Foreign films especially comedies have a hard time breaking into other markets because unlike genres like action and horror which have universal themes that are easily identifiable in any culture. Sexy Soccer is easy to digest despite most of its humor is sexual in nature and sex is something like horror and action which is easy to identify with.
Sexy Soccer is best described as a sex upped version of Shaolin Soccer. This film replaces the martial arts with T&A. The lead character Rolando is a wannabe ladies man who has nothing but sex on his mind 24/7. In a strange twist of fate his wish comes true as the film progresses he becomes more irresistible.
There are many suggestive and erotic camera angles like shooting up women’s skirts. Also besides featuring an obscene amount of nudity there is several Bay Watch like slow motion shots of women running. The films simulated sex scenes are borderline hard core and they feel too long and that they are being used to pad the films running time. The teams name “Friendly Balls” is guaranteed to bring a few chuckles.
