I'm always reluctant to watch american movies about football, because I feel that they lack the real knowledge about the sport to appropriately put it into the big screen. But for Alex & Me, they got Alex Morgan, and she knows a lot about the sport and its mechanics. She is not only a great player, but she's also a smart player, which is something you always want to have in a team. Her presence in this film gave me a bit of hope regarding the treatment of the sport in the film, although not real expectations.
It turned out to be a moving film, filled with hope and dreams, not over-the-top dreams, but achievable ones according to the context of the film. A young girl trying to do what she loves, which is to play football, to do it well and to be victorious.
Overall, it's a nice, entertaining sports family film; Siena Agudong does a great job as the protagonist, Reagan. Plus, you got international soccer superstar, Alex Morgan. You'll have a good time.
