Bend It Like Beckham (2002)
Alright, Anna, you win - Jonathan Rhys Meyers isn't always creepy. He's fun in this movie, playing an Irish soccer coach (with his real accent!) to Keira Knightley and Parminder Nagra in London. The story really follows Nagra's character Jess - a girl from a traditional Indian family whose desire to play soccer clashes with her parents' beliefs. It's a little bit fairy-taleish in that everything works out perfectly in the end, but it's an enjoyable movie, so I can forgive that.
My Netflix rating: 4 stars
