Great story about the life of gangs of hooligans.

Gwendrella Geever

Great movie, about how some football fans support their clubs with more than their hearts...forever blowing bubbles!!

Who knew a movie about football hooligans could be so entertaining. Elijah Wood establishes himself as an adult actor outside of LOTR.

So bad-ass! Elijah Wood played fish-out-of-water perfectly as he quickly assimilated to the all-encompassing lifestyle of hardcore fandom.

Often overlooked, great cast and an under explored subject, well worth a watch

A football Classic, great soundtrack and casting. I’m still blowing bubbles

It isn’t a movie you would watch when you are bored it has some heavy stuff in it you should prepare for

The friendship in this movie is really strong. I watched it with my best friends and this movie means a lot for us.

One of my all time favorite cult classics. Visceral and heartfelt

I just think the plots good. And the characters are likeable. Not critically amazing.
