WRITER-DIRECTOR Gurinder Chadha turns the tables with this comedy about a young Asian girl trying to emulate her sporting hero.

The parents of teenager Jess (Parminder Nagra) want her to dress differently, to learn how to cook traditional Indian food, and to marry a respectable young man, just like her soon-to-be-wed older sister Pinky (Panjabi).

However she is far more passionate about playing football, and is asked her friend Jules (Keira Knightley) to join the local women's team the Hounslow Harriers.

They've both got the skill to make it but Jess's parents feel otherwise and ban her from training.

The usual jokes you would expect any 'Asian' comedy to have are there and sometimes they do go over the top. Basically to make the movie more accessible to non-Asian audiences.

Anupam Kher and Goodness Gracious Me's Kulwinder Ghir also star in the movie which is sure to be hit here because if nothing else there's football in it.

The film is released on April 12th.
