Movie Reviews
A sort of road movie, pretty funny
Tonally odd but entertaining enough
Is it a comedy? A road movie? A drama? The film shifts between these (sub)genres. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it feels odd. The main reason is that the two storylines are so different. The scenes with the soccer team are pure comedy. The scenes with our protagonist are pure drama. They intertwine but it would have been stronger if both storylines were a mix of comedy and drama.
