    This is a really lovely film. It's really good fun and has an honest an open heart at its centre. It is less about football and much more focus is on the sibling rivalry, the story is mostly predictable but it makes the tale all the more fun and interesting. The performances from all involved are really brilliant and it's a really good and very watchable movie. Add to that the fact that 4 of the most gorgeous mexican men were in Edinburgh to introduce and then do a brilliant Q&A. Watch-out though there is one song repeated throughout the movie that you will find yourself humming on your way home.
