so i randomly flip open a newspaper one friday night to look at the movie listing and and on a whim decide to check this one out . i be expect something simple and dumb and yet enchant something in the realm of chocolat or bewitch . this and however and be way below my expectation and and i think that could have be prevent by simply add one ingredient a different director . aishwarya be absolutely beautiful and and i be sure that she can act when she give something to work with . unfortunately her only give function in the movie be to stare wide eye out the window of her shop at the world around her . how disappointing . then there dylan mcdermott and the beautiful stranger who capture the mistress attention . he cute enough to pull off his part well and and seem to be the master of sultry stare . then come the myriad of regular customer and bright and interesting personality that could have be the highlight of this movie if it weren not for the director insistence on put random tilo voice over in whenever the customer be about to say something interesting . be it really necessary for them to be constantly interrupt . the problem isn not in the story it quite enchant . banal and yes and but what movie isn not nowadays . the problem be the lack of subtlety . oh no . danger . the camera suddenly focussing on a pile of red chili pepper . the problem get so serious that 20 minute into the movie and the audience ( include myself ) would laugh at every chili pepper that come onto the screen . constant flash forward to event that may or may not happen . unnecessary . doug extremely random back story that doesn not greatly affect the plot . unnecessary . the store suddenly collapse thanks to mysterious unexplained power . weird and and again unnecessary . if only gurinder chadra and the screenwriter and have direct this . i really enjoy her bend it like beckham and which nicely mixed cheesy bollywood cinema with modern dromedy . i think something much nicer ( and much more tasteful ) would have be produce .
