Rahul Seth is a dashing young millionaire who believes he is "western" enough to rebel against his mother and grandmother. They are not too keen about his Caucasian girlfriend Kimberly who, to make matters worse, is a pop star. Before you can say "karmic intervention," Kimberly dies in a freak accident and Rahul is devastated. Instead of allowing him to mourn in peace, Rahul's mother sees the opportunity she's been waiting for. She threatens to call off his sister's wedding unless he finds himself a "nice Indian girl." Rahul enlists the services of Sue, a fiercely independent escort whom he believes to be Hispanic, and therefore not "married" to the conventions taught to young Indian women. With a wink in her eye, Sue accepts the deal to pose as his Indian bride-to-be. She needs the money and having never been a fan of the typical Indian male, she feels her heart is safe. The charade begins....

This movie challenges ones mind to see racism from another perspective. It forces the issue of racism not on a black/white side of things, but an African American and Indian proportionally view.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This movie is light and sweet. Not academy award material but not every movie is or needs to be. It will give you a laugh or two and is completely clean. Great movie to sit with a snack after a long day or to watch with your mom or grandma, and those movies are hard to come by these days. This is along the lines of some other delightful Hallmark movies, Growing the Big One, a Princess for Christmas, Holiday in Handcuff's or The Engagement Ring. Personally I liked the movie and thought it was cute. This movie is acceptable for adults and children of all ages, but I don't think to many men would relate to it, unless they had a meddling mother

Vapid, mindless, shallow, hollow, insipid, boring. Actually, calling it shallow implies it has a little depth... but it has absolutely no depth. It is thoroughly uninspiring, uninteresting and boring. Furthermore, it is uninspired, colorless, uninteresting, feeble, flat, dull, boring, tedious, tired, unexciting, uninspiring, unimaginative, lifeless, tame, vacuous, bland, trite, jejune. It is unimaginative, uninspired, characterless, flat, uninteresting, lackluster, drab, dry, humdrum, ho-hum, monochrome, tedious, uneventful, run- of-the-mill, commonplace, pedestrian, trite, tired, hackneyed, stale, lame, wishy-washy, colorless, anemic, lifeless. I did not like it at all.
