Mal
(Nighy), a retired scout, coaches a football team of homeless guys and they’re
going to the Homeless World Cup (a real thing) in Rome. They’re all homeless
for a reason.
Vinny
(Ward) is newly homeless, new to the team, and reluctant to take part in the camaraderie.
Yes, it’s feel-good, but it’s a good feel-good, and especially now when FIFA and the US are being such jerks in the currently on-going Football World Cup, this film is heart-warming, trite at times, but heart-warming.
