Bend it like Beckham.: I don't know what to make of this movie. Is this like "Monsoon Wedding" meets "Shaolin Soccer"? Any one of our English Spo-Fiers seen this? Any good football in here? Is Beckham in it? Any all-out Bollywood dancing?

It's a terrible girly film about relationships, and crap even in that context. Avoid it. It's horrible and embarrassing. The girl is watchable though.

I can see now why SF is always getting laid. And why you Birmingham fans are such an unhappy, blue-balled bunch. Hahahahahahahahaha.

It's a lot like "East is East" if you've seen that one.

I haven't seen it, but my parents saw it in the theatre in Toronto a while back and said it was very good. They aren't big soccer fans, but they said it was a fun movie. It's on my "rent someday" list.

I own Shaolin Soccer on DVD...fucking great film! Every soccer fan should see it! Every non-soccer fan doesn't deserve to see it.

Not seen it, so can't comment. So what the fuck I'm doing here is beyond me.
