Ok. Bend it Like Beckham is exceedingly well done in its performances by the actors. Translation= that movie was awesome. Not only does it show the drive of many girls today but it added music and a hot coach. It is absolutely a good movie for soccer fans out there. It needed work on showing more soccer scenes but all in all it's a movie worth seeing.

Bend it like Beckham - Review
We think it's good that we are told something about the problems of young Indian people. The book deals with prejudices many people have about them. We can also learn much about the Indian culture. The main actor is a young Indian girl called Jess. She wants to play football in a professional girls team, but her parents don't like that because it's against their culture. She doesn't want to disappoint her parents but she attain her wishes.
The film is a good possibility for young people to realize that everybody can reach his or her aims. In our opinion it is advantageous that the film shows reality and not the science-fiction-world.
We think it's better to watch the film first and then to read the book. We don't like that the book was written after the film was already in the cinema. In our opinion Narinda Dhami could have put some new things into the book. The book is funny and dramatic at the same time and you can read it easily.
