A former footballer living in Brittany enlists his old teammates to help the local fisherman to win some games in order to raise money and save jobs.
The Dream Team (2012) is a fairly formulaic French regional comedy-drama following well-worn underdog sports team tropes. The plot of recruiting old players to save a community is derivative of countless similar films. Acting and cinematography are competent but unremarkable for a mid-tier French production. The Breton coastal setting gives the ending a modest warmth that elevates it slightly above the generic, but overall the film offers little that distinguishes it from the broader sports-saves-the-community genre.
