Best movie of this year hands down!

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Oronzo Canà is a former football player a.k.a. "The Hyaena of Tavoliere" that became a good 2nd and 3rd level trainer.Borlotti,chairman of Longobarda,new promoted in Series A (our Premiership) hires him with the secret task of relegate the team back in Series B (2nd Level) due to management problems.With the "help" of Bergonzoni and Giginho (Roncato and Sammarchi), Canà finds a Brazilian player, Aristoteles (Urs Althaus from Warbus and Warrior of the Lost World!) that after a difficult beginning (defeats with Roma,Verona,Cremonese and after 7 matches 3 points) elevates the team far from relegation with his goals (Sampdoria,Torino,Avellino,Como defeated,8 points in 6 matches).A "comrade" ,that already loves chairman's wife (maybe a chairman's plan to slow him?), injures Aristoteles during the match with Milan that wins 7-1.Hopefully Canà, after a disqualification as he argued with the referee of Juventus-Longobarda,a tried explosive voodoo on Zico that then scores 4 goals in Udinese-Longobarda, a failed combine with former player and at that time football manager Picchio De Sisti before Fiorentina-Longobarda (4-0) that De Sisti intended as a charity match -at last Canà menaces "Io Picchio De Sisti (I beat De Sisti)..."-,losses with Napoli and Inter and repeated altercations with supporters (led by two fat twins),recovers the Brazilian in time to win the last matches with Lazio and Atalanta and save his team from relegation, despite Borlotti's opposition.Great movie,many chicks also Brazilian,a lot of real players (Chierico,Graziani,Pruzzo,Spinosi,De Sisti,Damiani,Maffei,Martellini r.i.p.),many double senses,great OST,a must-see for the Italian comedy!

I guess this movie can be fully understood only if one's Italian so if you're not I guess you shouldn't even bother.The movie is extremely funny, no need to look for a deep meaning, if you wanna watch it, just turn your brain off for a couple of hours and enjoyDon't even bother to understand why some of the actors in the movie could get the part, some minor characters in the movie really look like they couldn't even act in a high school play butI guess back in those days the industry was working in a different way. But anyway that's not the point, I told you, just turn your brain off, this is one of those movies you can watch 20 times and still laugh for the non-sense of some lines and also for the awesome performance of Lino Banfi who's definitely at his best in this movie.

A masterpiece about football movie... Banfi is superlative to perform Mr Canà.. Martini painted a perfect portrait of 80's italian world football. Plot is foreseen, screenplay is trite, Aristoteles is a bad bad bad player but these are the reason 'cause it's a masterpiece..tactic explain scene is one of the best italian comic quality scene. Memorable the unforgettable performances of Pruzzo, Ancellotti,Zico, Graziani and...fake Platini..Can't miss it
