Bend it Like Beckham is one of the greatest feel-good films of all time. I am so glad it was the final story draft that was accepted and not the first one (it would have been really sad to watch tragedy unfold in such a plot because such a concept should give you great deal of hope, make you smile, etc. because reality can sometimes be miserable and you don't want to come out of a theatre watching a film that makes you feel more miserable).

Cheap shoestring budget . all time classic. Unknown actor(resses), at the TIME .LESS IS DEFINITELY MORE in this case. cos their NOW, Hollywood celebrities Goes t show that not everythg has t b about big,beautiful. Out there.loud and proud. Demure.savvy.discretion..and simple storylines that viewers can relate to, and of course a brilliant director can contribute t making wat seems ordinary into an extraordinary Box office hit. Of course there's the drop dead georgeous JRMeyerS and two stunning actresses as well. Well done .def don't make em how they used to.. ( lm sure..there's a film title in there sum where.)

You should reduce your budget on periods

[@jayyouson1994]

Love to know how producers/directors managed to get Gary Lineker, John Barnes, Alan Hansen and John Motson into the film.

[@babydsample5155]

One of the best movies ever!

Bend it like Beckham is quite simply the GREATEST FOOTBALL MOVIE EVER MADE, and it is probably one of the funniest movies you are likely to see as well. In fact it is the one notable exception to the rule, because the rule as far as football (soccer) movies go, is that they are destined to end up being a pile of turd. In other words, until BLB, all football movies were average at there very best, most likely to be a waste of time, effort and money because for some reason no ones figured out how to shoot soccer scenes for movies. BLB does a decent job, especially when you consider it had the added difficulty of trying to sell a football movie with girls as the central characters. For that alone it is worth top marks 10/10

[@Ready4Game341]

Yeah, seriously this how i will make my own version of the movie but this time with AVGN, annoying orange, CMB and Ramsay quotes in the movie.My own version will have a darker take including multiple swear words and strong violence.
