Reviews
Little Giants is one of my favorite movies, so I can get behind an underdog sports story. Not this one though.
The actual story is pretty interesting, but Next Goal Wins does whatever the soccer version is of "drops the ball", and I didn't really care if they won other than I hoped the actual team won in real life. Not enough character development. Not enough of anything really.
