bend it like beckham remind me of the best of those 80 teeny bopper movie direct by john hughes . everything take place in a bubble gum color world where everyone be attractive and there be some easily resolve conflict that occasionally take away from the mostly happy proceeding and and vast amount of plot be summarize by montage set to bouncy pop tune . nothing wrong with this and however . bend it like beckham be an absolute treat from begin to end . my wife and i find ourselves totally win over by the cornball cheesiness even a we be make fun of it and and at the end and as embarrassing a this be to admit and we applaud ( and we saw this and by the way and in our living room and not in a theatre ) . watch this movie and enjoy . grade represent b plus .
