It’s the worst sports movie I’ve ever seen. The movie didn’t take the subject matter seriously. Taika Waititi admitted in the movie trailer that he know nothing about football. I’m guessing he doesn’t know anything about sports in general. The movie kind of feels like what you’d get from a sports movie if it’s written and directed by someone who’s not an avid sports fan.
Michael Fassbender was completely wasted in this movie. He was fine, but this movie is beneath him. Not to mention Elisabeth Moss. What on earth was she doing in this movie. She’s a talented actress and much better than the bit role she has in this movie.

There’s a documentary about the events in this story. I wish I had watched that instead.
Grade: D
About The Peetimes: I think the 2nd Peetime is the best. It’s all a training and recruiting montage. You won’t miss anything important.
There are extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Next Goal Wins.
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
This is a great app. I wish more people would support it
This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let’s you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It’s really a wonderful app. I’ve subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn’t seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven’t tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!
Developers note: RunPee doesn’t make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We’ll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.
