Aroview: Feelgood hit about one boy's quest for football fame in the estates of Manchester, where he emerges from the school-of-hard-knocks to find confidence through a pair of 'magic boots'.

Tried-and-true plotwise, this is still sure to rouse soccer fans and inspire young lads and lasses, with its keen Brit-pop soundtrack and perfect casting of young Lewis McKenzie as Grimble.

3 stars (Good Enough) An uplifting tale of Jimmy who dreams of playing professional football for Man City, and along the way learns to believe in his own abilities. A must-see family film for fans of the game, both young and old. ~GenXGirl
