Gorgeous girl needs to be taken down a peg or two as she feels her sister should not be marrying a mere stuntman. Male chauvinist pig brother feels women are only good for two things - sex and more sex! While there is much fun had at the expense of our leading lady, very little is done to show our leading man has much to learn as well. Good fun though. Obviously they end up falling in love and live happily ever after.

 I found some of the humour very interesting, in that at times I appeared to be the only person laughing out loud whereas during some of the more slapstick scenes, the rest of the audience seemed to really enjoy that. Give me a good script any day!

New York - food for thought

I enjoyed this film a lot, though I felt it was spoiled a little by the ending, which was in my opinion rather weak. It was thought provoking, in that I knew quite a number of people had been detained after 9/11, but I hadn't realised it was as many as 1200. Nor did I know how many of those were kept for long periods without any reason being given or charges made. It also made me wonder what I would do if I found myself in the position the main characters found themselves, which I guess was the main point of the film. 

The love triangle was handled well, (as you would expect from Bollywood :-) and the music was good, if a little long at times, and the three main actors were excellent. I wasn’t quite convinced by the way the main character’s reason for doing what he did was handled, but this may be a style thing more than anything. I also felt that the ending was a bit bland. Yes, life should go on, despite the horrors of 9/11, (or the bad guys win) but it just came across as being a bit weak after what was after all a film based on a very serious subject. 

Now, had the head of the FBI ‘extended the hand of friendship’ and thanked our hero for all the emotional stress he had just been put through over the previous couple of hours, that would have made for a stronger ending. Instead it came across as ‘Isn’t America the best?’ Well, actually, it does have its own problems, like recovering from 8 years of GWB in the White House. As someone who happened to be in Boston on 9/11, I still haven’t recovered from the crass manner in which that man acted. ‘We’re declaring war’ spouts George. OK. On anyone in particular, or just everyone who isn’t white and well off? It took him three days to realize that he might have been a little more diplomatic! Sorry, time I put away my soapbox! J 

This was a good film and well worth seeing in my opinion.
