Best movie of this year hands down!

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

This is not a movie to watch on TV ( unless you recorded it(. There are so many scenes you need to cut through ( and a few to go back to) it is not funny. It's about two different people Priya from India and Granger from the United States who first meet when when he calls a call center after his credit card was used illegally. She flies to San Francisco to meet him and lies about who she is. Spoilers ahead; It is the usual boy meets girl boy loses girl boy gets girl back. What is interesting is the lesson in the movie about taking Chances. Granger never takes a chance in life: He tells a story how his best friend ( and business partner) Charie are at summer camp and only Charlie has the guts to go across the river to the girls side and meets a 14 year old girl who he says he will marry. Then a decade later on a date sees her and drops the date for that same girl and marries her. Granger is more popular then Charlie but never gets what he really wants in life. There is a scene where Charlie tells Granger " Do you know your problem is? You never put yourself out there, never take a chance, and do not let people know who you really are. at the end of the movie, he finally takes a chance and flies 18 hours to India for Priya, on the slim chance she did not get married ( she was engaged when they met). It turns out she did not get married because she fell in love with Granger and would not make her fiancé happy. She risked turning her family against her. Especially her father who was a strict Hindi businessman. But her father loves Priya and when the fiance's father called her a tramp, he stood up for Priya especially noting "Above all this is my daughter and I love her." At the end Granger and Priya end up together. Her father is especially impressed when he said " I will give your daughter all the love and respect that she deserves." He gives his approval when he offers some tortilla looking bread and has him sit down with the family. Meaning Granger has been accepted into the family. 5/10 Stars mostly to look at Priya ( she is hot and adorable at the same time) and for the ending.

I am not normally a fan of romantic comedy, but it was St Valentine's Day! So I thought it might be a movie to watch with my husband. We thoroughly enjoyed it and I am surprised that there were not higher ratings. Sit back and enjoy this movie for what it is, a fun romantic comedy, where love conquers all over obstacles across cultural lines.You will find yourself laughing along when recognizing familiar traits and the human condition as portrayed in another culture. Yes, it is farcical in places, and unrealistic in others, but if you have had any connection to any parts of these worlds, (advertising, call centers, clients) then there is more than a grain of truth to the story line.

OH! My WORD! Okay two things people, two things! Any movie that centers itself on an Indian woman trying to pass herself off as a White woman (is off to the wrong start) unless Julia Roberts is the actress playing the Indian woman trying to be White. Mia Sara did such a great job in Queenie and it was very believable.Secondly, any movie that deals with Indians complaining about the effects of American outsourcing, is also off in the wrong direction. The movie combines both disastrous elements, with disastrous results. Jesse Metcalfe co-stars. Ugh!

This is an old formula for a romantic comedy, but if it is done well, it is still enjoyable to watch. It is nice to have something to watch which is relaxing after seeing some of the tense thrillers I also like to watch.The one thing that bugged me about this movie is the girl works as a tech support phone operator in India for an American company. Her big advantage is that she can sound "American" and people don't know she is in India. Why does that bug me? Because it reminds me of the thousands of jobs that have been outsourced to other countries for cheap labor at a time when our country is in the biggest recession since the 30s. It was hard for me to be sympathetic to the characters when in the back of my mind, I kept thinking of the "outsourcing" problem.I did like the actors.
