    Save Our Squad with David Beckham is a sports-movie-worthy underdog story, charming and inspiring and a reminder of the childlike joy of sports.

    [The Westward Boys are] a very likeable, watchable bunch and inevitably you find yourself rooting for them. ... But Beckham doesn’t add much. He was always better known for his right foot than his charisma.

    As a concept, it is shamelessly cynical and manipulative. ... Despite these constraints (and the fact that Beckham is that rare case of a preternaturally good-looking superstar without the charisma to carry a programme), Save Our Squad survives and thrives. This is partly because when Beckham is properly in and among them while they are training, the artifice falls away.

    At times, Beckham’s inspirational speeches venture so far into cliché that you half expect Mickey Mouse to pop up in his PE kit. But who can blame him for wanting to bring some joy into the world? I couldn’t wipe my own cheesy grin off my face.
