Just re-watched this and I had forgotten what a great movie this is. I love teh way that Gurinder Chadha portrays Indian family life in such an entertaining way, I loved another of her movies, Bhaji on the beach, which was even funnier than this, but Bend it like Beckham is a great story, brilliantly told and wonderfully acted by everyone.
Parminder Nagra, Keira Knightley and Jonathan Rhys Meyers were all good in the lead roles, but I thought that Anupam Kher was brilliant as the father.
It is wonderful how Gurinder Chadha shows the lives of immigrants to this country in such an entertaining, but thought provoking way.
I have this now on DVD and it is definitely one to keep.
