This film comes under many genres , including : Sport , Romance , Comedy and Drama to name a few.

Advantages: Football, cultural issues Disadvantages: None
Who wants to cook Aloo Gobi when you can bend a ball likeBeckham?
BenditLikeBeckham is a 2002 British comedy. I think, to me, it's one of those films that when they were making it they probably didn't realise how successful or likedit would actually turn out to be. It stars, at that point in time fairly unknown actors who have gone on to have amazingly successful careers, Keira Knightley who is now, according to an article I read, the second highest paid actress in Hollywood, Parminer Nagra who has found fame in ER and Jonathan Rhys Meyers who has stared in The Tudors and is a model.

Advantages: Feel-good, funny, suitable for all the family Disadvantages: None
I didn't expect a lot from BendItLikeBeckham when my auntie bought me the DVD for Christmas. I knew there was quite a lot of positive reviews about it when it first came out, but a film about football? Didn't seem my kind of thing at all!
The storyline: Jess is an 18 year-old girl, with strict Indian parents and a passion for football (and David Beckham). She has a kick-around in the park now and then but that's the extent of it, as her parents disapprove. She meets Jules, who plays for the local women's football team. Jules offers her a place on the team, but Jess is worried what her parents think.
They are traditionalists and their strict Indian beliefs are very different to hers. They believe football is not suitable for a girl, and that she should concentrate on school and being accepted for a good university. They forbid ...
