My hopes were too high for what this movie delivered. The acting was pretty good, but the movie starts to fall apart just as the plot speeds up. I blame both the script and the directing. See, the problem is that Harry doesn't know what he wants. And he's too chicken to pursue girls on his own, so he outsources the task by having an arranged marriage, except he does it under the pretext of ensuring lasting marital happiness. And then he chickens out of that too (but not before what might be the Indian wedding equivalent of saying "I do"). So here's the real spoiler and shame of the film: he's got an Indian girl ready to marry him and an American girl ready to date him...but he ends up single in the end, for reasons that are a mystery to me (and probably the two girls). I have a feeling the sequel will be Harry as The Indian 40-yr-old Virgin.
