Like every British person, I was forced to watch this like 20 times in school. Fun! Should have been lesbians tho
Lightweight, feel good movie. Nuf said. Early Kiera Knightly as a not so believable footballer.
Much better than the average teen film. A story of love, friendship, growing up and Indian and British culture. A sweet, well told story.
Great movie if you are feeling bland or bored ;)
It's got some bollywood stars in it, some Hollywood stars and some grounded, realistic romance.
I will be forever be devastated that the two girls didn't end up together. Great movie
A heartwarming sports comedy, blending cultural nuances with dreams and determination, creating an engaging and uplifting narrative.
Its Okay, because you can watch it with anyone!
Feel like this started a whole new genre of teen movies. Liked it when it came out, but I don't know if it's stood the test of time.
Fun teenage movie! Enjoyed it back then, still do today... Cast and characters are great and play well together!
