Movie Reviews

I'm rating this a six because I enjoyed the East Indian representation and would like to see more, but I think there are better scripts.

There were parts of this Hallmark holiday romance that were nice...like the sharing of some East Indian culture, but there were parts that were awkward like the say anything/Bollywood dance moment.Jake and Asha meet in the ER during Christmas thanks to an icy sidewalk injury. A year later Jake asks Asha to marry him and goes to spend Christmas with both his parents and her parents the Singhs.The spicy food, superstitions, lack of footwear in the house, sari's, etc were all fun to see as was the explanation of the small number of Christians in India. I thought the classing seemed forced because everyone seemed open and reasonable.I really enjoyed Manoj Sood, who played Asha's father Samuel...for me he was the star of the show.Colorful and quasi romantic. I wanted more from this film...including a few less stereotypes.

Love, traditions and family drama.

Asha is a nurse practitioner who one Christmas night encounters Jake, an old high school classmate. They hit it off immediately and go on an impromptu date that same night. Fast forward a year later, they get engaged and it's time to go back home and meet the inlaws.I'm a bit biased because I love Benjamin Hollingsworth and I think he is a great leading man, full of carisma and charm. I've seen Anuja in the Resident and I think it's her first Hallmark movie. I thought the chemistry was there. I'm definitely not mad about the early kiss. It instantly breaks the formula we are all used to.Yes, this movie is full of stereotypes. And you can imagine how this goes, Indian family on one side and Irish descendants on the other, everyone proud of their cultures. The problem is that the main characters get stuck in the middle and the relationship struggles because of that. The parents should know better.This movie is quite fast paced, it has a big secondary cast, meddlesome parents, sweet scenes between Jake and Asha and unnecessary drama. If they do get married, I recommend they elope.

Romeo and Juliet with without all the daggers and poison

Well, not without ALL the daggers.A WASP young man and a woman whose heritage is from Christians from India have (almost) love at first sight, bumping into each other after they knew each other in High School, where she tutored him in Chemistry.After a year of happy dating, he proposes and she cheerfully accepts. Then comes the issues ... meeting each other's families and the families meeting each other.The daggers? Looks the two fathers give each other over the preference for baseball or cricket.The poison? The extra spicy food the young man gets (sort of) tricked into eating at a family dinner in the Indian home.Eventually, family issues threaten the relationship, and that happens all too frequently in real life.The conclusion is satisfying. I'm not sure this will bear repeated viewings, but we wouldn't avoid it. Thre are a few truly amusing moments.
