Amdaeo loves Metegol, but will he be able to p'lay and win a real football match?
Excellent. Amazing.
Truly unforgettable. Friendship, values, codes, are dealt with in the
film I strongly recommend for the whole family... Don't miss it!!! The
voices for the characters are excellently chosen, since the actors
reflect the profile of each character. Juan José Campanella shows again
that he is one of the best Argentine directors ever. If I voted, I would
send this movie to compete for the Oscars, because it does have chances
to win. Take my word for it, go to the cinema. You will enjoy for
sure... The plot is perfect and the events do happen in our daily lives.
Who has not played ";etegol"? At least in Argentina, if you say no, you
must be lying. We love Metegol and football, of course and we will
never forget this beautiful movie, which will remain in your hearts for
good.
