good cast,good film
By a customer from Maybole Ayrshire , 15 Mar 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
i have seen this film several times and still think that it's as good as seeing it for the first time,maybe i'm biast as it was filmed 6 miles from where i live.It's good to see a good cast starring in a 'small' movie.There's a feud between the 2 pubs,they then have a football match to see who's the better pub/team- Was this review helpful to you?

(7)The Match
By snowgirl (4 reviews) from London , 03 Jan 2010We really enjoyed this, it is a laid back funny film, great for a Saturday night in with friends. I loved the simplicity of the film and felt it really gave you a feel for the sense of community you gt from village life, without taking itself too seriously.
A british film at its best.- Was this review helpful to you?

Gentle
By Slurs from Scotland , 07 Jul 2009An easily likeable British film. There were no surprises, and one or two shaky moments in the plot, but that doesn't detract from the fun of seeing the inevitable play itself out. I'm not entirely sure where ReG got his accent from, but that too is not important. And Sam Fox as an almost mute bar maid - that was a surprise, and somehow in keeping with the whole enterprise.- Was this review helpful to you?

Mildly amusing film but pretty poor acting
By TristanWhite (307 reviews) from London, UK , 10 Nov 2005Apart from David Hayman, who plays Scrapper and is quality throughout (you'll know him better as Chief Supt Michael Walker from the Trial and Retribution series), and the funny part of English-hating Growler played by real-life punk rocker Gary McCormack from The Exploited, this is a bit of a nothing film - surprising, considering the quality of the actors involved - Richard E. Grant is unbelievably hammy, Tom Sizemore is very poor as well, and as for the lead (Max Beesley) - well, he's a bit wet. The story is fine... it's silly, it's not meant to be high comedy nor pretends to be anything other than a silly film about two pubs playing a football tournament. So if you go in with low expectations, you'll get something good out of this film. But 'The Miracle of Bern' this ain't, by a long shot!- Was this review helpful to you?
