'Bend It Like Beckham' is a sporty, hilarious drama about an Indian teenager living in London who possesses the skill and ability to play football professionally. It is packed will never-ending comedy, as she struggles to encourage her traditionally-cultured parents to let her play ball.
In this inspiring motion-picture, a David Beckham fan named Jess (played by Parminder Nagra) who usually has a kick-out with her best friend, Tony (played by Ameet Chana) receives the opportunity to become the newest member of a female football team when Juliette (played by Keira Knightley) discovers talent in her.
As the film progresses, her parents become more and more hesitant towards her ambition to play the sport full-time, this leads to her having to sneak out of the house and lie to her parents in order to follow her dreams of playing professionally. Things start to get heated up in the storyline, as the wedding of her sister(played by Archie Panjabi) approaches, usually this would bring joy to a family, but in this case, it brings misery to Jess's heart, because it is on the same day as the cup final against QPR. Now I loved this film, but I don't want to spoil it for those of you who haven't seen this dramatic comedy, I highly recommend it. I promise you won't be disappointed. Find out whether Jess's father (played by Anupam Kher) and mother (played by Shaheen Khan) will find it in their hearts to let her make her own decisions for her future career. Watch it and find out!
