Bend It Like Beckham

Just watched Bend It Like Beckham with kareila and alierak. What a delightful movie! It's funny, it's touching, it's sweet; it's got great action shots and a wonderful soundtrack. Just a pleasure.

If you'd gotten the impression (as I had at one point) that it's just a movie about football (US: "soccer"), it's not. It's a coming of age story, in the tradition of all the best coming of age stories. And I'm not going to say any more.
