Guys and Balls Movie Review 2004

Small-town baker's son Ecki (Bruckner) is the goalie on the local soccer team. After losing an important game, Ecki is discovered in a drunken embrace with another man and his teammates throw him off the squad. Vowing to get even, Ecki decides to put together an all-gay team and challenge his hometown's homophobes to a grudge match. So he heads to the city to recruit players and, naturally, finds mostly stereotypical oddballs. Lots of good-natured crass humor and rowdiness. German with subtitles.
