MAGNIFICENT ELEVEN, The (DVD) DVD

A feel-good British comedy in a similar vein to The Full Monty and Bend it like Beckham with a nod to Slumdog Millionaire, released on DVD 13th May 2013 The Cowboys are a local Sunday soccer team who always seem to finish bottom of the league. Now, they've finally run out of money and after losing yet another match they do what they always do to drown their sorrows - go to the pub and head off for an Indian. Barred from every Indian restaurant in town due to their bad behaviour, there's only the Taj Tandoori left to go for the Cowboys last team meal. When it comes... to paying the bill the realization of not having enough money finally hits home but instead of calling the Police the owner offers the Cowboys a sponsorship deal they just can't refuse. Financing the team to keep it going the Cowboys in exchange must work as waiters in his restaurant, rename the team the Taj Cowboys and sport a ridiculous new football strip. Unknown to the Cowboys the restaurateur is really using them as security against a local racketeer run by a psychotic gangster known only as American Bob (Robert Vaughn). Reasoning with American Bob only leads to more misery and destruction but when the chips are down the Cowboys and the Indians form the most unlikely of alliances as they take on American Bob and his mighty bandits head on. Together they'll prove that... Eleven united can never be defeated. Special Features: Trailer Commentary with Director Jeremy Wooding and Producer John Adams Four Behind-The-Scenes Featurettes.
