We watched Bend It Like Beckham last night.
It was a cute, silly movie. I wouldn’t say it was fabulously done, but it was fun for an evening of mindless entertainment.
And a source of endless quotable quotes, best said in silly, silly accents.
“Look, all I’m saying is, there’s a reason that Sporty Spice is the only one of them without a fella.”
“One of our saris will make even these mosquito bites look like, juicy, juicy mangoes!”
“No, Jess. I really like Beckham.”
“What Indian family will want a girl who can kick a football around all day but can’t make round chapatis?!”
(We’re planning lots of evenings of mindless entertainment to recover
from this past semester, by the way. If you have any suggestions . . .
)

We enjoyed that one too!
If you liked Bend it Like Beckham, you might also like Bride and Prejudice. Or Monsoon Wedding- we really liked that one! Have fun!
You might also want to check out My Big, Fat, Greek Wedding.
If you like foreign films, the Israeli film “Ushpizim” (with English subtitles) can be had at Netflix. It is a modern retelling of the legend “K’tantan” and has many memorably funny lines.
And the one that makes us ROTFL is “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.”
Best in Show=funny.
I can tell by the quotes you shared…you would love Best in Show.
