It Like Beckham is true girl power. This glorious comedy centers on Jess (Parminder
Nagra), an Indian girl born in England whose only desire is to become a football--or, as
we say on this side of the Atlantic, soccer--star like her idol, David Beckham; but her
traditional family refuses to even consider it. With the help of her new friend Juliet
(Keira Knightley), Jess secretly joins a girls' team under the guidance of a male coach
(Jonathan Rhys Meyers). As the team starts to gain some attention, Jess's secret can't be
kept forever. The story of Bend It Like Beckham is so genuine and detailed that it
transcends all the sports-movie formulas that it also fulfills with cheeky exuberance.
Wonderfully acted, and written and directed with loving care by Gurinder Chadha (Bhaji
on the Beach, What's Cooking?), this movie is pure delight from start to
finish. Imran Ali, Ameet Chana, Saraj Chaudhry, and Trey Farley |
