Still a treat after 20 years. I took this disc out to review the added feature when Gurinder Chadha makes aloo gobi with her mother and aunt watching in restaurant kitchen in Soho. Not everyone know how to cook aloo gobi, contrary to the line voiced by the lead. ( )

Quotations
Mrs. Paxton: I saw Kevin on the high street with a blonde girl and it didn't look like they weren't talking about match of the bleedin' day either!
Jules: Kevin can shag whoever he bloody wants!
Mrs. Paxton: Honey, all I'm saying is there is a reason why Sporty Spice is the only one of them without a fella.
Jess: Anyone can cook aloo Gobi, but who can bend a ball like Beckham?
Pinky: Who is he, then?
Jess: Who?
Pinky: You must think I've got shit for brains, lying about a job and that!
Jess: Don't tell Mum and Dad. I kept Teet a secret for you.
Pinky: He's not a Muslim, is he?
Jess: Ssh! I've been playing football for a women's team.
Pinky: Huh? It's worse than I thought!
Jess: It's a tournament with real matches!
Pinky: What is wrong with you, Jess? At least lie for something good! Don't you want a boyfriend like everyone else? You're quite pretty you know. Do your hair, some make-up, you'd look all right.
Jess: Kissing? Me? A boy?! You're mad, you're all bloody mad!
Wedding camera man: Eyes down! Look sad! Don't smile! Indian brides never smile. You'll ruin the bloody video!
