Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
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.

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.

rotten:
Picture Office Space, but shot in Mumbai and not funny.

fresh:
Jeffcoat handles the ostensible cultural differences gingerly. The movie's approach to globalism is to play everything small and keep everybody human.
