Poor "Miracle of Bern" Copy
Review date: 2008-05-10 Rating: 6 out of 10
I'm from Germany but i'm sorry the story of sixty six is stolen by the german movie from the World Cup 1954 "The Miracle of Bern". I'm sorry! Everyone please watch the movie Miracle of Bern, this movie bring you the spirit of World Cup 1954.

Best Film of the Year
Review date: 2007-09-30 Rating: 10 out of 10
For anyone who was around in the 1960's, they will really get the feeling of the time. The movie has a real 60's feel about it.
As one of the other reviewers has already said, this is more a British (English?) film than a Jewish one.
Apart from being SO funny and sad, it's also a demonstration of how an ethnic/religous minority can become totally integrated into British society and yet maintain its own traditions. Other minorities should take note.
A great film, with bits of the 1966 World cup cleverly woven into the story.
Buy and enjoy.
I was an extra!

Yes, I was an extra in this film!
It was a fun 3 days shooting and the film is a treat.
Funny, sweet, good cast... What more could you want... Oh yes, I am in it too! I'm carrying the boy on his chair with his father and friends. I'm also one of the present givers in the dream scene and I am the guy who does the crazy dance with another person on the dancfloor.
Brief but worth it!
Get the film... It's great!!!
Good English Tragi-comedy

I watched this because I work as a speechwriter, I'm not Jewish, but I get asked to write lots of bat mitzvah speeches. It provided a good insight into how important the ceremony is to a small Jewish boy. But this was more a British film, than a Jewish film.
There was lots of observant comedy of what it was like to live in London in the 1960s: the rise of the supermarkets, the drab meals and the tinny old cars.
I'm not sure if the film was a big success, it has all the ingredients of something like East is East. The football and bat mitzvah plotlines don't quite join seamlessly.
It's fun, watchable and the ending has a bit of wisdom to it. A family film.
Magnificent
