Goal 2: Living the Dream (12A)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Despite the subtitle, Goal 2: Living The Dream isn't an adaptation of Chantelle's autobiography, although if it had been, it couldn't have been any more vapid than this poorly written, poorly acted apologia for multi-millionaire footballers. For those readers who didn't see the first film, and I'd assume that's almost all of you, it was about a Mexican kid who was plucked from the streets of Los Angeles and signed for Newcastle United. In part two he's off to Real Madrid, but he's still a squeaky-clean paragon: there are no drugs, orgies or headbutts here, which was presumably a condition imposed by the many genuine players who cameo. You think it's all over? Goal 3 is already in the works.
