A fun warm movie!

This is a great little movie. Easy and fun to watch. It is cliché andpredictable at times, especially towards the end but that does not takeaway from the heart warming story that is at the core of this movie.The music is great and the few Bollywood type scenes add to the fun andfestivity of the movie. Vinay Virmani gives a great performance as doesCamilla Belle and Rob Lowe. The best performance of the show however is"the dad" Anupam Kher. His stern yet tender performance is believablefrom the very start of the movie. Russell Peters seemed a bit stiff andnot nearly as funny as his stand up but that does not slow down thismovie. A great popcorn movie.

Watch it... Avoid it...

My rating and review is strictly based on dubbed Hindi version. There are two kind of audience to this movie. One, who have seenPatiala House(PH); and second, who have not. Movie carries a lot fromAkshay kumar's PH. Change the cast, remove cricket and add Ice hockey &insert a friendly uncle instead of cousins and you get Breakaway. It also carries the same flaws that PH had. The plot has so much todeal with that its neither a full patriotic sports movie like Chak de,India! nor a family/love story like PH or Apne. Most of the comicsituations are lost in translation. I hope that Russell peters' jokemust have been good because I couldn't get a laugh in dubbed version.Most disappointing fact was that someone else(probably Raju kher) didthe voice-over for Anupam kher.All in all watch it ONLY if you have access to Breakway and steer clearof Dubbed version, Speedy Singhs.

Worst film i have ever watched.

This is the worst film to probably ever come out of production. Theplot was awful, the acting was corny as hell. The lead actor was trulyand utterly awful i don't know who thought that hiring him was a goodidea. The storyline was so typical and boring, it was cringe worthy ifI'm honest, i actually went to get a refund after watching the film asit was that bad, i still plan to sue the cinema for even putting thefilm up for public viewing, it is moronic to say the least. The songswere terrible in the film, i was expecting Rick Ross or possibly TempaT but instead it was some lame Bollywood singers who really made it achore to listen to.

Game misconduct!

I hoped that this would be an enjoyable movie, considering that thevery funny Russell Peters was in it; unfortunately, it was LAME.The jokes generally fell flat. Pot calling the kettle black? Really?! Iam surprised that we never heard, "I know you are, but what am I?" Potcalling the kettle brown would have been funnier.The plot had no periods of intensity ... certainly nothing that made megive a rat's ass about what happened and nothing worthy of beingfollowed by "denouement".When Raj is served the very hot dish at Patel's, and his love interest,Melissa, eats it, she is desperate for a glass of water. In that scene,Raj knocks over the glass then hands it to her. It was very obviousthat there was no liquid in the glass before or after it was knockedover. Presumably the "knocking over" was an error. Was this such a lowbudget movie that they could not shoot another take to make it evenlook remotely real?!How is it that Raj has a Canadian accent, but his younger brother hasan Indian accent, even if only slight? Were they not both raised in thesame household in Canada?The appearance of Drake in the movie (apparently a friend of RussellPeters in really life) was oh-so-contrived. While it is possible thatsomeone of his calibre would be hanging out at the same bar as theseregular Joes, even if he were, we are expected to believe that he wouldsing for someone - someone he does not know - just because they askedhim (and God knows how Raj got past his entourage to even ask him)?The whole issue with turbans vs. helmets - presumably, a criticalmoment - was brought up so casually and then "solved" so casually itwas laughable. And Raj was able to have ancient-style Sikh warriorhelmets retrofitted to CSA standards - and thus be acceptable for playin the league - within a week (yes, the dialogue even mentioned thatthey only had a week)?! Really?! Come on! Extremely disappointing. Perhaps, Mr. Peters, like Brent Butt provedwith "Corner Gas", you should stick to stand-up ... you're much funnierthere.
