While professional soccer is still struggling to find a firm foothold in the United States, in the 1970s the North American Soccer League marked the brave first attempt to introduce the game to American sports fans. While most teams had only limited success at best, one did manage to break through to genuine mainstream popularity -- the New York Cosmos. The brainchild of Steve Ross (a passionate soccer fan who was also a major executive at Warner Communications) and Ahmet Ertegun and Nesuhi Ertegun (the founders of Atlantic Records), the Cosmos got off to a rocky start in 1971 (no one was especially happy with the playing field at Randall's Island, and some rowdy fans were known to throw broken glass onto the grass), but things changed in 1975 when the world's most celebrated soccer star, the Brazilian champion Pele, signed with the Cosmos for a five-million-dollar payday. With the arrival of Pele, the Cosmos became a hit with both fans and the media, and the players became the toast of the town, earning their own private table at Studio 54. A number of other international soccer stars were soon lured to the Cosmos, including Franz Beckenbauer, Rodney Marsh, and Carlos Alberto, but with the turn of the decade, the team began losing favor with fans and folded in 1985. Once in a Lifetime: The Extraordinary Story of the New York Cosmos is a documentary by Paul Crowder and John Dower that looks at the team's remarkable history and includes interviews with many of the Cosmos' star players (with the notable exception of Pele, who declined to participate). ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Some New Trailer For Once in a Lifetime: The Extraordinary Story of the New York Cosmos
New Review For Movie Once in a Lifetime: The Extraordinary Story of the New York Cosmos
... treats its audience like a bunch of attention deficit disorder cases.Peter Debruge-Miami Herald
... accomplishes the minor miracle of making you mourn a sports team you likely never knew existed in the first place.
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie-Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Once in a Lifetime, which relies on interviews and archival footage, may not be a great documentary, but it certainly gets its points across.
Robert Denerstein-Denver Rocky Mountain News
Once in a Lifetime would have benefited greatly from historical and outside perspective, but the story on screen is such a kick that even monotone narrator Matt Dillon gets caught up in the excitement.
Terry Lawson-Detroit Free Press
A cavalcade of theatrical personalities, juicy war stories, unforgiven grievances and old-school cinema dazzle.
Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
An energetic and often enjoyable documentary, particularly for soccer fans.
Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times
Once in a Lifetime is like a soccer team that plays good defense but lacks offense.
Tony Macklin-Las Vegas Weekly
Well-researched and exuberantly compiled, this is a thoroughly entertaining tribute to America's first tackle at surgically implanting the beautiful game.
Leigh Singer-Film4
Not being a soccer fan, the Cosmos phenomenon had no impact on me at the time nor does this energetic film change that opinion.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
mostly I'm stricken with nostalgia for '70s fashion and Marv Albert's hairdo
Christopher Null-Filmcritic.com
An energetically told tale, with eccentric characters to spare and a nostalgically bittersweet tone.
Duane Dudek-Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
With just a little tweaking ... could be reworked in a Christopher Guest-style mockumentary of swollen egos and corporate whimsy.
Philip Martin-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Packed with observations and recrimations, many of the latter aimed at or by Chinaglia, which makes for some gossipy entertainment.
Marc Savlov-Austin Chronicle
... the film is bursting with astonishing old footage, hip tunes, vivid interviews and you-couldn't- make-it-up anecdotes.
Shawn Levy-Oregonian
Once in a Lifetime is a marvelous primer on this remarkable event in soccer history, most likely never to be seen again.
Brian Orndorf-eFilmCritic.com
It's a rags-to-riches story that shows how American money and imagination revolutionized not just a team, but the entire sport of soccer, back then and still to this day.
Jeff Rusnak-South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Once in a Lifetime is riveting cinema for at least an hour, after which it starts to feel a bit like thumbing through a scrapbook. But American soccer fans -- and those interested in the business of sports -- will eat it up.
Jean Lowerison-San Diego Metropolitan
New York went bust, so did the team, yet scattered seeds for smarter soccer growth later.
David Elliott-San Diego Union-Tribune
It has some funny scenes and wild characters who reflect back on the glory years, where the clashes of ego were as legendary as Pelé's amazing bicycle-kick goals.
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone-TheMovieChicks.com
The movie is ultimately too long and too this-no-name-player- was-traded-for-that- no-name-player detailed for casual viewers.
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press
Essentially an extended cable special.
Peter Sobczynski-eFilmCritic.com
