Bend it like Beckham
Teenager Jess does not want to end up with a boring life, she want’s to become a football player like David Beckham. So she joins a football team called Hounslow Harries without her parents finding out with the help of her new friend Jules. She goes to tournaments and her talent is discovered but needs to keep her parents happy by giving up football, attending her sisters wedding and becoming a successful solicitor. However her father is very understanding and allows Jess to follow her dream.
The best bits
My favourite bits are when Jess’ mum say’s who wants to cook Aloo Gobi? also when Jess is playing football in the kitchen while her mum is making food, also when the coach said where do you play and she said in the park but he meant which position.
Favourite characters
My favourite character is Jess’ mum because she is a traditional Asian mum who’s hilarious.
