An attempt to an original movie

This movie starts off with a good and original idea: comparing a couple's life with a soccer game.

But the resemblances between the two are really hard to find in the plot. Sure enough, we have two famous soccer commentators staring and giving a few hints, but we really don't know where the final score comes from.

As for the story itself, i would just say it is very weak. Basically, the plot is of a guy and a girl that live together, which is as always a difficult and full of compromises situation.

And the acting is very bad, especially from Farrugia (even though i'm a huge fan of him)and Abelanski, the hero's best friends. But maybe i'm wrong. Maybe they act well, and it's just that their characters are very weakly developed. Or maybe it's a little bit of both.

To summarize, this movie isn't even suitable for passing time. I watched it thinking i would at least get a good crack, but i was wrong.
