Do NOT watch this movie - it's a mish mash of scenes that are randomly sown together. Wonder if any thought was put into the making of the movie. Bad script, bad direction, and even worse acting. The only saving grace is the lead actress who at least makes an attempt. Spend 90 minutes doing something else more worthwhile than watching this morning.

I did not like the movie

I don't know what the movie was trying to convey. The movie seemed to have some typical elements of an Indian immigrant experience. But rather than use those aspects to construct an interesting story it went in all different ways. Some aspects made me really cringe and it just got worse and worse. In trying to capture elements of American life and Indian life experiences and combine then in some interesting ways it just made a mess of both. I don't know if it was the bad acting or that I disliked the portrayal of the character - I just kept getting more and more irritated with the protagonist. There were a lot of similarities of the characters with my life situation and would have been enjoyable if only it had come out better.
Terrible

Misrepresentation of culture, bad screenplay, dialogues and directing. Literally forced introduction of characters, cheesy and laboured jokes and passable acting. This is a serious waste of 90 minutes - an out of place song to introduce the male lead - I gave up when Tara Ried said, "Tandoori Brad Pitt" - Lots of inconsistencies in the plot too since American tourists cannot just jump on a flight to India - they need a VISA. The most irritating actor by far is the Mom - not because of the character she is portraying but because all her dialogues are so forced. Please avoid this movie at all costs.
The worst!

Oh dear, I've never seen worse acting since our primary school play in 3rd grade! This movie is a complete cringe fest with no pause. There is literally nothing NOTHING that wasn't awful- from the story, to sets and makeup (ew caked up makeup on poor Tara Reid- speaking off, was she always this bad of an actress?) From Sonia's friend contact lenses and super bad acting, to the mother's cry and inconsistency of the story as well as the irrelevance of Tara in this whole crap show :( Just horrible!
Stay away.....

Entertaining but acting kills it

The movie was kind of entertaining but it is a bad movie.
For the most part because of acting. Some scenes I was feeling like the actors just sit there and recite their dialogue before actually filming it. The acting seems absolutely amateurish. It is almost like the mind of the actress is preoccupied with not forgetting the word "laryngeal" and there is no more energy for acting out emotions because of it. And Karishma Ahluwalia is not the worst, she is actual the better of the actors on the movie. The worst was Ohmnie Sanjiv, but it seems to be her only movie.
The entertaining part was when Sonia was looking for a potential husband. The guys and their persona's were funnily created.
The end seems to be very rushed. I am kind of surprised though that they didn't make a happy end for the operation and made it fail like it most likely would according to statistics that they gave us. Was an interesting move. In this movie it seemed like they will the girl get her voice back and become an opera singer the next day.

Not the best movie in the world but it had a good solid plot. The mother and Beatrice were annoying and not good actors. The others were OK. The mother calling her daughter and telling her to come home because her father had a stroke was funny in its execution. Over all it was a good watch.
