Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
BreannaBaker This movie was so good! I absolutely loved it. The lead actor and actress did an amazing job. The story is relative to that of every girl's dream. This would be a great movie for a girl's movie night. Have you ever met someone online or over the phone, and wondered "what if?". This movie completely plays to the fantasy in a cleverly cute and funny way. If you're like me at all, you will completely fall in love with the characters and the story. I love that this girl is doing the job that she loves, goes with her gut, and goes after what she wants in life. She's cute, caring, fun, sassy, excited, and more. The characters they came up with for this movie are just as interesting as the story itself. I would really love to see more work by the lead actress!
Hunky Stud Sometimes when you watch a movie, you shouldn't be too serious. After all, not everything can happen in real life. I liked this movie because of the good chemistry between the two leading actors, and those romantic scenes.There were some problems. For example, can Indian citizens get visas to the USA so easily? If that is the case, there would be a lot of Indians coming to the USA now. Second, can Granger actually ask to meet a girl without even seeing her pictures first? After all, he can just ask her to send him a picture via the email. Third, the speech Granger gave at his friend's wedding just doesn't sound real. And he stopped talking and had to rush to the airport right away, that is not what a normal person will do. Fourth, the whole call center people stopped working while they talk, and the whole group clapped their hands when they kissed. That is just unreal.I have seen a few Indian and US movies, it seems that those movies are always about marriage. Indian daughters want to find some nice husbands who live in the USA to marry to. Anyway, I enjoyed watching this movie despite a few blemishes.
sharanjeetpaul I was entertained from beginning to end, which is all I asked for. So I give it 10 stars. The main characters were very well developed. I do think they should have brought up more about the daughter making more than her father. And why did Granger go back for her at the end? Because he loved her or wanted to marry her? Long distance relationship....I don't know.... Indian family probably wouldn't go for it either. They should have made the relationship seem stronger from his end as well. But overall, fun to watch. Very sweet movie, especially for interracial couples. Kind of like Bend It Like Beckham, without the sports, and with a hotter guy.
timebarrier I really can't figure out why people have rated this movie so low, at least as yet. I won't say that the movie was exceptionally good in acting or directing or screenplay or whatever. But, on a whole, the movie did quite well in doing what it was meant for. Its a simple romantic comedy with a dream romance between an Indian girl and an American guy and it scored pretty well there. Some of the moments with Anupam Kher were really very very hilarious. Though, I would say that at some points the movie lifted up from reality and went into the ideal state. But, then again, romantic movies are usually like that only.I liked the movie to give it a decent 7/10. I'd suggest that you go and watch the movie, it'll be a real fun to watch!!!
