Bend it Like Beckham
If you're 18, love Beckham and can bend a ball like him then the world must be your oyster, right? Wrong. If you're Jess - 18, Indian and a girl - forget it. Jess just wants to play football but her wedding-obsessed parents have other ideas so she hides it from them. But when Jess and her friend Jules join a ladies team and get spotted by a talent scout, it all kicks off ... The Bend it Like Beckham movie was a box-office hit, starring Parminder Nagra, Kiera Knightley and Jonathathan Rhys Meyers. Bend it Like Beckham was also transformed into a musical, and was performed in London's West End.

** spoiler alert ** It wasn’t bad nor was it absolutely breath taking. I am not a big fan of football and I didn’t like the Idea of Jess and Joe being together, but I liked the ending and I am happy for her that it all turned out in her favour. I am very disappointed that Jules wasn’t the love interest of Jess because they would have made such a cute pair. Still it was a big back and forth all the time with the secretly playing football, getting caught and playing football again. Definitely wouldn’t have read it if I didn’t have to for school but I liked the diversity and all in all it was okay.
