Title: Interesting Story, Without All the Angst
Review: The plot is standard enough: a girl has a dream that her parents don't support. "Bend It Like Beckham" adds a bit of a twist by throwing in cultural inhibitions. There is, after all, a difference between rebelling against one's parents, and potentially turning your back against one's cultural heritage.This movie manages to pull off all of the struggles inherent in that. There is humour that those of the portrayed ethnicity will relate to. These jokes, however, aren't so deeply enmeshed that the rest of the audience is lost. The film is, in turns, light hearted and thoughtful.All in all, I think this was a great mix of thought-provoking and fun.
