5.0 out of 5 stars Surly Says; Longshot is a Sure Shot for any fan of FOOS!, March 26, 2000

This review is from: Long Shot Kids [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This cinema masterpiece captures the thrill and glory of thesport of foosball as well as the passionate emotion of my favoritetrapping teen idols. This movie is an emotional rollercoaster with cinematography that still ceases to amaze me even after 19 years of watching this at least once a week. This movie has given me the strength to go on and the motivation to be the best fooser I can be. Long Live LEIF GARRETT! The Only Rule of Longshot - NO SPINNING!

2.0 out of 5 stars Two hours of Cheese and an Aerial Shot That's All-Time, December 1, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Long Shot Kids [VHS] (VHS Tape)

That's the short of it. Not a whole lot of foos going on in this film. They talk about it, dream about it, even fight about it...but when push comes to shove, Longshot Kids is seriously lacking in foos footage. The major exception occurs at the World Championship of Foosball when an aerial trick shot makes the preceeding two hours suddenly seem worthwhile. Considering the movie is entirely devoted to the sport of foosball (and subsequently is one of a kind) and is filmed in the 80s with an archetypal soundtrack, avid players and cult critics are sure to find something redeemable in this film.

5.0 out of 5 stars I modeled my life after, October 3, 2002

E. W. Swackhamer got it right. The finest portrayal of the electric world of foosing. I dropped out of highschool to follow my dream of the ultimate foos. Now I got it all - a great job at the 7Elevin and a '92 Subaru stationwagen. It just doesn't get beter than this. One day I hope to code Perl by day and foos by night.
