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.

There's good support too, especially from Kathy Burke, who steals the film with a short, under-stated burst of classy acting in a key scene ...

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

This is London

There's nothing for us to buy into here, and impatience sets in pretty quick. On a fundamental level, it's hard to understand just how Syal hopes for us to identify with her protagonist.
