Video Review: 'The Cup' (2012)

EW's GRADE
C+

Details Movie Rated: G; Genres: Action/Adventure, Drama; With: Jamyang Lodro and Orgyen Tobgyal; Distributor: New Line Cinema

Soccer fever strikes ... a Tibetan monastery! The Bhutanese The Cup offering follows a group of young Buddhist monks obsessed with finding a way to watch the World Cup finals. Despite spiky performances by the kids, this sweet-natured film feels as much-ado-about-nothing as, well, a soccer match. C+
