| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 30, 2006

There's not a whole lot of heft to von Scherler Mayer's romantic comedy with ethnic Indian entanglements; it's like overdone naan, too flaky and ephemeral for its own good, but still somehow appetizing.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 10, 2003

A precipitous comedic falloff in the third quarter earns the film a qualified recommendation at best.

Full Review | Feb 14, 2003

With a reach that frequently falls short, higher wit and sexual sophistication crumble into plain old silliness.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 14, 2003

A trifle, a silly one at that, but it's a charming trifle that's hard to resist.

Full Review | Original Score: B | Feb 14, 2003

The movie offers up too many airy spiritual lessons in the hope of crossing from farce to sentiment.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 14, 2003

A mixed-up masala saved only partly by a charismatic cast.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 14, 2003

A joyous genre-blender guaranteed to crank up your karma.

Full Review | Feb 14, 2003

Delightful screwball comedy.

| Feb 7, 2003

It's as if somebody dropped three bad scripts on the floor of a production office, and somebody else picked up the pages in random order and said, 'Let's make a movie out of this! And let's get Heather Graham to star!'

Full Review | Feb 3, 2003

Works better than it probably should thanks mainly to a ready-for -anything lead performance by the ridiculously charismatic Jimi Mistry and equally game performances from an amusing supporting cast including Heather Graham and Marisa Tomei.

Full Review | Feb 3, 2003

Agreeable and slipshod in equal fashion.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 31, 2003

It feels like an upstart indie, thanks to its original script, endearing performances, colourful aesthetic, uplifting soundtrack, parodic undertones and the compelling theme of ethnic assimilation.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 31, 2003

Mistry and co-star Heather Graham lend a fetching naivete to their characters.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 31, 2003

As a satire of charismatic cult movements, Tracey Jackson's screenplay merely toys with the possibilities.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 31, 2003

There is hardly a funny line in the whole script, and director Mayer has no idea of what comic timing and delivery are all about.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 31, 2003

It's goofy enjoyment that will have you humming Grease tunes the rest of the day.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 31, 2003

If the film is true to the high spirits and vulgarity of Bollywood (and reasonably authentic in its depiction of Indian speech), it's also true to the crude plotting and characterization all too common in Bollywood.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 31, 2003

It's better than it sounds.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 30, 2003

The bizarre outcome of this nervy conceptual hybrid is a movie that plays stylistic hopscotch as it jumps from one square to the next, teetering perilously each time it lands on one quaking ankle.
