Despite the silly storyline, the script is genuinely well-written, with very funny dialog and several hilarious scenes that mix Bollywood excess with American pop culture (most memorably, "You're the One that I Want" from Grease and Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are"). This blending of east and west is sublimely silly and so much fun to watch--and tap along with--that the film overcomes its shortcomings. It also helps that the cast is very good; Mistry is charming in the central role, with Graham and Tomei filling the female leads perfectly. Meanwhile, expert scene-stealers abound (Baranski as Lexi's edgy mum, McKean as a porn filmmaker, Morrow as a slippery agent, Mihok as Sharonna's repressed fiance, Marwa as Ramu's capitalist-embracing cousin). By the time the plot kicks in during the final act, we are already won over. All the usual rom-com cliches are here--doing the right thing, a last-gasp attempt to get the girl, the race to the church--but the filmmakers continually undercut the routine with knowing dialog and then a big finale musical number that leaves a huge grin on our faces.
