Review:
This wonderful film, about two English girls who love soccer, was a great success in England and Europe. One girl is of Indian descent and as she gets older playing soccer, or any sport, is prohibited. She tries to follow her passion and modernize her parents. The other girl is English and her mother thinks that all she should be doing is wearing dresses and dating. Luckily, her father is on her side. The two girls have graduated and are playing on a summer league, but dream of a future in soccer after high school. The way they work through parental problems and find success for themselves presents a great story for young girls. There is some strong language and sexual content, but it is outweighed by good values.
