Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

SnoopyStyle Deepak Veer Chopra (Vinay Virmani) is an eager new doctor in Delhi, India hoping to follow in his late father's footsteps. He emigrates to Toronto with his mother where his accreditation is not recognized. Her brother Vijay and his wife Rani are their sponsors. He befriends cabbie Tony (Kunal Nayyar) and becomes a cabbie himself. He starts treating many of his fares. He falls for coffee girl Natalie Wilman (Adrianne Palicki) and delivers her baby in his cab. Her playboy baby daddy Colin (Chris Diamantopoulos) is running to be mayor.This is perfectly nice with really broad humor. It's a little too broad at times and a little too serious at other times. Vinay is a perfectly nice new actor. There are a few recognizable faces in the cast. This is all perfectly nice but it won't break through in America. First, the lead is a nobody. Second, it takes place in Toronto. Neither of which excites an audience. This may be a nice film but nothing exceptional.

yasachandra There is simply no buildup of any character or situation. The entire movie is like watching a huge trailer. The basic story and plot is good but a lot of overacting by Kunal and unrealistic scenarios are all just too much to absorb. I didn't expect this, given the popularity this movie has gained. I couldn't even stand it for an hour. So in my opinion, don't watch it, you'll only waste your time.

At Last This film has a predictable plot and the stereotypes are all alive and well here: Indian, white, Italian, the Canadian medical system, and, oh yes, let's all laugh at the fat girl who seeks love. There are a few laughs but not enough of them. The pluses? Vinay Virmani's 'Deepak Chopra' is likable and charming. Kunal Nayyar has some good moments as Tony, a fellow cabbie. The love interest Adrianne Palicki is, well, tall. The rest of the cast seems a bit overwrought although Mircea Monroe has one of the few genuinely funny turns as Deepak's Ghandi-spouting, exotic dancing, yoga-infused white 'auntie'. The film includes some Bollywood-style music sequences. And his fans may be surprised that Kunal Nayyar is a pretty good rapper. But the few funny moments in this film can't carry the rest of the cliché fest.

chaitov I am still "high" on this film having gone this afternoon,even after doubting it would be very good.Wow,was I pleasantly surprised.I absolutely loved it.From the first great,cinematic shots in India to Deepak's arrival in Toronto with his mom,I was utterly mesmerized.The casting is spot on,in my opinion,from his westernized uncle,and flaky but likable caucasian wife,to Tony(The Big Bang Theory)his cabbie friend,and the rest of the great cast.There was no overacting and all the situations were very believable. I laughed heartily,then,had tears in my eyes at certain truisms re immigrant professionals who are forced to drive cabs to make a living. This is a true tragicomedy. The script was wonderful and to the point,as was the plot.But for myself,being a Torontonian,how wonderful to finally portray Toronto as Toronto.It's about time. And what wonderful cinematography of the city. The shots showed the fantastic city T.O. really is,especially stunning ones of the CN tower at night.Also,throughout the movie the music was appropriate and wonderful,partly Bollywood,Italian,etc.which added to the Joie de vivre of this exceptionally funny film.I didn't want the short Bollywood dancing scene to end at Deepak's birthday party. So,if you want 101 minutes of pure escapism and entertainment,without CGI effects,far fetched ideas,or silly,gross comedy(like"Bad Grandpa")but just a realistic type story,run,don't walk to "Dr.Cabbie." I promise,you won't be disappointed.The director,Jean Francois Pouliot should be applauded for this memorable,fun film.
