SunnyHello Nice effects though.
2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
patsyheavenuk What a great show, please bring on more of the same! so nice to see my old stomping ground (East Ham) being used to show a witty and sharp cast and very clever script. None of the old worn out Asian stereotypes here, (i noticed there were more humorous comments made here of that; the Turk who knew, or was related to the entire Turkish community!- the reality of the Hindu family - and the dip into controversy with him being estranged from his wife) Vik is a fast thinking, funny, likable and very real character, as are the rest of the cast - Neil Stukey in particular. The bit with the Hindu Liberation Front cracked me up completely! My partner is British Asian, very discerning and he howled through it, instead of hiding his head under his cushion! Please don't let this be just a pilot!!! Many thanks Patsy
