Audiences and critics alike are cheering wildly for this "exhilarating…terrific comedy" (Entertainment Weekly) about a young girl who is torn between adhering to family traditions and attaining super-stardom on the soccer field. Hailed as the year's must-see crowd pleaser that "makes you feel good and laugh out loud" (Chicago Sun-Times), "Bend It Like Beckham" scores! (Time Magazine) Reader Reviews Synopsis: The feel good, girl power movie of `03 definitely has to be `Bend It Like Beckham' a tale of East meets West on an English football field. Parminder Nagra is terrific as Jess, the Indian girl who loves to play football (soccer) and dreams of being able to bend it like her idol Beckham. Despite her parents wishes she joins a girls team at the insistence of her new friend Juliet (Keira Knightley). Determined to break free from the cultural expectations placed on her by her family, Jess now has the opportunity to prove how good a player she is and realize her dream. The possibilities are endless for those who dare to reach for the stars. As her relationship with her coach (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) deepens she may have found even more than she had initially anticipated. Critique: While `Bend It Like Beckham' will appeal primarily to a female audience I think it's something that can be enjoyed by all if given a chance. Parminder and Keira are adorable and the action upbeat. I also enjoyed the soundtrack which like the film is a cultural smorgasbord, blending western pop tunes with traditional Indian music.
