Nice idea to make a biopic of Manchester United football legend George Best, shame about the casting. John Lynch is just too old and too wrong-looking to play Bestie - though he's fit and can dribble to perfection. But that's nothing next to the folly of getting Roger Daltrey to sign on the team as Rodney Marsh, Jerome Flynn as Bobby Charlton, Ian Hart as Nobby Stiles, Linus Roache as Denis Law. Then almost everything that could go wrong with this film has. We learn little about Best except that booze and birds were his downfall which is rather well-known, and even the seamless process work putting the actors on the pitch in old footer newsreels goes to no avail. The late Ian Bannen brings the film its main distinction as Sir Matt Busby, the manager who tries to harness Best's talent, and Patsy Kensit isn't too bad as Best's poor, mistreated girlfriend Anna (a weirdly fictionalised representation of all the women in Best's life). It's a loser, but there might be just enough here for die-hard footie fans.
