    It is a good movie for a one time watch. However, it was a hard watch with that British accent...
  • Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
    Really well made film, considering the small budget. Can see why it made nearly 15x that at the box office.

    HORRIBLE! One of the worst movies I'll ever seen.
  • Rating: 0.5 out of 5 stars
    Far too long of a movie. Terrible plot and now terribly outdated.
  • Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
    This is a generational classic that hits home on so many levels. The Re-Watch value in this film is ever present.

    This soccer movie was great. Parminder Nagra, Keira Knightley, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Archie Panjabi, Anupam Kher, Juliet Stevenson, Frank Harper, and the rest of the cast did a great job in this movie. This story about two teenage girls wanting to play professional soccer against their parents wishes was dramatic and inspirational. It's about fighting for what you want to do with your life and not end up like your parents. If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out sometime. It's worth watching.

    Better than I thought! I had no expectations and no idea what this film was about going into it. But it's super cute! A nice way to introduce Indian culture to someone unfamiliar with it. All of the characters were fun. A good, fun, heartwarming movie with a little cheese on top.

    How are these punters such good storytellers? Like all of them! David's parents, friends. I enjoyed the pointed intention to juxtapose opposing opinions and recollections from the cast. Overall It's fun to watch but also appalling to learn what they went through. Im not a footie so it's always headscrathing the fanaticism of some nations--but especially UK--with it. I also thought England's fascination with David and his family was simply that, an English thing. Had no idea they used the poor guy as a scapegoat for all the ills of their country. No wonder he moved to LA. I'm starting to think the English are awful!
