Improves on the book's germ of an idea
11 March 2009
Is there anyone more lovable acting asinine than Eleanor Tomlinson? Jas, her character, lights up the screen thanks to the efforts of an actress doggedly fixated with the material. She may not descend from Beyond Bonkerdom or even the Valley of Thick within the strict rules of the Ace Gang's legislation, but there is much to admire in a character who plays thick period, rather than just for the moment. I hope to see more of Tomlinson if director Gurinder "Bend It Like Beckham" Chadha receives the financial backing for a sequel. I want to spend more time in the company of these characters - I'm almost demanding another movie given the fact this one never got a release in the United States. It's the best film of its genre since 2005's "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" because there is a caring attribute towards the characters, especially the leading quartet, and what pleasure it is to see the development of young girls growing, legitimately, into young women within such short boundaries.
