Amar Akbar & Tony

I had to write something about this movie. Totally underrated. It's amazing. I see a lot off negative reviews complaining about "too many stories" or "no actual storyline". Has our attention span diminished to that point? It actually tells you everything, just pay attention! I wouldn't know how to describe this movie without a spoiler so I'll tell you this. If you ever wanted to know what immigrants go through in a different country while trying to pay respect to their heritage, watch. I don't care who you are, immigrant, resident or citizen, you will relate. It's not comedy, it's not drama, it's all put together very beautifully. Respect

I wouldn't say this film is awful in the sense of '1 out of 10' on IMDb... but it goes up there with 'pretty rubbish'

Now, the first 20 minutes or so seems promising... There was comedic elements to it and I thought "hmm, this could go somewhere"

Unfortunately though after around 25 minutes - it just drops. The jokes aren't funny, it has far too many story lines to focus on and I would also say it's possibly quite borderline racist - there's constant reference to 'Tony' as 'whiteboy' and although you can tell that the intention behind the film is to demonstrate 'liberal' British Asian attitudes, it overdoes it - and gives off the opposite to the desired effect.

The acting skills were abysmal for some of the characters - watch the film and you will see who I'm on about.

Overall - would I recommend watching it?

No, I wish I had followed my gut instinct and walked out instead of clinging to hope that it will get better... Only for the first 20 minutes or so of the film am I giving it a 3/10... the rest - it goes from 2.5/10 to 2.0/10 to the very end... 1.2/10!

Brilliant story. That is the first thing you take home at the end of the night. Then you realise the characters were well written: funny, vulnerable and lovable. You wanted the three title roles to finish on top, you cared.

The style was a brave mix of British comedy, indulgent Bollywood and an all new dish of Malhotra (The guy who wrote and directed it). The laugh out loud moments were great. Opening night at the restaurant was cringe worthy, hilarious and heartwarming all at the same time.

All in all a great watch.

Found this movie by accident when browsing on Netflix and thought to give it a go. Boy oh boy, what a bloody mess this movie is. The first 20 minutes is alright and watchable, the rest is a mess. They tried to stuff in soo many things into a 90 minutes movie. Terrible storyline and terrible acting. Avoid this movie at all cost!

Now granted the movies premise is that 3 religions can get along great is a good thing. I don't know how real life this is but i wasn't too concerned. The movie is very dramatic and protests honor killings. In the guise of attractive middle eastern people there is a story line that we should just all just get along.
