Comment
An Asian teenage girl (Parminder Nagra) joins a football team without telling her family. She then falls for the team coach (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), which upsets her friend (Keira Knightly) who is in the football team and has encouraged her to play football despite her families opposition. This is a great feel good comedy of the clash of cultures in Britain and how teenagers deal with it.
