DVD Reviews of Goal 2: Living the Dream
DVD Review: Straight to DVD and Unrated?
Summary: 3 Stars
My 11 year old son and I enjoyed the first movie -- Goal. So, I was surprised to see this for sale and had two immediate questions. Did straight to DVD mean that this was a poor imitation of the first film? And, what the hell does Unrated really mean?
Good news. The film is of the same cinematic quality as the first. Lots of gorgeous, slow-mo soccer with some of the biggest stars in the game. Everything is well filmed with high production quality. That said, the story is your fairly generic sports film formula. The kid from L.A., riding high on his success with the United, signs with the Real Madrid club, is engaged to be married and has moved into a Mediterranean mansion complete with Ferrari. What could go wrong? Well, it goes without saying that everything begins to fall apart for him. In addition, there is a subplot involving his long lost mom (who abandoned him as a child which we learned in the first film). Unfortunately, the film only resolves some of the adversity faced by the main character and ends with the dreaded "To be Continued." For some, this will be disappointing. For me, I still found the film satisfying enough for three stars.
As to Unrated, I really wanted to know if I could let my 11 year old watch it. First, in looking at the trailer on the disk, the film was at one point advertised as a PG-13. I think that the finished product is in line with that rating if that helps you make this determination. There are several scenes involving sensuality, particularly after love-making by Munoz and his bride to be. At one point, she appears nude in the shadows of the bedroom. In addition, there is a great deal of drinking in the film, and a long party scene with scantily clad women, etc. I ultimately decided to hold off on letting my son see it. There was one scene where the characters drink a great deal and then all depart in their cars, seemingly unaffected by the alcohol. I decided that the presentation of "success" in the film, and the casual irresponsibility at times, was not fit or appropriate for my son.
In a couple of years, I think he may be mature enough to put all of that adult behavior into proper context. The film does have some great messaging about working one's way through extreme adversity, and I think that would be valuable for young teens to see and consider.
