Well the animation of this movie gets all 10/10 from me. It was absolutely beautiful. Great details, colors and so on. The picture we saw was what made this movie worth watching.The story on the other hand was kind of boring. I will not judge the movie too much for this since it is a movie for little kids. So they are more likely to enjoy the stories which for us seem to be overdone and boring. But I kept on wondering if it is a good idea to have kids cheer for a pathetic loser who plays with toys as adult and made nothing out of his life while the successful one is as always the bad guy. But I guess one can make into the whole "keep chasing your dreams, it is never too late message".But there is no need to dwell on it. The movie is sure worth watching. As I said before because of outstanding animation. But I also loved how Jake was selecting people from the town for his game. This was a truly funny scene. And when the little foosball guys kept on helping them during the game it was also very entertaining.

This movie, to put it bluntly, is bad. I am not biased towards the people of Latin America, they have produced many cinematic masterpieces. This is just not one of them. The quality of this movie has nothing to do with my opinion of Latin America. I find it tasteless, dull, lacking humor or heart. The characters are badly designed, the living dolls are horrifying, the plot seems impossible. They might like soccer in Latin America, and that's great, but there are better ways to profess your love for something than to make a creepy cartoon like this. This cartoon is truly horrifying and I am glad that few people saw it. Two points, not one, because I think the story might be endearing with some improvements.

Fantastic movie for kids and adults, and you don't have to love or know much about soccer to enjoy it. The characters are interesting and the writing is really clever. Plus there's a great moral to the story (several, in fact). The movie covers father-son relationships, bullying, teamwork, doing your best, facing fear, cheating, vanity, rivalry, and a host of other important topics, all in a fun, fast- paced, and witty hour and 45 minutes. Plus, it has foosball! What more could one want?Really, this far exceeded my expectations and there is nothing inappropriate about it - - no bad words, sex, drugs, overly scary scenes, or slow, awkward content. It was a surprisingly enjoyable movie to watch with my 12 year old daughter (who hates sports!). We give it two enthusiastic thumbs up.

(No spoilers ahead)Kids who watch violent movies will enjoy this. It has a few original ideas that can be entertaining for adults as well. However, the interactions between characters are very much put-down based and some other interactions are borderline for what I'd like my kids to see. A pretty disturbing scene is how the bad guy treats the female interest or another scene where rats are introduced as a menacing creature. There were some lovely efforts to create a structured flowing story with some points of emphasis about friendship and sportsman-like behavior. In short, production value is wonderful and if your kids watch ninja turtle style stuff, I'm sure they'd love this one. 8/10 for those kids. 6/10 for everyone else.
