    "Bend it like Beckham" - the Swedes have it right :)

    Films often get renamed in Sweden, sometimes as there isn't a direct translation and sometimes because they have an alternative word for the same thing/action.

    Thus, I was amused to see the DVD of the (rather cruddy) film for sale "Bend it like Beckham" with its Swedish title "Skruv den som Beckham".

    This translates to "Screw it like Beckham"... at least I'm assuming it's the same film...
