Give this the swerve, American dross at its finest. Shot in a fictitious Scottish town in California. The special effects, story and cinematography are appalling. The actors are plastic and the only good thing about this film is that it does end. This sort of production takes me back to when VHS videos first came out and companies sneaked titles passed the unsuspecting viewer by dollying up the jacket details. I never normally get a film unless I've seen a few reviews or had a recommendation but with the kids tugging at my shirt and a cursory glance at "Scottish" and "Soccer" I was duped.
Seriously folks this has to go in the worst 100 bin just next to Wimbledon :O)

i watched this movie a few hours ago and i thought it was awful. whats up with the stupid cgi soccer ball, the plot was stupid and it was so predictable so if your planing on seeing this movie Don't! IT WAS BAD i feel bad for the actors because involved because they din't do anything wrong to deserve this.id rather kiss a toilet seat then watch this peace of crap what the heck were they thinking my god just to let you know i dint see this whole movie i watch 30 minutes and i din't see the ending but predicted that it would end like all the other cheasy sports movies end the worst team plays the best team and the bad teams wins but in this movie it happens to be because the dog is a super hero! the end
All involved should be ashamed. This film is poorly made, badly executed and can only perpetuate the belief that Americans are ignorant of anywhere outside the US.
Tip to Hollywood: when basing a film outside the US, use local actors and try and actually visit and film in the place; that way there is a possibility that you will never recreate a film as poor and woefully inaccurate as this.
A dreadful experience.
Oh dear.
Terrible.

This is a masterpiece of creativity.
They have managed to conjure up a whole movie about a Scottish football team and their talented, genetically modified, canine number 10, without even a rudimentary knowledge of any of those things.
So charming is the film that I'm sure that even the most hard-hearted Scotch people would forgive the odd inaccuracy in the portrayal of Scotch dialect, accent, climate, cuisine, history. Let's be honest, can anyone really differentiate between the Australian, Irish, Bristolian and Scotch accents?
And I'm sure many a tourist must have mistaken the highlands for parts of California, with it's baking sunshine and slim, tanned residents.
I've heard some people question the plausibility of how one charity, grudge map can result in the European cup going to a small village football team. But people forget that this has already happened when the great AC Milan team of 93/94 was forced to give the champion's league trophy to Paul Gasgcoine's uncle, when he beat half the team at arm wrestling in a Yugoslavian dive bar.
Any questions about Nick Moran's acting should be directed to Guy Ritchie, who's strict Shakespearian training will leave a mark on actors long after they have finished working with him. The 6 years between Lock Stock and Soccer Dog, were merely the blink of an eye.
It's a truly wonderful piece of cinema. And the dog is hot

This movie is a total disgrace the research must have been zero as it is full of terrible mistakes and is clearly filmed in the USA by someone who does not even know what Scotland looks like
As a scot it made me extremely angry as to how we were portrayed in this bargain bin rubbish
The accents are terrible, They didn't even bother to put UK number plates on the cars in the film whilst I accept the film is a light hearted kids movie, they should realise we are not all kilt wearing long haired Mel Gibson look a likes Time for the director and producers of this junk to spend a little time on research
