The Soccer Football Movie (which sounds like another entry in the long line of movie titles that sound like they were made by lazy execs) is an animated film. In it, the All-Star Cup is about to happen, as soccer superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic qualifies. However, mad scientist Wierd Al Yankovich decides to steal his talents using a fake soccer ball containing slugs to mutate Zlatan and other soccer stars, four fans must do something to stop them.
Okay, as someone who as dealt with movies that are so bad, they are dumped onto Netflix (as the platform seems to be the streaming service equivalent of a city trash dump), this has to be one of the worst animated films I have ever seen. As much as I like Weird Al and his musical career, I felt he was the only good thing about this movie due to his humor, as everything else fell flat. Also, they get real-life soccer players Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Megan Rapione in two of the major roles, but even having actual soccer stars can't save this movie from its flaws, which includes too many fourth wall breaks, horrible running gags like a character asking for a selfie at the worst time, and the fact they make a whoopie cushion, of all things, the McGuffin that causes the two athletes to mutate back and forth. Also, the animation looks like it was made on a Dreamworks computer from the 2000's, and clocking in at an hour and thirteen minutes, it feels more like something I'd find direct-to-video (and in one of those bins where Wal-Mart puts the movies they have on discount that either everyone already has or does not want) than something to serve as a streaming service exclusive.
