Enjoyable and funny, but there's not that much to it.

A sweet chapter in the life of a young girl battling to identify with her roots and environment, although it never reaches the heights that Bend It Like Beckham achieves.

It's a british comedy. Therefore it's 1 got hilarious comedy accents. 2 got hilarious 70s fashions. 3 got "affectionate" racial stereotypes. 4 got an utterly predictable script. 5 shite. Sorry, I mean "shoyt".

Some really funny stuff in here but also so awkward bits. Nice to watch if you just need something light to occupy your mind while you are ill.
