From Hollywood.com

Quote:

Synopsis: An Indian family in London tries to raise their soccer-playing daughter in a traditional way. Unlike her traditional older sister, Pinky, who is preparing for a lavish Indian wedding and a lifetime of cooking the perfect chapati, Jess dreams of playing soccer professionally, like her hero David Beckham. Wholeheartedly against Jess’ unorthodox ambition, her parents eventually reveal that their reservations have more to do with protecting her, than with holding her back. When Jess is forced to make a choice between tradition and her beloved sport, her family must decide whether to let her chase her dream--and a soccer ball--or follow a more orthodox path.

I'm probably one of the few here that would like to see this, but anything football related is a big winner with me.

I've already seen this as it was released in Europe & Asia last summer. I have it on DVD. It's a good movie, despite having a fairly unknown cast. I recommend it to everyone!

Cool.

I hope it comes to my local theatre.

My friend in France recommended it to me, and I kept on looking all over for it. Good to know its finally being released here! It's called Kick it like Beckham in Germany.

Those fools.

The saying is "bend it like Beckham".
Kick it just doesn't sound right.

My start page is Yahoo News, and they are advertising a clip from "this British hit" movie.

I heard that they are going to use Mia Hamm (sp?) to promote it in the States as Beckham isn't really famous over there.
