If you're not a Man U fan - you'd probably give this a 1 star at best. Gives you a bit of an insight into the club many years ago and what made this club the great club it is today, but also the interaction with the League at the time. Scenes such as the air crash I thought were poorly done and the storyline in those next couple of weeks was quite disjointed and I don't think really told the story and the impact it had. Disappointed in general as I was hoping for more.

This was very good. I'm a non football person and I found it fascinating and sad.

Absolutely loved it - especially the extra on 'Preparing for United'. Recommend to anyone, even non football people similar to me.

I love my football and my true stories. This is a remarkable story included the great Bobby Charlton. I didn't know about this piece of history. It was refreshing to go back in time and be reminded of true values. Not just for footy fans.

You don't need to be a football fan to enjoy this movie. Great acting of this tear enducing story. Manchester United Footbal Clubs' tragic story of its loss of eight of its young and very talented stars in the late 50's; continues to show why sport and teamship can always bring out the best in communities and people.

Brilliant. Beautifully filmed, and great performances from all. Moving but not overly sentimental. It truly felt like it was filmed in the 50's. A great movie for football lovers and non football lovers alike.

A great Sunday arvo movie if you are in to Football of the round ball variety this is a thoughtful and well produced movie based on the factual plane crash involving the famous "Busby Babes" Manchester United Team. Good acting with pathos and empathy this is a movie that is interesting from beginning to end.
