With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- A natural pick for sports fans (and people who swear they aren't) and anyone who likes comedy with a point. You don't need to know the game to feel the big moments. The jokes have targets, and it hits most of them.
- The mood
- Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
- The pace
- Light on its feet, at 1 hr 19 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1974: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
France and Germany are at war. Adolf Hitler challenges the Allies to seal the fate of the war by playing a football match.
