Why It Belongs

The Sport Connection

Todas Las Pecas Del Mundo takes place during a World Cup year. And in a country like Mexico, where soccer is like religion, this is a big deal. People get more excited about the sport in their own local leagues they play in. Whether it's in a neighbourhood game, semi-pro league or school, more people will show interest. That's no different for the school José Miguel moves to. He joins a team of players who in any movie are the underdogs who usually have no chance of winning. Doing it out of love, we see if he can attempt to change themselves into champions. All while also making the school more excited for their nation in the years' World Cup.

Our Recommendation

Why Watch Todas Las Pecas Del Mundo

Todas Las Pecas Del Mundo is a rom-com more catered toward a younger teen audience. But, it's one that this audience will enjoy. Anyone nostalgic about the 90s will also find interest in this film since it does take place in 1994. The reviews for this film are mixed. Mostly on the average to good side. As a note, those not fluent in Spanish will need subtitles as the film's original language is in Spanish. Soccer, sport and rom-com fans, give this one a try sometime and add it to your watch list.
