Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
There are two crucial bits of miscasting, one bad, one good, both distracting.

rotten:
Its plot is hackneyed and banal.

An uncomfortable jumble of Harvey, Bend It Like Beckham and The Birdcage.

Much of the problem with Touch of Pink rests with Mistry, whose nice guy appeal registers even less than it did in his previous starring vehicles, The Guru and The Mystic Masseur.

rotten:
MacLachlan's strong jaw line and his valiant attempt to act so very Cary aren't enough to save this film.
