I saw this one when a friend d/l it, and I LOOOOVED it! I didn't stop smiling for a half hour after the end, and from peoples' reviews online, it sounds like almost everybody else didn't, either.
It's British, so I don't know how easily available it is over here, but I know people have seen it here, cause some of the reviews were by Americans.
It is about an Indian girl, 18, who lives for soccer (football to them), and her struggle to play, while not letting down her very traditional family. That is the very simplified explanation. It has a lot more to it, but it gets really involved trying to explain it! LOL
It is really funny, and ends really nice, and for good measure, the love interest, her coach, played by Jonathan Rhys-Meyer, is HOT, which is a great bonus, though the movie would have been just as good without him! He is just icing on the cake, LOL!
Anyway, if you come across it, watch it! I promptly burned myself a copy, so I will have it for keeps, cause I loved it so much! LOL
