Mike Bassett - England Manager
By bic1 from STAFFS , 28 Oct 2003[Highly rated reviewer]
A good film -I thoroughly enjoyed it, and Ricky Tomlinson puts in a great performance.
Even if you are not a football fan you will enjoy this movie. All you women out there take note, so if your hubby rents it don't dispel it before you've seen it.- Was this review helpful to you?

(41)Still worth a watch
By 310396 (8 reviews) from Woking , 08 Feb 2013Anyone that can remember squirming their way through the Graham 'do I not like that' Taylor documentary will find comfort in this. Still a good watch for anyone with a realistic view of English football. Worth it for the press conferences alone.- Was this review helpful to you?

The alternative football manager.
By a customer , 21 Mar 2012An interesting twist and an alternative view of football management, even though I'm not a football fan, this film was certainly watchable and quite thought provoking.
Don't expect Ricky Tomlinson to be his usual 'comedian' self as this is not the itention of this film, there are some humerous moments but it's not a comedy outing.
The final scenes capture the euphoria that success can bring.- Was this review helpful to you?

Better Than Capello
By JamesD123 (4 reviews) , 10 Feb 2012This film is as trusty and reliable as the 4-4-2 formation. At a time when the current England situation is a complete shambles Mike Bassett England Manager makes an even more amusing watch. Great performances from Ricky Tomlinson and Bradley Walsh as well as some hilarious characters in the squad.- Was this review helpful to you?

Too realistic to be funny
By EphraimGadsby (19 reviews) from Bury St. Edmunds , 17 Mar 2008Maybe it's because I'm not really a football fan, but this film didn't do much for me. Yes, there were jokes in it that were funny, but overall it seemed too similar to real life to really work. Mike Bassett comes across as an amalgam of every England manager since Venables & hence seems very predictable - nothing was surprising because we've seen it all before on the news. The documentary storytelling style is good, but this film lacks the sort of comedy it really needs to be a success.- Was this review helpful to you?
