Entertaining but not a classic!
Review date: 2005-03-21 Rating: 6 out of 10
An entertaining film - not original and not really very believable in places BUT it was entertaining and appealing to a wide (i.e. men and women) audience as it featured football and Sean Bean. What more can I say?

Review date: 2004-12-09 Rating: 10 out of 10
When Saturday Comes is a footBall Drama Film set in Sheffield about a boy called Jimmy Muir who as we first seen him has two options after his last day at School he can rather go down the pit or work down at the Factory as suggested by his careers advisor at School.But the boy has other ideas he wants to play professional football thats all he has ever wanted to do.
Some years later that boy has grown up and becomes Sean Beans Character(Adult)Jimmy Muir and works at a Factory.The film then goes through the various trails and tributations of him experiencing family life,romance with Emily Lloyd(the romance interest) who he meets at the factory,his sucess on the football pitch playing for the local pub football team, and how he manages his life.
All in all i would say i enjoyed watching this film,if you are in to a football as well as Sean Bean,ie you like some of the films that he has done then its well worth a look
Classic hero stuff, but rough.

If you like football, this is the main reason you're eyeing up this movie. Well, you'll get your football and your Roy of the Rovers heroics, plus some healthy touches such as the pain as well as the glory of a so-called top lifestyle.
The whole atmosphere of the film is pretty coarse, but there are intersting takes on the rather absent father-son relationship, and an excellently played mother - very understated but effective.
But I guess most of you want to see goals, imagine you are playing for your dream team, so this will stimulate a daydream or two!
This film is a feel good film and every one should watch it
