Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
Yash Wade
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Leoni Haney
Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

as a Liverpool fan I still struggle to re-live that FA cup defeat, back in '99. But this is an amazing story of sport. Very well told, filmed and directed. 6 kids with whom 'you cannot win anything' ended up winning, yes, everything. Funny, moving, entertaining. You get to know a lot about the character of the players portrayed (especially the ones who kept a lower profile than others. And a very good insight on Fergie's United. You may love or hate him, but when it came to managing a football club you'll struggle to find many more on the same level as the Scot. One point deducted, so 9 instead of 10 for the bits with Tony Blair. But that's me, not being able to listen to the sound of his voice. Perfect otherwise

This is a remarkable film. It is a revealing insight into a time which is embedded into the cultural psyche of any football fan or indeed, any sports fan. Of course, if one is a Man Utd fan (like myself) it is an absolute treat!I defy any Utd fan not to get a lump in their throat as they relive Beckham's wonder goal from the halfway line against Wimbledon, or Giggs' gravity-defying dribble and match-winner against Arsenal in the the semi-final replay of '99, or Ole Gunnar Solskjær's toe-poked winner against Bayern Munich in the epic Champions League final of '99. It's not just a catalogue of footballing highlights however. It gives a real insight into the mindset and environment these working-class, soon-to-be superstars were nurtured in. I know all film-making is manipulation, clever editing and good story-telling, but it is difficult to believe that the relaxed, raw and even hilarious anecdotal banter between the now legendary players, is anything other than genuine, transparent, respect and admiration for each other. The blend of talent, ability, dedication, character, camaraderie and ultimate history-making achievement between these young footballers is like a far-fetched story from a kids' football magazine. Yet it is all true.I firmly believe that the current infrastructure of football doesn't permit this kind of situation from ever occurring again. We live in a different world now. As a side-note, the current under-performing Man Utd team (and manager) should watch this together to remember the amazing legacy they are trying to preserve.

Review: I really enjoyed this documentary about the golden years of Man United when they won the treble.its a in depth look about who the 6 players who grew up together, became football heroes. It's good to see that they stayed closes friends, no matter how famous they got. I can clearly remember when they won the treble so it was good to see what happened behind the scenes. All of them brought something different to the table, which made the team at that time, so versatile and great to watch. If your a football fan, then you would enjoy this documentary and the interviews between all of the footballers were great to watch. Enjoyable!Round-Up: It was good to see Cantona talking about his old days at Man U, but I would have liked to see some of the other players like Cole and Hughes. David Beckham is obviously the biggest star out of the lot of them, but when you see him in this documentary, he actually seemed on the same level as the rest of the team. Alex Ferguson makes an appearance, but he doesn't really go into depth about his time with the club. You don't get any deep secrets about that period, which would have made this a must watch, but you do get a little insight about how it is to play in one of the biggest teams of its time. Shame that there doing so bad now that Ferguson has left.Budget: $1.25million Worldwide Gross: N/AI recommend this movie to people who are into there football documentaries about Man U when they were at there peak. 5/10

I rarely write reviews for movies or TV shows that I've watched however I felt completely and utterly compelled to share what I thought about this documentary. Being in my late 20's I grew up supporting UTD so watching all my memories of my beloved football team being brought to a motion picture was just something I couldn't miss. This docu' is not just about the players themselves but also an insight into the life of Mancunians in the 90's era. My favorite all time band is the Stone Roses and their music is very prominent throughout making the viewing extra enjoyable. After about 10 minutes into the film I knew how it was going to culminate and of course it was any Manchester United favorite sporting memory- the famous treble. The screenplay leading up to finale of this movie gave me goosebumps as I can easily relive that momentus occasion in mind seeing the players and manager celebrate. As a massive supporter of this club this is a must see. I cannot fault it in any manner whatsoever so it gets a solid 10/10 for me.
