The Miseducation of Bindu

What was really this film about, bullying or parental neglect? Or was it just money. For a grumpy old man this was far too slow,underestimating the audience, it has some make-up issue comedy and the acting isnt completely of the target.but the plot and its speed was.

Wanna see some good western/indian comedy, see peter sellers in ''the party''

Not sure how this is listed as a comedy as it is not funny.

It's about a 38 year old playing a late teen in a school where everyoyn is alway in the toilets and zero happens.

Ah well I lasted 10 minutes.

I usually enjoy high-school teen comedies but The MisEducation of Bindu, for me, felt like a sore miss. It has all the ingredients of a teen comedy drama but somewhere something is off. Whether it is the unfitting Indian touch or the poor performances by the leading lady (it felt like she was auditioning for the role while the camera was rolling) or the high level of awkwardness even by teenage standards, I'm not sure. I also don't think I laughed during the 90 minutes because some of the sequences are massively cringeworthy and really not needed in my opinion. All in all, The MisEducation of Bindu tries hard but does not pass muster. Grade D.

Granted, this is not a showstopper. It's been done plenty of times.

But I actually liked it. Entertaining. The lead actress Megan was a real pleasure to watch in action. Funny movie even.

Quirky, full of heart and featuring a diverse cast, The Miseducation of Bindu puts us right into the shoes of an Indian girl Bindu, played by the talented Megan Suri, as she navigates her local high school after her mom remarries. Starring the Scream franchise's David Arquette as her stepfather Bill and Priyanka Bose as her mother Kasturi, The Miseducation of Bindu is a sweet and heartwarming story about a teen who finds her true calling amidst the trials and tribulations of fitting into her new high school. The pot smoking sequence that leads to a very unexpected dance number is the highlight of the entire story and Megan Suri's fantastic acting is a sight to behold. With fantastic characters, energetic music and a story perfectly in line with the multicultural America of today, The Miseducation of Bindu soars above and beyond, delivering an emotionally poignant adventure that will win you over by the end.
