I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Bad portrayal of Indians and our culture.. Kunal is the biggest disappointment in this movie. Some senseless dialogs. Unnecessary use of filthy language and inappropriate comical timing that ain't funny at all. Wasted 100 minutes of my sleep time!Bad portrayal of Indians and our culture..

Pleasantly surprised with the direction of this crossover movie! A light-hearted comedy portraying the challenges faced by immigrants when they arrive to Canada. The Big Bang Theory's Kunal Nayyar provides continuous laughter and Virmani plays the most significant role of Dr. Deepak Chopra, a newly landed immigrant who's forced to drive a cab even though he has a medical degree. Making the best of his situation he combines his education and practice with his current job and turns out to be a local hero! This hilarious comedy indirectly focuses on raising awareness about a serious issue in a comedic manner. A solid 4/5!Pleasantly surprised with the direction of this crossover movie!

Pleasingly comical cinematic ride with appealing characters, snappy dialogue and an issue that will resonate with audiences.Dr. Cabbie does something interesting. It takes a rather serious subject — the fact that immigrants bring vital skills to Canada that are cruelly wasted — and milks the issue for its comic possibilities. It does so in a cheeky and charming way and, although Dr. Cabbie is clunky in places, it mostly works.Much credit resides with the star, Vinay Virmani, who came up with the story and co-wrote the screenplay.Virmani plays Deepak, who immediately upon graduating from medical school in India, packs up his mom and moves to Toronto to stay with Uncle Vijay (who actually lives in Mississauga) with the expectation of starting a medical practice in the so-called "land of opportunity."Reality and disillusion quickly set in when it becomes clear the door is firmly closed and Deepak soon finds himself slumming it as a cabbie, along with a lot of overqualified people from other parts of the world.

At Last

This film has a predictable plot and the stereotypes are all alive and well here: Indian, white, Italian, the Canadian medical system, and, oh yes, let's all laugh at the fat girl who seeks love. There are a few laughs but not enough of them. The pluses? Vinay Virmani's 'Deepak Chopra' is likable and charming. Kunal Nayyar has some good moments as Tony, a fellow cabbie. The love interest Adrianne Palicki is, well, tall. The rest of the cast seems a bit overwrought although Mircea Monroe has one of the few genuinely funny turns as Deepak's Ghandi-spouting, exotic dancing, yoga-infused white 'auntie'. The film includes some Bollywood-style music sequences. And his fans may be surprised that Kunal Nayyar is a pretty good rapper. But the few funny moments in this film can't carry the rest of the cliché fest.
