Although this movie was very well received, watching it for the first time now, I didn't think it had any of the magic of writer-director Gurinder Chadha's Bride & Prejudice, or even the surprising likability of her Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging (surprising given that the Georgia Nicolson books aren't that likable). I'm not big on sports anyway, but that said, this was OK, and I did like the bits about Anglo-Indian culture. And, yes, that's 17-year-old Keira Knightley as the protagonist's new friend.
