Green Card Fever

Good humor. Great story. Comic and tragic at the same time. Nice cast. Vikram Dasu was good in acting. But, may not suit commercial star roles. Purva Bedi was good, but, didn't look like a Telugu girl. Deep Kadare was the best-acted like a Hollywood actor. There are so many non-actors. That's the drawback of the film. With everyone as capable as Deep Kadare, Vikram Dasu and Purva Bedi, and the villain Kizad, the movie would be much better. Living in Brooklyn, I related to the movie and the immigration problems 100%. If you haven't been through those, you may not understand some scenes. But, if you have, you'll cry and laugh.

Doing a film about immigration politics and still keeping it as a romantic comedy is a very interesting idea. It worked for me. I liked the young lawyer guy very much. He's very subtle in his performances. All the other actors needed more training as he apparently has. The film has a very unusual kind of humor. In a very sad scene, the illegal immigrants sit in their prison cell and talk about the famous hot coffee case of fast food joint, and it ends up with a hilarious punch, "American thighs are too costly.." I didn't know whether to laugh or not, but, couldn't stop laughing. Strange humor, but, original. Crew sounds like the amateur college folks who didn't know how to put a real-looking beard to an old character. Cast, writing, and directing was better than the technical parts.

Some good moments, terrible editing, too much social commentary. Not bad for a first movie.

Srinath Sampath is the lone bright spot in this film. He plays the smarmy cabbie in the beginning. Brilliant! DeNiro got started as a taxi driver and I predict Mr. Sampath will as well.

This just might be the worst movie I have ever seen. This movie went beyond laughably bad, to just bad. The acting was unconvincing and the story was stupid. The worst thing about it is that the dearth of American movies featuring Indian actors causes Indian people to like the movie, regardless of how terrible it is (like "American Desi"). I rank this movie among the 5 worst movies I have ever seen in my life (along with "Batman and Robin"). I implore you to NOT see this movie, only because it will make people think that this is a movie worth watching. I apologize for all of the "hateful" comments, but this movie suffers from everything that goes into making a bad movie.

I really enjoyed the movie. The different moods were captured pretty well.

The acting from the new comers was not bad at all. I recommend people watch it. Deep Katdare is a good actor and has a bright future in front of him.

Overall its a good fun movie for all.
