Irishchatter I was entertained by watching it but it just didn't flatter me. I don't know why I felt it but that's how I thought when looking at this movie! I thought the fake Indian accents were terrible including Jimi Mistry's fake Canadian accent! If any actors are gonna do accents, then they should be properly be prepared to do it at their auditions. It's just ridiculous and disturbing to hear them. Or they should've just used their own voices, it would make the movie easier to watch!I honestly didn't find the film that brilliant, I'm really just disappointed that this didn't work for me to enjoy!

Cheri Ferrari (mitzkity) I thought this movie was adorable, enchanting, amusing, and all those romantic comedy clique words...yes, I really bought it ALL. Except, I couldn't quite figure out what was up with Kyle's character - he seemed so stiff and odd, and I seemed like the only person who noticed how odd he really was. Okay, I have an ear infection and 102 deg fever - maybe that's what it was, but I tell you, I almost turned beet red in my own living room when I saw Kyle DISAPPEAR! Was I the LAST one on earth to figure it out? I LOVED IT!!!! Yes, I guess it was a gay plot line, but really the MOM is the story and she is a class act all the way. What a great part, well acted and --wow, how she can be both youthful and shrewish in a minute! Her behavior at the wedding was a triumph and my hat's off to her. Her son's cute, but a bit of a sissy - I loved the boyfriend and think they'll make a great couple. I'm not gay, but if I was, I'd want to go live in their honest world. This film must have been a real hit at the film festival... such a pleasure to watch!

gradyharp Ian Iqbal Rashid is a sensitive director who is bringing the two poles of Indian Bollywood and Indie 'Hollywood' closer together. In TOUCH OF PINK he has taken the best of both and created a tender, charming, warmly funny tale of the struggle of a Pakistani young cameraman Alim (Jimi Mistry) in coming to grips with his sexuality. Yes, the story has been done many times, but rarely with the genuine tenderness Rashid has found.Alim, a transplanted Pakistani youth born in Kenya, raised in Toronto, Canada and living in London, has a guardian angel in the form of Cary Grant (Kyle MacLachlan) who has replaced his father he never knew and who is his constant companion in his flat in London - giving advice Alim wants to hear while acting as a curtain to shield Alim from the more difficult facts of his being an openly gay male. Alim is in love with Giles (Kristen Holden-Ried) and they live a happy life together - until Alim's mother Nuru (Suleka Mathew) comes to pay them a visit.Nuru has lived alone since her husband's death, always longing for a fantasy life of fleeing the restrictions of Indian culture to become a star like Doris Day. Her life is one of frustration and her hopes for something better seem to rest on her only son Alim's getting married so that Nuru can compete with her sister currently planning an extravagant wedding for her own son Khaled.Once in London, Nuru finds Alim cold, living with a British man, and finds her hopes for a possible wedding quashed. Giles takes the reluctant Nuru for a shopping and dancing day and wins her heart. But when Nuru finally discovers Alim's secret, she leaves London, hurt, sad, and despondent. Giles is angry with Alim's harsh handling of their relationship and leaves Alim to the sole companionship of his Cary Grant. Through a series of discoveries and introspection Alim flies to Toronto to the wedding of his cousin, to appease Nuru, and there Pandora's Box opens resulting is a series of surprises that bring the actions to resolution. Though many will have seen the end coming, for those who have not seen the movie, telling the plot ending would be a sad disservice! The dialogue is smart, the use of the Cary Grant guardian angel is excellent (especially given the fine performance by Kyle MacLachlan), and the characters as portrayed by this talented and attractive cast are indeed lovable. This is a feel-good movie, a fine statement about being true to one's self, and a healthy look at gay relationships that are not either 1) candy coated or 2) sadistic or doomed. Highly recommended.

scullystwin42 Entertaining but uneven movie. It's a cute concept, and Kyle Maclanahan is wonderful as the spirit of Cary Grant. I found the lead actor to be a bit uneven, but buoyed by excellent performances by the supporting actors and actresses. I was glad it didn't fall into the "gay guy forces straight friend to play fiancée" cliché - it hit it, went on, and we weren't forced to listen to tired jokes. Worth a rental, emotional but light-hearted. The only jarring part was the "relationship" between the lead character and his cousin - I found it hard to believe that an intimate relationship between first cousins, especially male, would be permitted.
