I just finished watching the movie Bend it Like Beckham, which was pretty mediocre. The only reason I mention it is that one of the deleted scenes was the most interesting part of the movie. One of the main characters is engaged and her future-in-laws break off the wedding. While she is upset and grieving, she says, "I should never have slept with him." Then she goes on to say they're probably out looking for a virigin for the guy to marry. It is interesting that in a movie that portrays homosexuality in a good light and lying to your parents as a normal (although not terribly effective) action. It is sad and interesting that they took out the one scene that had any real meaning in it.
