Just watched Bend It Like Beckham.

Thoughts:

- Really liked it
- Keira Knightley is waaay too skinny.
- Really liked the main character (whose name I can't figure out how to spell)
- Are Indian families really like that? My roommate's didn't seem like that...

i absolutely *loved* _Bend It Like Beckham_!!!! yes, this is the time for extra !!! marks. i watched it once in the theater and once at home and would have watched it again,....except that i couldn't find any more people to watch it with me. =P btw, i love indian music. i don't know if you noticed it (you should have!) in the film, but it's absolutely amazing. also, i agree....the wedding was gorgeous. and, in general, indian guys are soooo cute. although in this movie, i fell for the character joe. his irish accent is quite sexy. overall, i found the movie to be very entertaining. i have some indian friends at school, and from what they've mentioned, the more traditional families tend to pressure their children to marry within their circle. has to do with culture/religion/language (sometimes). one girl i know has grandparents that even prefer to marry within her class and subclass. we both agreed that it would be highly unlikely for her to find someone like that in the US.

Yeah Joe was cute ^_^. Although I keep thinking his name is Simon for some reason! THe guy just looks like a Simon, I swear. I also think it's kind of sad Keira Knightley's all famous now while the Indian girl is not, because I really relaly liked her. I want to go watch all the other Bollywood musicals now.
