Goal! hits the back of the net and is an early candidate for the funnest movie of the summer.Full Review

G. Allen Johnson
San Francisco Chronicle

The movie works because it is, above all, sincere. It's not sports by the numbers. The starring performance by Kuno Becker is convincing and dimensional and we begin to care for him.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

How much viewers care about what happens in Goal! is directly proportionate to how much they care about soccer, because decent execution aside, there's an underdog fantasy movie just like this one for every sport.Full Review
