A boy, a girl, and the worst football team in Britain. You can't choose who you're going to fall in love with.

What are critics saying?
Weirdly for a film supposedly based on actual events – adapted from Dave Roberts’s football memoir about life as a fan of beleaguered Bromley FC during the 1969-70 season – a persistent whiff of fakeness hangs over it.
Steve Kelly’s lightweight film spins allegedly true events into the stuff of pure sitcom: affable enough, but so glibly inauthentic as to make “Bend It Like Beckham” look like cinéma vérité by comparison. It’s curious how the world’s most popular sport maintains such a thin roster of truly classic movies in its honor; that is unchanged here.
Young O’Connor has a pale, clumsy walking bean-pole awkwardness about him, and uses that ungainly appearance to good effect.
