Yes, I admit I watched the whole movie. I've lived in India, work with people from there and wanted to see how this movie portrays this ancient and contemporary society.
Very stereotypical characters both amongst the Americans and Indians. While there were many truths conveyed about life and the social/economic issues, except for Asha's revelation that she can indeed do anything, the rest didn't come across in an organic, natural way. The whole film to me was quite awkward (due to the awkwardness of the lead male actor, and that wasn't just the character he portrayed).
Many of the Indian actors were very good and put up with the condescending script that was written.
Laughs were there, and even a tear for Asha and the conversation about cardamom, and the lead male leaving India etc. but not enough to recommend it. Sorry! Still, hope the next film comes out really great and that the filmmakers work more on script development.
