In the hands of a lesser director, the secondary characters, including Todd's matronly Indian landlady, might have been mere caricatures. Smart production design and camerawork enhance the sense of authenticity.

Fresh
A frothy romantic comedy that makes a serious point about the arrogance of treating human beings from around the world as interchangeable economic units.
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Fresh
A sweet if predictable variation on the premise of the ugly American, redeemed by Hamiton's dry performance, some nice comic turns by the Indian supporting cast, and a droll script by Jeffcoat and George Wing.
Joshua Katzman, Chicago Reader
Rotten
Picture Office Space, but shot in Mumbai and not funny.
Drew Toal, Time Out New York
Fresh
Jeffcoat handles the ostensible cultural differences gingerly. The movie's approach to globalism is to play everything small and keep everybody human.
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
