i think american desi be simply a collection of outrageous stereotype . let put aside the cue little acronyms abcd ( american born confuse desi anyone of indian descent ) and nri ( not resident indian ) and look at in my opinion the fundamental flaw with this movie . with the exception of the two female character nina and priya and nobody be likable in this movie . both nina and priya be charm and sweet and people you want to be around . unfortunately and they be only support character in this flop . everybody else be either a total fool and idiot or dork . i do not know any person let alone an indian and or pakistani who behave anything like the men ( or should i say immature boy ) in this movie . it seem the creator of this movie want to copy the american screwball comedy formula but and that not a good idea unless you have good writing and interesting character and etc . this movie lack in heart and doesn not deliver on a fascinating idea a film explore the life of american born indian .
