Movie Reviews of Ball & Chain
Movie Review: Sweet, wholesome romantic-comedy!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you've ever been in love and tried to resist it, you'll be able to relate to Ameet and Saima - the children of two strong-willed Indian American families whose main goal is to stop their pending arranged marriage, a custom deemed appropriate and necessary by their old school parents. The problem is, after finally succeed in halting the ceremony, Ameet and Saima discover they truly do love each other and changing horses mid-stream is not as easy as they think!
Suddenly the race is on for Ameet to try and stop Saima's inevitable union to runner-up scumbag Ashol - a sleezy playboy who just wants a hot trophy-wife. Can Ameet pull off a miracle and win back the girl of his dreams?
This sweet and easy-going comedy from Lions Gate is the perfect elixir for the string of recent formulaic been-there-done-that Hollywood romantic-comedies like "Failure To Launch" or "Just Like Heaven". Foregoing cheap cliches and over-used plot-lines, writer Thomas Mortimer explores the crazy side of a situation that is very relevant in today's society, yet rarely thought about by mainstream America - the arranged marriage.
Lisa Ray (Saima) and Sunil Malhotra (Ameet) give believable performances as the two confused young lovers and Kal Penn (Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, Van Wilder) shines as Ameet's best friend Bobby.
Held together nicely by solid performances, great direction by Shiraz Jafri, and a fun and quirky musical score courtesy of Deane Ogden, "Ball & Chain" is a welcome reversal from your average "American Pie-style" teen comedy. Well worth the watch!
