Featured review
Uplifting funny movie based on a true story
This movie shows how pacific culture is both humorous and heartwarming.
A Dutch football coach who is living in the USA is given an offer he couldn't refuse to go and coach American Samoa national football (soccer) squad.
The coach's Dutch European direct style clashes with the Pacific Islanders culture and it takes time for both to understand each other.
American Samoa lies at the bottom of the FIFA world rankings after losing 31-0 to Australia. Now they have a chance to renew themselves with a new coach.
This movie is full of laughs , the comedy writing is very good. The American Samoan way is so endearing and warm it is a real feel good movie.
The.movie steers close to the truth and is a movie based on the documentary of the same name.
If you need cheering up, or need to recharge your faith in the human spirit watch this movie.
