ynopsis

In 1983 Don Robson (George Innes) started a boys football team called Athletico Greenwich. Twenty years later six of the lads are still playing for the team, but things have got so much more complicated.

) is not ready to accept the fact that his father, who started the team all those years ago, is dying.

Whilst it is the Sunday football team that keeps this group of friends together, this is not a film about football. We never even see a ball get kicked. This is a film about complex relationships, and how childhood friends have to change as they mature.

Production

Much of the film was shot on the Isle of Man, taking advantage of favourable tax incentives, during 2003. Additional locations in London provided an authentic backdrop required for key scenes to place the film in Greenwich.

Reception

The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2004, [ [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0382382/releaseinfo Things to Do Before You're 30 (2004) - Release dates ] ] and received largely negative reviews, Channel 4 Film calling it a "charmless film full of gender clichés and lumpen dialogue. Not one to put on your 'things to do' list." [ [http://www.channel4.com/film/reviews/film.jsp?id=155851&page=2 Things To Do Before You're 30 Movie Review (2006) from Channel 4 Film ] ]
