OK... so this is not a story about winning. It is yet another story from the brilliantly comedic and subtle mind of Kiwi (New Zealander) writer and director Taika Waititi. Check out his other stuff for several good fun laughs. This time around, the worst international soccer team in history, American Samoa, bears the brunt of the comedy. For a mostly true story, it is simply magic (think Cool Runnings). It is also a movie for the whole family, having fun with religion, sexuality, and self- discovery in the process. These sorts of movies are rare, as they challenge you to enjoy life as it is, not for what you dream it may be. Good things, no matter how hard your life has been, can still happen.
