Teenage Dreams • Teenage dreams are the dreams that kids dream of during their teenage years and they seem to be pretty much the same for the majority of teenagers. • Teenage dreams are different for boys and girls for example most guys would want a nice sports car while girls would want to date someone like a member of One Direction or Justin Beiber. • This movie is focused on girls and their dreams

3. Teenage Dreams - Football • Both Jules and Jess have an unusual dream for a girl: being a professional football player. • Implies that the gender boundaries are stretching and overlapping.

4. Teenage Dreams - Beckham • Jules and Jess have both chosen David Beckham as their idol and the two main reasons are that he is exceptionally good at football and that he is good-looking. • This could be a typical teenage dream for a girl if they only liked him because he is attractive but the girls are also inspired by his football skills which is again unusual but the modern world is coming to accept it.
