My friends and I used to play Foosball in bars regularly when we were in our 20s. In our 50s now we still get together a handful of times each year to see if we still have skills.

Considering the waning popularity of foosball in our country, I was surprised how professional this documentary was. The quality of the video shots was great.

We loved getting the background of the sport and hearing about its heyday, as well as the likely causes for its loss in popularity.

Loved seeing the skills and dedication that the featured players each had for the sport.

My big complaint was that I thought some of the movie got a little repetitive in places, and thought that maybe they could have shaved off 15-20 more minutes in the editing process to make it a tighter film.

Nonetheless, for anyone who likes to shoot foosball, it is definitely worth a watch.

IMHO, just like "The Matrix" should have stopped after the first movie, Russian Doll should have stopped after season 1.

**I highly recommend watching Season 1 and stopping there.**

Although Season 2 started with some potential, in the end it was a jumbled story that just didn't really seem to lead anywhere. I felt it was a waste of time; thankfully it only totaled to 7 episodes for a total runtime of around 3 hours w/o credits.

I saw this movie with the wife, in part because the IMDB description said the genre was: comedy,romance. But I find that wholly inaccurate; instead I'd describe this movie as a dark comedy. The movie crossed the bounds of accepted social norms in multiple fashions, and I thus find it's R rating appropriate, as the situations aren't appropriate for children.

Despite the inaccurate genre description, my wife and I still enjoyed the movie. I'd probably rate the movie a 6.7.
