Bend It Like Beckam

Last night I watched Bend It Like Beckam.  It is about two girls who love to play soccer.  Juliette is English whose mother disaproves of her playing soccer and ignoring boys.  Jess is Indian, whose family does not want her to play.  Jess sneaks away from her family to play on a women's team.  When her family finds out they are furious, expecially when it causes her sister's fiance to break off their engagement.

This is not the first time I've seen this movie.  I am no longer a fan of Keira Knightly, but in this movie she does a good job and the rest of the actors are great.  It's you typical sports movie, but the protrayal of Indian culture is especially good.  The writer did a really good job with the script; it has some great lines.

I would recomend this movie if you like sports movies or have middle school girls who like sports.  I would also recomend it if you want a feel good comedy.  The plot is not too deep, but it's fun

IMDB:
Jess: I'm sorry I missed that penalty, coach. 
Joe: It's okay, losing to the Jerries on penalties comes natural to you English. You're part of tradition now!
