This movie is hilarious. In the top shelf of the growing genre of indo-american movies. In the Indie tradition of disregarding political correctness, this movie doesn't take itself too seriously. The plot is age-old but the context brings the freshness to the story. It is well scripted and not afraid to make the "bad joke" a joke. The stereotypes are all present but unlike the generic, lame "one-label-fits-all" Indian stereotype found in the main stream, this movie takes the time to go beyond that and get reqional. These are characters we can relate to or know of. Hari (Sunil Malhotra) as the FOB (Fresh-off-the-Boat) Indian in Houston and Mohan (Kal Penn) as the ABCD (American Born Confused Desi) play out the conflicts of these two groups. But its also the characters we meet on the way that colors this film riveting. Sunil Malhotra and Kal Penn are great but I think Sunil Thakkar steals the show as the "King of the FOBs" - Shyam Sunder Balabhadrapatramukhi.
