Goal! (12A) 118 mins"Every Dream has a Beginning"
Like millions of kids around the world, Santiago (Kuno Becker) dreams of being a professional footballer. However, as a Mexican immigrant living in the Barrios section of Los Angeles, even he can see that his chances are slim. Certainly his father thinks so, and pressurises him to knuckle down to the family business. Then one day he is spotted by a former Newcastle player on holiday, and the next thing he knows he is being tried out for Newcastle United. His football skills are not in question, but of course he still has a number of obstacles to overcome. Will his father come round? Will he make it to the top without getting distracted along the way, notably by love interest Anna Friel? No great surprises in the plot, but great fun all the same.
