This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Unbelievable!this film gets a 7 out 0f 10. This has to be one of the worst films i have seen in years. not only was the acting incredibly bad, the storyline (if you can call it that) was just as bad. Offcourse everyone knows what's going to happen within the first 5 minutes. Which is not a bad thing if you can captivate the audience during leading up to that moment. That however, is not the case. There is no action, no suspense, not even a spark between the 2 leading actors. It was unfortunately a waste of my time, and certainly a waste of my money. and the 2 of merely for trying

This is authentic love at its best. Hollywood meets Bollywood in this cross-culture, cross-continent dreamy love story. Filled with lavish color and sharp wit, My Bollywood Bride takes us on a tour of exotic India to find love between two kindred spirits. If you miss boy meets girl, true romance type of passion, you will find it between Kashmira Shah and Jason Lewis within this film.Supporting characters like Ash Chandler and Gulshan Grover provide the classic style of a Hollywood romantic comedy, while beauties like Kashmira, Neha Dubey and Madhuri Bhatia shine presenting the luxurious elegance of a Bollywood musical.This is a heartfelt film.

"My Bollywood Bride" is a very cute and entertaining "Sunday night-feel good" movie which I've just seen it at the Indian Arts Council Film Festival in NY this weekend! It's a "fish out of water" story filled with cute scenes and dialogs starting in Venice Beach and ending at the diner table of Reena's house in India. Some of the dancing scenes are intense, powerful, fun to look at and I was in particular struck by the choice of beautiful Indian wardrobe and the intensity of some of Mumbai's street scenes well captured by the cinematographer John Drake. Nice production value! Although, I personally would have wished to see more of those Venice Beach scenes.Some of the performances are outstanding. Just to look at Kashmera Shah as Reena, she who looks like as beauty from another planet. Her dancing and acting throughout the feature are just marvelous and provides the audience with a great inside look into the capability of some of Bollywood's top A-list actors. Other excellent performances such as the riksha driver and Alex' new best friend in India are played so well that you will just have to fall in love with them! Also a very notable screen- and dance performance by Neha Dubey. I've heard some (girls) say that Jason Lewis looks even better in this cute flick than he did in "Sex in the City"...A "must-see" not only for independent or Bollywood film fans - but for everyone!

I didn't expect much when I saw this at the Palm Springs Film Fest this weekend. It was an alternate choice when two other films were sold out. Still, I held out hope. It sounded a bit much like "Bride and Prejudice" (L.A. guy falls for an Indian beauty, parental conflict, blah blah blah). B&P was not perfect but it was an enjoyable film with some good laughs and likable characters."My Bollywood Bride" had none of that. The acting seemed stilted and way to by-the-numbers. Characters were so cliché the story seemed like it could have been written by high school freshman drama student. Technically, the sound really bothered me. It seemed as if there was a lot of over-dubbing of dialogue. I mean a lot. I know sometimes it's necessary but it sounded like half the film was shot in a closet and it became very distracting.Two stars is being somewhat generous.
