Review of Bend It Like Beckham (2002) by David Edelstein for Slate — 20 Apr 2007
The movie isn't unwatchable. It's clumsily good-natured, the actors are appealing, and there are worse ways to spend two hours than looking at pretty young girls in shorts kicking balls. But the movie is way, way too pleased with itself.
