-Keira
Knightley
Like
most
everyone
else
in
England,
Jess
Bahmra
(Parminder
Nagra)
idolizes
professional
British
football
player
David
Beckham.
But
Jess
is
different
from
most
fans;
she's
a
talented
player
in
her
own
right.
Unfortunately,
her
traditional
Indian
parents
(Anupam
Kher
and
Shaheen
Khan)
have
other
plans
for
their
youngest
daughter.
They
expect
Jess
to
follow
in
the
footsteps
of
her
sister,
Pinky
(Archie
Panjabi),
who
is
preparing
to
marry
in a
traditional
Indian
wedding.
When
Jess
meets
Jules
(Keira
Knightley),
who
plays
for
a
local
female
football
team,
she
pursues
her
own
dream
and
begins
to
play,
keeping
her
participation
a
secret
from
her
parents
and
often
leading
to
disastrous
results.
To
complicate
matters
even
more,
both
Jess
and
Jules
are
enamored
with
their
coach,
Joe
(Jonathan
Rhys
Meyers).
Ultimately,
Jess
has
to
decide
whether
to
live
life
on
her
terms
or
act
in
accordance
with
her
parents'
wishes.
This
charming
coming-of-age
tale
is
also
an
intriguing
look
at
Indian
culture
in
England.
Juliet
Stevenson
is
superb
as
Jules'
tarty,
ultra-feminine
mother.
BEND
IT
LIKE
BECKHAM
is
directed,
written,
and
produced
by
Gurinder
Chadha
(BHAJI
ON
THE
BEACH,
WHAT'S
COOKING?),
and
marks
the
first
English
feature
film
appearance
from
Bollywood
icon
Anupam
Kher.
