Movie Review: Goal

Santiago’s dad, smuggled his broke Mexican family over the US border to seek a better future in L.A. Oldest son Santiago dreams of more, then joining his dad’s gardening business. His change arrives when an old British ex-pro spots him as an awesome soccer natural and promises he can arrange a real British talent scout to check him out. Although that falls trough and dad doesn’t want  it, Santiago accepts grandma’s savings to try out with English premier league team called, Newcastle. Even though he has asthma, he gets in and makes friends with the star player, party person Gavin Harris, who becomes his roommate, they get in a lot of trouble together and coach is wondering if they should even play. 

Over all this is was great movie that had lots of ups, yet a few downs.  On the up side it was a great plot that was carried out pretty well.  There was lots of twists and turns.  One of the downsides of this movie that some of the main characters were bad actors. I would recommend this movie for a great family watch.
