Movie Reviews of Bollywood Queen

Movie Review: Very fun and cute
Summary: 4 Stars

I just happened to rent this out of the blue, and was pleasantly suprised. This doesn't have the biggest budget obviously, so the dance and song numbers can be underwhelmingly. But it makes for a sweet romantic comedy with a little bollywood fun thrown in. If you liked Bride and Prejudice, then you'll like this bollywood-lite film also.

Movie Review: West Side Story with a happy ending.
Summary: 4 Stars

This movie is suprisingly engaging. Though a simple plot, the subject matter is timeless. The movie was done tastefully and unlike American similar movies, done without sex and violence. Nice music, uplifting and entertaining.

Movie Review: A surprisingly fun film
Summary: 3 Stars

I've recently become interested in James McAvoy's work. I've seen most of his later work, and couldn't resist purchasing this film to see how he fit into a Bollywood film.

The story is a simple one -- a sort-of West Side Story, but without the tragic end.

I'm somewhat familiar with Bollywood-type films. I know they are like the old Hollywood musicals with the cast breaking out into song at various times in the story. Bollywood Queen is no different.

When I first watched the film I laughed out loud when "Jay" (James McAvoy) started singing. It was dubbed, of course, but he did a good job of lip-syncing to the music. Some of the things McAvoy had to do in the name of Bollywood were silly, but he went with it, and seemed to be enjoying himself. He seems very comfortable in his skin. You can see he realizes that whatever the part, you give it your best.

I found myself enjoying the film. I ended up watching it 3 times! "Jay" and "Gina" have chemistry. I liked the storyline. I'm a sucker for romatic comedies. James McAvoy is very charismatic and his talent, even in this early film, is obvious!

Bottom line -- I wanted to see more of James McAvoy's work, so I purchased this film, and I'm very glad I did.

Movie Review: Bad film that is misleading about documentary practices
Summary: 1 Stars

This is a poorly produced film that is either misinformed or misleading about the nature of documentary history and documentary production. The film 's makers have no sense of the essay form history of documentary film, or the fact that Moore's techniques, in fact, fit squarely within the long history of documentary work since the early 20th century.
