As I am from Scotland, I have only seen the original version. As that is to do with real football I like it.
The new one is baseball and as British I do not see what the fuss is about that. I can not see the film doing anything anywhere else than the States. Maybe why I have not even heard of it being released here.

i thought it was pretty good. parts of it were really funny. the problem is you have to know a bit about red sox history to appreciate whats so funny about it. they did a fantastic job of portraying boston and boston's fans. i'm from boston, and watching that movie... it was like i actually knew people who are exactly like the characters in that movie. my one criticism of it is that you definitly won't enjoy it as much if you are not from boston.
