Parents' Guide to UK Untold: Jamie Vardy

A colorful character from the world of English soccer, Vardy epitomized the underdog spirit. Untold UK: Jamie Vardy charts his rise from playing the sport at a semi-professional, non-league level to a decorated career in the English Premier League after being written off as a youngster. That he retained his raw, outsider spirit while scaling the heights is all part of his appeal and gives this documentary plenty to dig into in this 90-minute overview of his life and achievements. Inevitably, the highlights come when discussing Vardy's role in Leicester City's incredible 2015-16 Premier League-winning season. The highlights are still electrifying, as the 5,000-to-1 outsiders shocked the world. To Vardy's credit, he doesn't shy away from the headlines he made for the wrong reasons, as he occasionally struggled to control his temper and his drinking. The brief insight into his upbringing suggests there are some deeper emotional hardships not explored here, too. Some might be disappointed that this film cuts off before his wife Rebekah's headline-grabbing legal tussle with the wife of fellow professional soccer player Wayne Rooney, but Untold UK: Jamie Vardy uncovers enough insights and minor revelations to prove a fitting celebration of a one-off talent.
