For all those who were worried about the quality of the movie Footy Legends (released tomorrow) in today's Austalian Australia's premiere film critic David Stratton gave it an overwhelmingly positive review. This is especially significant as he has a history of generally disliking 'feel-good' films and recent Australian comedies.

'The second feature film from Kahn Do ia an entertaining, if implausible, feelgood movie about a team of unemployed kids from Sydney's Western suburbs who form a footy team. There are winning perfomances from most of the cast (i.e. probably not mario), including the director's brother, Ahn Do, who is excellent as the hero, and the scene-stealing Lisa Saggers as his little sister.'
Reviews like this will go a long way to pulling in the general public, and consider the bad publicity league has got lately to have something positive about league out there for all to see is fantastic.
Good on Kahn Do for bringing league back to the big screen and not giving into corporate pressure to turn it into a film about Aussie rules, soccer or rugby union (got that last piece of info from Filmlink magazine).
Peace out, Gibbo.
