Storyline

Take a joyride with Neal (Uday Chopra) and Nikki (Tanisha) as they travel all across Canada to find what they want most. Neal just wants what all guys want - to have a deep, meaningful relationship, full of conversation and shopping - NOT. For him it is pretty simple - Canada is full of hot women, and he has that little "lost boy" charm that they love so much. So if they want to take him home, and cuddle him - well why should HE complain? After all he has just 21 days before he has to waves farewell to his bachelor life. LIVE IT UP. It's a little more complex with Nikki - First there is Trish, then there are all these jobs she keeps quitting and then there's the fact that - Well, she's hot, she is sexy, so why not have some fun? She's going to do whatever she wants to do - so everyone out of her way. In a journey that takes them all over British Columbia in Canada, they both begin to realize that maybe what they were looking for was sitting right next to them, all this time. But hey -...

User Reviews

when was the last time i wanted to run amidst a movie

Yash Chopra movies- the flavoring was long lost. Story - I was not expecting anything fresh. Direction - Refer to the first line. Cinematography - How much can you rely on the background to take you through hours of ruthless time killing!

Tanisha is too loud and exaggerated to thicken a weak plot. Uday Chopra is more than just disappointing.

Pre-marital sex is an over-talked issue which went looking too naive for the duo to pull it off well. Everything else about the story is too repetitive and too cliché to make any prominent difference to the movie , which starts stumbling in the first few minutes.

Songs seem to have been hummed too much. Lyrics are not worth getting tuned.

If there is any high point in the movie, may be its just the scenic beauty but then i would rather pay a hefty amount and visit Britain than spend hours watching a sad attempt at romance!

The freshness and the feel good effect of the yesteryear Yash Chopra mushy flicks have lost their color and charm in the crowd of new comers expecting the costly sets and the music set up to help them climb the ladders of fame!

It doesn't work anymore!
