Like North Country, we suspect this is also a movie that'll
appeal more to the dykes than the gays and trannies. Real: The
Movie
revolves around what is possibly the best soccer club
in the world, Real Madrid.


Five short stories are weaved around the club, each story tells
of a person whose life is changed by Real Madrid. Ansou (Maguette
Coly), for instance, walks for two days every week just to get to
a TV set to watch Real Madrid play. Another fan is woman footballer
Megan (Jessica Bohl), who breaks her leg but is inspired by Ronaldo
to get up and play again.


These stories are intercut with plenty of footage showing Real
players like Beckham, Ronaldo and Zidane in action and off-the-field.
Strictly for football fans.
