VividSimon Simply Perfect

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

esaday This review CONTAINS SPOILERS, but since this movie was absolutely predictable and terrible, it won't ruin it for anyone if I share them. Whether you like Bollywood or Hollywood, the movie was just bad. In fact, I would go to the dentist to have multiple root canals before I would watch this again.This movie was entirely predictable from start to finish. The minute I found out that Kareena's character was a surgeon, I knew she would be operating on Akshay at some point and this would be central to plot and the 'love' story. And that's in the first 20 minutes of this film.If you're looking for longing looks or montages in front of exotic places, you're mostly going to be disappointed. But you will get to see a brawl at a wedding reception, women getting hit randomly, and someone getting kicked in the crotch. I wonder if they were meant for laughs, because I wasn't laughing.There were so many plot holes that you could drive a truck through them. Characters were 2-dimensional, at best, and most seemed just to be there as props for A and K. Further, it was really obvious that the writer has only seen America through his television and the research he did on either of these professions (surgery and stuntman) was done by watching soap operas. Otherwise, he would know that the hot dog scam wouldn't work, patients aren't conscious during surgeries (which their doctors have paid to perform) nor do those doctors have long glittery fingernails or take unsterilized rings and a watch in the OR. He'd know that an intern (K's character) would have been supervised by an attending, so her mistake would have been found out quickly, that stunt men have health insurance, that hospital bills are paid after your insurance get through with them and that there's no way anyone would go back to stunt work, much less walk, after having surgery on their intestines/stomach. He'd know that major players in Hollywood don't show up to an awards show for stunt men, that if you got stopped at an airport for carrying drugs, a simple cavity search wouldn't cut it and a dog would probably be involved. And finally, if he'd even done any research, he would know that California is a no-fault divorce state which means that if one part of a couple wants a divorce, it's granted, regardless of whether they can prove there's grounds or not.Beyond all that, the worst part of this movie is the underlying message that a man/woman can abuse and treat a woman/man like trash and s/he will fall in love with him/her. There's tons of movies where the characters fight before they fall in love but the way that these two treated each other was vicious and disgusting. And the way that the movie treated women in general was pretty disgusting. If you like Bollywood or romantic comedies, I would skip this film.

chrichtonsworld While this is no masterpiece of any kind it does do what it is set out to do. And that is entertain. The problem however is that it entertaining for a certain kind of audience. In it's heart this is a romantic comedy that distances itself from the traditional Bollywood love story. Although it does contain elements from that genre. Basically the love story is more westernized and that apparently is too much for your typical Bollywood fan too handle.Bollywood fans want to see the same thing over and over again. Any change or modernization is felt as a slap in their face. And this is something I just don't understand. Since most of what is happening in this movie is pretty universal especially the conflict between the main characters. I have to admit that some scenes are far too silly and drag the movie a bit. But for the most of it is all good fun. Ignore the critics and you might be surprised how entertaining this movie actually is.

DesiBaba I am not sure how the Nadiadwalas can produce such garbage, that too when so much money was poured in? Is there no accountability or standard for investing so much? Is this the standard the Nadiadwalas go by?? Like most of the reviews have mentioned already it is an extreme case of "wananbe", "posers" living out their fantasies in a movie, good, cos it would never happen in real world. What a waste at so many levels. I hope a couple of dons and gangsters who funneled their movie through Nadiadwala lost a ton of their money on this movie.Music: 4/10Screenplay: 1/10 Acting: 6/10 Overall: 2/10

badmaash9911 First of all, this movie is a romantic comedy. As such, it really only needs two ingredients to work, obviously comedy and romance. The first half is entertaining and full of laughs. The humor is crude, sexual, and sometimes vulgar, but it's not delivered in a cheap way. This movie is NOT intended for the traditional Bollywood audience. There is no shying away from kissing and showing of skin. The movie takes place mostly in Los Angeles, so there's a very western feel to it. Kareena looks great. Akshaye looks good as usual. I think the two work well together in this movie.As for the plot, it's predictable. It begins as a "battle of the sexes", so to speak, which eventually gives way to a love story between Kareena and Akshaye in the second half. However unoriginal and disappointing this may seem, this really isn't very different from any other Bollywood movie.In closing, the film is visually appealing (ie. everyone looks good and is dressed well) and the music is relatively catchy. The movie is not ground breaking, but I think it's definitely a nice change of pace, if not risky by bollywood standards. If you are not uncomfortable with a liberal sense of humor and you are looking for a good laugh, I would recommend this movie.
