IT'S A HARD LIFE FOR SOME OF US1
WHY DON'T THEY JUST GET JOBS LIKE THE REST OF US HAVE TO, INSTEAD OF BUMMING AROUND TO SEE A CHEAT,[HAND OF GOD/TAKING DIVES]& DRUG ADDICT.

Going to Argentina in a Brazil top!!2
The freestyle skills on show are amazing but not enough in my opinion, Sami on the main cover he only moaned and was a bit player. the wearing of brazil tops in this film was a puzzler as we all know our football rivalries Scotland v England,Germany v Holland,Brazil v Argentina, so why wear brazil in argentina, small point maybe but big point to others. The film was ok but expected more and didnt get it.

I got bored - Big Brother with Balls2
Having read many reviews about this film, I had expected a quality, life affirming documentary about a significant journey. It did not deliver. While the skills of the lad involved are unquestionably stunning, you can find pretty much the same displays on youtube for free.

My main problem with this film is that I did not find myself rooting for any of them to succeed. So much time is spent moaning, arguing and trying to get one-up on each other that the storyline - if that's the correct term here - becomes tedious. Perhaps it's the competative nature of all involved that defeats any sense of coherance in the group. All I know is that the final package came across as being like Big Brother with Balls.

The final factor that prevented me from enjoying this film was the reference to Maradonna as an inspirational role model. To think that this may be true to some people is worrying. Can we expect a similar film documenting a group of Argentinian youths travelling the globe to meet Gazza? I hope not. Nice skill though!
