Pluskylang Great Film overall

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Kirpianuscus a nice film. in a surprising manner. because it has the subtle and wise science to be more than part of a specific genre. because it propose a seductive, colorful and charming - in its dramatic significance - story.because the cultural clash has adorable nuances. because it is a story about love and traditions and influences and the good son in middle of huge crisis. and because one of the seductive characters is ... the spirit of Cary Grant made by a surprising actor. so, a good choice for the viewer looking for a seductive film. and the real gift remains the end. so, see it !

adam-alexander What a charming, insightful, tender coming-of age story. The idea of Cary Grant as the invisible childhood friend who survives to adulthood is tremendously clever - but the entire convention exists, I think, for Cary's final scene when Alim let's him go. To layer Alim's farewell to childhood, including forgiving his mother's abandonment of him, and his acceptance of the harsher truths of adulthood-including Giles' infidelity- with Cary's inability to live as a open gay man is nothing short of brilliant. So subtle. So tender. Few gay films possess this kind of nuance. This is also the story of Alim's mother's coming-of-age as well. Although touched by life's darker side through the early death of her husband, the realization that London was not ready for an Indian Doris Day, and the guilt of leaving her child, she experiences, first hand, the same emotions that Alim experiences - including the desire to hide reality and lie to family members. Her release from that web, due, in large part, to the warmth and character of Giles, allows her to literally, dance again.

moviemaster There has always been the shock of the bride/bridegroom, movie genre. In this country, "Guess who's coming to dinner?" stands out. But this plot is well nuanced in the discovery that not all is as it appears and why should the "successful" son of one sister get all the accolades when he's a hypocrite and the other sister's son is the real thing, but "comes out?" In highly ordered societies and ones that defend their customs at all costs, the idea of having a gay son is an anathema. America is still trying to get over the stigma and those of the religious right wing have not nor will they anytime soon. Some people may be surprised that Muslims can be gay. Some were surprised that a pope could be Polish. The thread of human nature runs through all of mankind...it doesn't stop with WASPs. One aspect of the movie which was very pleasing was its confronting the viewer with how strongly movies can influence us. The protagonist's mother moved to London to become the Indian Doris Day. Her son has envisioned an angel in the form of Cary Grant to help himself through the rigors of being gay. It's apropos. The acting was good and the plot, although threadbare, did have a few twists that pleased. But probably the most exceptional performance was given by MacLachlin who caught the exact intonation, inflection and cadence of Cary Grant"s voice. It was remarkable.

be_xtra_ordinary Both gay, acting so nice. And Kristen......u r amazing. Is there anybody know how to contact him? is he married or what? How old is he, does he have any website that I can visit? That's all because i'm so amaze with Kristen, I don't know what's wrong with him, but i'm so so so attracted to him. The idea is good, but I'm not agree with gay. I think it would be nice if the story change with normal ending, which is mean, the gay men meet their truelove that female not male. By the way, I like Kristen Holden-Reid, I'm desperately want to see him or at least got all information about him. PLease,,,,show me how to contact him, is there anybody could help me with these things?
