Has anyone ever seen this Danish soccer related Movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0350485/) "2 ryk og 1 aflevering" (English Title: "Kick'N Rush")? It comes out on DVD on Tuesday, and my Video store clerk girlfriend brought it home for me, knowing how much I like soccer. I'll review it after I watch it in this thread, but I was wondering if anyone has seen it already? I'm not even sure how soccer related it is yet, but I'll let you know!

Well, I just saw the movie and I have to say it wasn't bad.
It's about three high school football club boys, growing up and growing apart. They are at the point in their teenage lives where getting laid is the first and last thing they think about, but despite their footwork on the field, their social footwork with the ladies leaves room for improvement.
The film was edited in video, and it shows. Very grainy and low fi, but still very watchable. The dialog wasn't too fast so subtitles were no problem, even for those who don't care for reading them. (Personally, I love anime, so subtitles are never a problem!) The plot was heartfelt and sexy without being crude, but overall I have to say there was no true shining light to point to this moving being "great" or even "better than average". I liked how the film took it's time to develop charater, and you seem to leave the movie at least a little futher along then when you first got a look this high school football club in Holland.
Overall a 6 out of 10
Soccer content: 7 out of 10 (not quite "Victory!", but soccer is a major plot element)
