this film try and fails to be a compelling account of the experience of indian grow up in the u. s. the perspective espouse here match up nicely with the the view that many indian hold of abcds represent that all of them have forget their heritage and culture and that all the woman be promiscuous and the men be conflict yet also promiscuous and that all abcds hate their parent with a passion and seek to flout their moral standard at every opportunity and and that the woman can be redeem ( temporarily at least ) by have sex with a ridiculous and platitude spout fob . the characterization of the main player be reduce to empty stereotype . event that might have be move be render flat and absent of feeling . motif for action be at best unclear . anyone who have even a passing familiarity with the subject matter or have live the experience will most likely be repulse by this film . i haven not even mention the terrible acting or the incredibly bad dialogue . watch the namesake for a true to life version of the conflict that be explore so unconvincingly here .
