Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

jasonmunger Good family friendly movie. The plot was a little cheesy, but not too over the top. Typical predictable story line, but isn't that the case with most movies anymore? It was interesting to see the anti American sentiment portrayed in a non-American film. How accurate was that to the actual events...I don't know.Sports movies typically fall flat on their face trying to create dramatic action sequences. The casual viewer may buy it, but an actual player will say "that's so fake". This movie did a fairly good job IMO. Goof: Not a spoiler because this has nothing to do with the plot. When discussing their "favorite game" the one kid says "1980 in Lake Placid, US vs Russia for the gold medal". This wasn't the gold medal game. Kind of goof: There is a scene where the hockey coaches are taking slap shots and their shots are brutal. Either have someone stand in for that scene, or frame the scene so you don't see their shots. The camera angle was from the other end of the rink and behind them, so it would have been easy. Maybe the actors aren't hockey players? That's fine. Just modify the scene.

Mibanilla It's not how excellent the movie was, 'cause that way I think it was mediocre, but how important the message in the movie was. You can't blame all for one mans mistake. And I don't mean just George W. Bush but all the things in the world. If you get robbed by midget you can't say all the midgets are robbers. Sadly, that just seems to be the case nowadays. What was even more embarrassing were adults attacking innocence kids. Blaming them. Like they could have voted for the matter! They had absolutely nothing to do with the war. Let children be children. But I guess there will always be hot headed people just to make their point. And I think Iraq war will always be one of those issues that will press someones blood pressure up. Anyway, golden purpose and true story...isn't it always worth to watch?

ollisfamily What was done to those American Boys was wrong, my son's are Canadian-American's. They were born in Canada to a US father who we are all together as a happy family. We currently live in a Northern Ontario town who are 70% French and we didn't know this when we moved here. I have been called "American" many of times, and I'm a Canadian with no rights to the US. The way Quebec treated those American Boys and Adults is WRONG! I'm hurt by how even my family and I have been treated in the town we live in now. We lost $130,000 because of the French saying "If we are going to go to an American store we will go to the bigger one" and others who won't shop American. This movie is great for those to see what its like, to see what my family has gone through. I hope and pray no one else will ever go with we have but for those not to move where we are at either. 5 star movie!!!

lupin98 All in all...excellent...It was very true to the story...though I did not care for how "French" the actor who played Premier Bernard Lord played it...Bernard Lord is definitely French but, does not speak with that marked of an accent as was portrayed in the film...it was my only criticism, the actor certainly favored him in looks, though...it was kind of funny to see houses and streets that I recognize being shown as the "USA." My nephew is a goalie in one of the street hockey scenes. We watched this movie when it was shown on TV on Feb 1st, 2008. We may be a bit biased but, we think it shows the spirit of the youth of Fredericton and the innate goodness of the people here in our region.
