I wasn't a fan of Chadha's more recent movie Bend it like beckham, which I cant stress enough just does not at all match up to the quality of this film. Old certainly IS gold, as Bhaji On The Beach clearly demonstrates, focusing on the variety of problems faced by the many characters involved and not just one leading character's problems. This is certainly what makes the movie interesting at all times. Everyone has their own issues in which to deal with and not a single uninteresting second goes by. Theres always something that holds your attention, makes you laugh or sympathise with the character(s) concerned. The combination of the excellent, upbeat dance-orientated music (which was dominant at the time in contrast to today's rubbish), colourful scenes of Blackpool pleasure beach, humour and grim reality makes this a film definitely worth watching. I urge any one interested in this genre of movies to watch this. A fantastic film that whole-heartedly deserves 10/10. It's a shame they don't makes movies like this anymore.

I didnt actually watch this until its re-runs in the mid-1990s and although I can only manage to remember 2 of the characters (one of them, an American woman), it was incredibly funny enough to keep me glued to the TV set every Saturday afternoon at the age of 9, so i would naturally recommend this to kids. Good stuff.

I remember seeing this on cable about 10/11 years ago and I watched it with my Dad and brother who both found this hilarious and still do now. This is one of those classic, fun-to-watch comedy films of the early 90s that you wont get bored of unlike today's trash! Its right up there with the Ernest series and Father of the Bride films. If u want a good laugh for an hour and a half, watch this. An original, humorous plot featuring an American class (which is something to common to that 'Saved by the Bell era') in France. They should really start making more movies like this! Kids will ACTUALLY enjoy it.
