Empire Olly Richards

Filmically it's more of a pleasantly diverting kick about in the park than a 90th minute back-of-the-net at the world cup final. Read full review

Jason Anderson

David Beckham may star in Goal II: Living the Dream but calling him an actor is like calling his wife a singer. Read full review

Robert Koehler

The rags-to-near-riches saga of "Goal!" has turned into a risible riches-are-awful tale in Goal II: Living the Dream. Read full review

It was awesome! Gavin Harris was amazing, and it was very entertaining. I thought that any shorter would have been too short.

I think the movie was EXACTLY just as good as the first movie which is why this movie is also getting the same rating I gave to the first movie.

Way overlong, a significant amount could have been cut without effecting the film. Pleasing performances, soccer fans will enjoy it. The film is rather pointless, and the characters are very shallow. Too many boring stretches.

Lightweight popcorn movie with typical sports movie plotline and action. Beckham stands around and shows off his tattoos a lot.

Saw this on a plane across the Atlantic and it was so bad that I could not even finish it. If you are a big football fan there are a load of cameos.
