An absolute waste of money

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I couldn't care less about the arranged marriages and this film has done NOTHING for me, to change my perception.In fact, this film is bad in a worst possible way - instead of watching it and following the plot and the characters, the viewer has to endure a torture of deciding what aspect of the film was done the worst.The dialog is absolutely unrealistic ans is delivered as if it was read from the cue cards by people with bad sight (they pause before almost every sentence). The music is distractingly secondary punctuated, again, by the bad dialog. The pacing is the worst of all, though. I swear, I was ready to kill myself watching this slow bore and didn't do so, because I wanted to see how far it will go into rotten territory. Overall, I'd blame all of the faults on director. He should not be allowed before the camera ever again.The only saving grace is the acting. Again, it was pretty painful to see that the actors actually ARE GOOD, but subjected to spit out the garbage they are given.Don't bother. Really. One of the worst movies ever made. Seriously.

Kal Penn is hilarious, the first 15 minutes they show his little predicament and his acting and comedic presence is awesome, but after that the story is about Sunil Malhotra, hes that lacky from 'American desi' and his acting is horrible, the storyline is also very formula and unexciting, lisa rey is hot, but her beauty is ruined by the cliché lines she has to say ... its all very predictable, i can say as an ABCD ... but kal penn ... his 15 minutes.. great ... cant wait for 'Namesake' ... a good lisa rey movie would be 'Bollywood Hollywood' thats isn't formula, thats a good indo-American movie about the pressures of arranged marriage... rent that...

I thought this movie was hilarious... yeah it was stupid funny but i mean who doesn't like a good laugh every now and then. There were parts in the movie that dragged but i thought it was a great movie in case ur bored or genuinely want to see a good Indian/American comedy.People who are dissing this movie is because they have no sense of humor. Stop taking the culture so seriously, we all know we do some stupid things no matter where we're from. So stop hating and start appreciating that some film maker actually came and made a movie about you guyz.I would go out and rent it if i were u!...cuz then u wud be missing out on a night of pure fun.

This movie was just absolutely horrible. I live in Canada, and it cost my friends and I $5.91 to rent this movie. I wish I had bought some rat poison instead. Before I get any deeper into the movie, I want to tell everyone about the votings: there were so many 10's, I couldn't believe it. It MUST be true that they just got extras to vote. My friends and I actually FAST-FORWARDED through 2/3's of the movie because it was so crappy. Anyways: on to the movie, with obvious *******SPOILERS********* not that it matters, I would've saved you money and time.Basically, this movie has 2 separate plots: One of the Indian guy from harold and kumar being forced into an arranged marriage with a chick with braces, the other of some guy loving this girl with a very traditionally Indian father. These 2 plot lines are completely unrelated except that the main character from both plot lines are both friends and both work at a gay fashion club. (not kidding).Kumar's story line disappears halfway through the movie and I don't think we ever see him again. He just... disappears.The other guy ends up marrying the girl of his dreams.Throughout the movie, there are weird meaningless interjections. For example, in one part of the movie where the female protagonist is talking with her suppressive dad, the camera keeps panning over to this Indian show her father is watching of two guys in festive gold plating talking to each other. we literally see about 2 minutes of the show her dad is watching, while talking to her daughter in a non-chalant and far-off manner.For future reference to the people who have worked on this movie, please try to give movies a PLOT, and COHERENCE, so your audience actually knows what the hell is going on.
