love this movie...one of the best of the year
Fun movie about a great time in the history of the English game at the top level. Definitely worth seeing for any sports fan, especially soccer fans.

There's barely any on-field footage in The Damned United. What we get instead is fine acting and directing, splendid dialogue and a story too outrageous to be made up. Full Review
