A good clean movie with many locals in roles in the band and in the organisation of the same, the film is one of those heart-warmers that does not offend and has some top humour on display.

No sex, nudity or profanity spoils this film which is the opening match of the 2011 Rugby World Cup between Tonga and France.

If you or your family are rugby fans - and love a laugh - this one is for you.

Interestingly, the REAL band that pulled off the stunt off; of essentially conning the World Cup organisers to allow a "professed Tongan brass band" of absolute amateurs to entertain the rugby-mad spectators in exchange for seats at the game.

Great stuff.

Just streamed this on Apple and it was such a pleasure. NZ is home to a multicultural melting pot including wonderful communities such as the Tongans. It's great to see such a film that celebrates their individuality and culture.

Lovely to see my hometown Poneke on a good day, and makes such a glorious backdrop to a proudly local production.

If you want to learn more about Kiwi diversity and how the kingdom of Tonga are proud members of our Pasfika culture and also demonstrates their passion for rugby, win, lose or draw.

Lovely cameos from Suzy Cato and Karen O'Leary, makes everyone's hearts sing but particularly the brass band!
