Bend It Like Beckham
2002, 108 minutes, Rated PG
Bend it like Beckahm is the fantastic smash hit comedy that asks: Who wants to cook Chapattis when you can bend a ball like Beckham? Football-mad Jess is 18, smart, beautiful and can bend a ball better than any boy she knows. She's set her heart on playing for top women's footie team, but there's one problem: her strict parents want her to settle down with a nice boy and learn how to cook!
Flying into the face on her parents' disapproval, Jess and her best mate Jules make a name for themselves in the Beautiful Game, but then love rears its head for them both in the form of their fit (in more ways the one) coach Joe (Jonathon Rhys-Meyers - Velvet Goldmine). Jess has a tough choice - her best friend or a gorgeous bloke. What's a girl to do?
With a great cast that includes Juliet Stevenson (Emma) and Shaznay Lewis (All Saints), Bend it like Beckham is a hilarious comedy about friendship, family and football that will have you cheering from the sidelines!
