Okay, before you judge, i have netflix, so i watch random movies. Do not watch Bend it like Beckham. I know you like it Chris, and i would like to know why...
SPOILER ALERT:
do not read the following if you 1) have not seen the movie and think you will like it or 2) have not seen the movie and care what its about
Basically, its about an indian girl from england, who wants to play soccer but her parents dont approve. So, she plays any way on a team that keira knightingly is on, and they are friends, they both love their coach joe, and he loves jess not jules (kiera knightlys character). Jules mom thinks she is a lesbian. They both want to go to college and play for the WUSA which is the womens soccer league in the US. Oh yeah, there is a something about jess's sister getting married. you can guess the ending.
First of all, what was with the gay guy. Jess's friend Tony is supposedly gay. In the beginning he was totally ungay, and wore sporty clothes and talked without a lisp.Then after he told Jess he was gay, he started talking different and wearing shirts that belong in The Tog Shop catalog. Then, he said he did fancy Jess, which I take to mean like in a sexual way, and but he doesnt want to marry her....wait what?
Then, he says he will marry her, so Jess can go to college in Santa Clara, and she says no. Why didnt she just marry the poor boy, so he would have to tell his mom he REALLY likes david beckham.
2nd, what was with when Tony and the boys were in the stadium, and Jess's dad comes to the game...even though he is mad. he sits like 2 rows away from Tony et al, and they never notice...and he doesnt notice them....then of course, her dad is at the game, so jess brawls with some random girl who called her a racist name.
Jules mom is a stupid character...she thinks she is a "lesbo" cuz she has short hair, plays soccer, and hangs out with jess. Um, yeah okay, is this movie from like 40s?
I actually didnt completely hate it...it was funny at times, and had a vague plot. I didnt get why the sister was having sex in a car a bunch of times. There were stupid things, like the sisters weddign was on the same day as the finals (OMG) and the coach was lame.
Anyone else see it?
