In this classic tale of soccer player saves an orphanage, some old priest guy who runs an orphanage is dying of cancer and he's trying to get the orphans taken care of so he writes to Pele and ask him to come to their fundraising event. Pele never gets the letter so therefore he doesn't come.
Orphanage is in trouble and pretty soon the kids go to Pele and they recruit him and he comes and coaches them.
Lots of soccer playing, a little bit of charming acting, and some easy as numbers plot. It went by quick and painless.
Pele stars as himself and he interacts with the orphans and looks thoroughly good guy in this. Its the story of him saving an orphanage, basically, and I guess it's based on a true story? At the end it says the orphans live on land donated by Pele.
Anyways, it's all fine. The kids are surprisingly good at soccer, and again, I wonder where this was filmed. Is this actually a Brazilian creation? It certainly looks like it. No one besides Pele has an accent though.
I dunno. This movie was pretty stupid. It hits the marks you need it to, but damn. It's like, not a good movie or anything. About a 2. A 1.5? I dunno.
