The Last Minute

About This Movie

So, 'The Last Minute' is this quirky little comedy from '87 that really dives into the absurdity of soccer culture. You've got Walter Ferrari, an Italian coach who gets booted right before the playoffs, which sets this off-kilter tone. It's got that charming vibe, a mix of slapstick and character-driven humor that feels like it could've come from a different era. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it somehow adds to its charm. There’s something about the performances, especially from Walter, that feels genuine and makes the whole experience feel a bit more grounded, despite the wild premise. And let’s not forget those practical effects in the training scenes—they give it that old-school flair. It definitely has its own rhythm.

Not your typical sports comedy, more of a character study. · Check the performances, especially the lead's comedic timing. · The practical effects give it a nostalgic touch.
