Excellent movie! I just saw it with my gf(due to her urging). I was surprised, at first glance I thought it would be a chick flick...I mean 2 girls in england that play soccer and try to go pro...

I was pleasantly surprised though. It was the best comedy I've seen in a long time. Pretty clean and mature. Well put together, multidimensional, and just plain entertaining.

And yeah there seems to be some gratuitous locker room and running in sprinkler scenes.

I swear to god I've seen this movie 500 times, it just had a different title and actors... I don't see what all the hype is about.

I likd it a lot. The main character's friend was rather tasty

I know my company (AXA) spent some cash to sponsor something in that movie. I hope a lot of people saw it and will now give me their money

Well the sports success idea is hardly groundbreaking. What made it was the traditional indian culture aspect of it. Just really funny. And yeah, holy shit that blonde was hot.

I thought it was pretty funny. Not great.. but I was able to watch it a few times before I got sick of it. Gotta agree with Doos and Radio Monk33.. the blonde chick was great.

yeah, good movie. nothing ground breaking, but it doesn't have to be. Much better made movie than most out there.
