Summary: Very funny movie
Review: This movie is a hillarious collision of Grease, a Bollywood musical, and Orgazmo (an action comedy by Trey Parker). If you like the above, you'll like this.

Summary: Extremely laughable spoof
Review: This movie lived up to all my expectations.
It is incredibly stupid, with a laughable plot, and spoofs everything from the porn industry, to musicals, to religion, to Bollywood, to the American Dream.
I LOVED IT !A young man from India, played by Jimi Mistry, influenced since childhood by American musicals, especially "Grease", is seduced by the promise of wealth in America, but finds the dream somewhat elusive when he finally arrives. Stereotypically, he lives in an apartment with three other men, and works as a waiter in an ethnic restaurant. When this doesn't pan out, he makes an unremarkable non-entry to the porn industry, and meets the porno queen with the heart of gold, brilliantly portrayed by Heather Graham, who teaches him her version of the mysticism of sex. Luckily, he accidentally makes contact with another set of stereotypes - rich, bored Americans seeking mystical solutions to their unfulfilled lives, and thanks to the power of alcohol, becomes the next Sex Guru, spouting the teachings of Sharona the porn queen. Marisa Tomei, as Lexi, a rich girl seeking spiritual gratification, carries her part very well, to the point of looking skeletally anorexic. Christine Baranski's lifted face is frightening to behold, but plays the warm, loving, maternal figure to perfection. (Just kidding) The dance numbers are a violent clash of East and West, bringing the choreography of Indian movies to an all time low. There should have been A LOT MORE of them. Singing and dancing can make true Indian screen productions last up to 3 hours, and this movie was just too short. As the plot would have it, people are not always what they seem, and both the Porn Queen and her good red-haired Catholic fiance, unbelievably named Rusty, are living double lives. Of course, the hero and heroine fall in love, leading to a strange and surreal ending. Highly recommended to the irreverent.

Summary: I laughed, I smiled, I enjoyed it.
Review: This movie made me laugh and smile more than any movie I've seen the last couple years. It's total fluff; but it's good natured, upbeat approach made it irresistable viewing. Part screwball comedy and part movie musical sendup, it trots along its uniquely squirrely way. Invite some friends over; serve plenty of beverages and snacks; and have a wonderfully silly evening.

Summary: The most original romantic comedy in years.
Review: Throw away your preconceptions going into this film. This cute, funny story takes you through innumerable situations and plot twists as it parodies the superficiality of modern pop culture in America and India. And it will bring tears of joy and laughter as you follow Ramy on his adventures toward fulfilling his boyhood dreams of dancing and singing in American movies. Each time you think the story will take you into familiar comedic ground, you will be delighted with an ironic twist in those expectations. But do keep intact your expectations of what makes great comedy: a brilliant story, intelligent writing, and a fast pace. Also keep open your eyes and ears for a cornucopia of wonderful sights and enchanting dialogue throughout this tale of boy meets girl. Each scene is as vivid in this respect as are the feast of vibrant colors painting the film (kudos to the cinematography). Not since "Hear My Song" or perhaps "Waking Ned Devine" has a comedy been this entirely original and engaging. This film does not break the mold; it casts a new one. Best of all it does not pander to the audience with crude jokes and crass situations. You feel as if you are approaching the world with the same wide-eyed innocence as does Rammy. Everything is perfect about this film, from the casting, to the plot, and to the comedic timing. Enjoy and laugh, or even dance and sing, it is impossible to resist!

Summary: Hilarious
Review: What a surprise. From the first to the last minute I was in stitches. The storyline was fresh and original and Marissa Tomei is superb.
It is a seemingly accurate but humorous portrayal of how superficial Americans can be in assuming anyone of Indian or Asian Nationality must either work in a Indian Restaurant or is some religious Guru as is the case in this movie.
I would really put this up as one of the best comedies that have been released in the past couple of years. Get it when it is released.
