In brief, this is a movie-documentary where six former Manchester United players, sit around a mock table and shower praise on each other in turn. Beckham, Giggs, Butt, Scholes and Neville Bros each think whoever is sitting opposite them is the best thing since sliced bread.
I found the most notable absence being the lack of any input from Alex Ferguson (arguably the most qualified person to give some sort of opinion/commentary). Instead we get serial interviews of Tony Blair. When did he become a football pundit?
Eric Cantona comes out of whatever cave he has retreated to, giving very entertaining recounts. And then Zidane is also added to the star cast. OK, he is a footballer who played for another team around the same time, but there are dozens of others who could have added much more to this production instead. Was he added to beef up the number of stars on the credits list?
I agree with a previous review, that considering the material the producers had to work with, you leave the cinema wanting.
