Overview

Pete is a football enthusiast, who plays as a goalkeeper for FC HeMan, a team playing in the lowest possible league. His girlfriend, Anna, hates the whole sport. Pete and his teammates are planning to travel to watch the Football World Cup held in Germany. Anna is not excited about Pete's plan to leave her alone for the summer. Therefore Anna decides to present a challenge to Pete: She will form a team from the wives and girlfriends of the FC HeMan players, and then the women's team (FC Venus) would play against FC HeMan. If the women's team wins, the men will have to give up football, and if the men's team wins, the women will never complain about their hobby.

I watched this twenty years after its release, which probably gave it some nostalgic credit. It is not a bad film, and most of the actors, especially Taneli Mäkelä, deliver better performances than I expected. Unfortunately, the story never felt believable or consistent enough to work as genuinely good drama. And if a film cannot make its characters and events feel true, then it needs something else to carry it, something wild, funny, unsettling, or haunting. This one never quite gets there either, so it ends up stuck in between.
