saw chris and a clip on craig ferguson. would like to know when it is going to air so i don't miss it!
August 6,7,8 on IFC channel
This has been done in a movie called 'Bollywood Calling'
Saw this on IFC last night. Definitely had some slow moments but also had some really funny moments. I'm looking forward to watching more of it tonight @ 10.
I thought there were a lot of wonderful moments in the film, even the parts that seemed to show Chris Kattan's acting limitations. It was all part of the film and so you didn't feel quite as uncomforable. The grandmother character, Beeji, was a perfect foil to Kattan. By now, most westerners are used to Bollywood dance numbers, so the ones meagerly placed throughout the film were actually enjoyable, not just tolerable. Shooting in Mumbai and it's surrounding countryside was a big plus for the film. I give it 3 stars, the last two hours kept me interested, the inside jokes were kept subtle, the Indian actresses are beautiful, and the obligatory kissing scene (finally) was saved for the end in the dark (think Carrot Top and Courtney Smith-Thorne's kiss at the end of 'Chairman of the Board', much more merciful).
Sorry, Courtney Thorne-Smith, like it matters...
