Bend It Like Beckham Movie Review (2. I saw more important films at Sundance 2.
It stars a young actress of luminous appeal, it involves sports, romance and of course her older sister's wedding, and it has two misinformed soccer moms- -one who doesn't know a thing about the game and another who doesn't even know her daughter plays it. The movie, set in London, tells the story of Jesminder Bjamra, known as . Her parents are Sikhs who fled from Uganda to England, where her dad works at Heathrow airport.
They live in the middle- class suburb of Hounslow, under the flight path of arriving jets, where her mother believes that Jess has two great duties in life: to learn to prepare a complete Indian meal, and to marry a nice Indian boy, in exactly that order.

In her family's living room is a large portrait of a Sikh spiritual leader, but above Jess's bed is her own inspiration- -the British soccer superstar David Beckham, better known to some as Posh Spice's husband. To Beckham's portrait she confides her innermost dream, which is to play for England.
Of course a girl cannot hope to be a soccer star, and an Indian girl should not play soccer at all, since in her mother's mind the game consists of . The coach is a young Irishman named Joe (Jonathan Rhys- Meyers), and it is love at second or third sight- -complicated, because Joe cannot date his players, and Juliette has a crush on him, too. But all of these elements make the film sound routine, and what makes it special is the bubbling energy of the cast and the warm joy with which Gurinder Chadha, the director and co- writer, tells her story.

The parents must be strict and traditional, but also loving and funny, and Mr. Bhamra (Anupam Kher and Shaheen Khan) are classic examples of the type. So is Juliette's mother, Paula (the wry, funny British star Juliet Stevenson), who tries to talk her tomboy daughter into Wonderbras, and spends most of the movie fearing that a girl who doesn't want to wear one must be a lesbian. Nagra, is a physically exuberant girl whose love of soccer crosses over into a love of life. She runs onto the field as if simply at play, she does cartwheels after scoring goals, and although she deceives her parents about her soccer dreams, she loves them and understands their point of view. Her father, who played cricket in Uganda but was discriminated against by the local London club, still bears deep wounds, but ?
All ethnic comedies feature scenes that make you want to leave the theater and immediately start eating, and . It understands that for Jess' generation soccer is not about displaying bare legs (Jess has another reason to be shy about that), but it also understands the hopes and ambitions of parents- -and, crucially, so does Jess, who handles the tentative romance with her coach in a way that combines tenderness with common sense.
A closing scene at the airport, which in a lesser movie would have simply hammered out a happy ending, shows her tact and love. Like all good movies, . It's being promoted in the magazines and on the cable channels that teenage girls follow, but recently we showed it on our Ebert & Roeper Film Festival at Sea, to an audience that ranged in age from 7 to 8.
For that matter, the hip Sundance audience, dressed in black and clutching cell phones and cappuccinos, loved it, too. And why not, since its characters and sensibility are so abundantly lovable.
