Title: A victim of its own success
Review: Yes, there are parallels with 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding,' but for me, the most pertinent is the hype. This is a good film (in fact, I think it is better than MBFGW), but by the time I had seen it (on video) I had heard so much hype that I thought it would be phenominal. So if you haven't seen it, know that this is a fun and enjoyable movie, but not a truly great film as many would have you believe.Two minor criticisms: First, there were a couple of scenes where my American ears had a hard time understanding The Queen's Englsh being spoken so rapidly (even after rewinding and cranking the volume). Second, while the training/park playing sequences were exhilirating, the actual game sequences were a bit choppy and hard to follow--a bit anticlimactic after all the buildup.
Is the review positive or negative?
