WONDERFUL, FUNNY!!
I just recently saw this movie with my father and brother, and we couldnt stop laughing! to be honest, i think this is a very good movie, asian movies are even better than many hollywood "masterpieces". This one, in special, has great FX, a good sense of humor and the actors are great. I recommend this movie if you like soccer or if you wish to spend a very good time with your friends. Congratulations to chinese movie makers for this great and amazing film!
