because the first half it was so incredibly bad it was actually funny to watch. I had fun pointing at the little details like how they used the same 3 background characters 20 times each.

But then it became a chore. After the first half they just add dialogue when it isn't required, making a scene that should last 1 minute, 15. It was painful, I probably aged 15 years when watching the insufferably long ending, where they pretend it's over at least three times, just to add another wacky surprise to the plot. Which is a stupid decision, since this movie is so all over the place it stops surprising you very early.

At the end of the day, I had a "meh" time watching it. The movie is still absolutely horrendous though.

The Movie The Soccer Football Movie is the worst Movie ever. It was so INAPPROPRIATE, cruel, and scary, what's I saw in the movie was mutant slugs that control people, becoming monsters and steal their talents, making Weird Al the bad guy, and a pony tail hair came to life, absorb all slugs, and turn into an giant ugly monster, with it's eye and tentacles in it's big mouth. There's also four young kids that fight monsters, living in a broken down van (almost like they're homeless and orphans with no families), Please do not watch that movie, I'm warning anyone, everyone, anything and everything.

Where do I start?! Truly awful. I'm not sure what age rating this is, but I don't think it's suitable for a six year old. He didn't seem too bothered, but there are some bits that could be considered a bit too scary for younger audiences. There is definitely some references to Aliens and Prometheus in this movie, not that the younger folk would get it, thankfully! I'm not really quite sure what Netflix were thinking when they made this. It's not exactly for soccer fans, or even people who aren't soccer fans. Maybe it was a vanity project for someone? My advice would be to avoid as best you can. I certainly don't think it's one that will be watched again in this house!!

Animation is nice, and the general plot, despite not innovative, is not bad. Additionally, I did like the green monsters, the mad scientist, and the way both football players have been cartoonized. However, dalogues are the worst and stupidest possible, teenage four characters are boring, tepid and undevelopped, and the inclusion of whoopie cushion is a ridiculous element. To summarize, outcome is just too silly, and being a kids movie is no excuse for that, Netflix. Curiously, just to resume: the 7-1 score (the unforgettable one in 2014 World Cup semifinal) is reversable according to the film.
