THE ROLE Soccer-loving Jules, who befriends and recruits a promising new teammate (Parminder Nagra), then falls out with her over the affections of their coach (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers)
WHAT EW SAID Owen Gleiberman: ''Made with a craftsmanship and pizzazz that restores your appreciation for honest commercial moviemaking, Bend It Like Beckham puts a new definition of femininity on screen, casual and cool and in your face.''
