Description
Like most everyone else in England, Jess Bahmra (Parminder Nagra) idolizes professional British football player David Beckham. But Jess is different from most fans; she's a talented player in her own right. Unfortunately, her traditional Indian parents (Anupam Kher and Shaheen Khan) have other plans for their youngest daughter. They expect Jess to follow in the footsteps of her sister, Pinky (Archie Panjabi), who is preparing to marry in a traditional Indian wedding. When Jess meets Jules (Keira Knightley), who plays for a local female football team, she pursues her own dream and begins to play, keeping her participation a secret from her parents and often leading to disastrous results. To complicate matters even more, both Jess and Jules are enamored with their coach, Joe (Jonathan Rhys Meyers). Ultimately, Jess has to decide whether to live life on her terms or act in accordance with her parents' wishes. This charming coming-of-age tale is also an intriguing look at Indian culture in England. Juliet Stevenson is superb as Jules' tarty, ultra-feminine mother. BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM is directed, written, and produced by Gurinder Chadha (BHAJI ON THE BEACH, WHAT'S COOKING?), and marks the first English feature film appearance from Bollywood icon Anupam Kher.

Maybe if you are from England it would be good, but it was just too hard to understand what they were saying, it just seemed like one of those foreign movies people like kind of like moulin rouge.
an almost four. A nice movie about a teenager who grew up in England but parents are from India. She wants to play soccer, but her parents will not let her. they want her to live the traditional Indian customs. At first she has to sneak and play on an all girls team, her parents find out and want her to stop. eventually her dad takes her side. At the end she gets to live her dreams of a soccer...
Soccer sucks and this movie also sucks. This is a teeny pop bop type movie.

Not exactly deathless cinema, but entertaining and often quirky. I wouldn't put it in my top 500 favourite movies, but I certainly enjoyed watching it.
Isn't this a British film? I do not consider British films to be foreign films. What makes a film a foreign film (from the US point-of-view); a non-US studio, non-US filmmakers, made outside the US, or a non-English language? I typically concider a foreign film to be in a foreign language.
About a 3.5 in my opinion. Some good laughs, mainly from the two main characters' mothers, and they get a couple of good jabs in there concerning the Spice Girls. It went on a bit too long, but the characters were likable enough. Though the story had no real suprises, the film was worth watching.
Dull Characters..same old story line would've been more interesting to see Her GIVE IN! seeing as THAT would be shocker..new ending..all this "GRRRL Power" stuff is actually getting old
At last! A teen movie that's not about girls fighting off hormone - driven dumbbells! Jess and her girlfriend were smart; their parents were not lamebrained bigots; the teens and their parents COMPROMISED [instead of Hollywood's parental cave-ins] -- talking about smashing stereotypes! I love culture clash -- Briton versus East Indian; teens versus parents -- especially when it's done right. This...

Inspiring, compassionate, and with a sly undercurrent of social commentary, Bend It Like Beckham is a lively feel-good movie that genuinely charms.

Bend It Like Beckham (DVD - 2003)
Good movie and performances. Parminder Nagra is a star in the making. Kiera Knightley is good in this movie as well. The father is one of my favorites in this movie.
