Queen_of_pentacles's reviews

A good,clean, family drama-cum comedy, a successful second innings for Rishi, both the newcomers, Aditi and Archit acting superbly, and Neetu is just adorable as a housewife.

Good editing , breezy shots, and natural situations add to the effectiveness of the fast tempo of the movie.

All the supporting actors are well-cast, especially the Farooqui couple, Sardarji of the Chatwal classes, and the corrupt police inspector.

Message of values more crucial than the worldly things has been conveyed beautifully, and does not smack of any preachiness.

Just relax on your couch and have a good time watching this flick on your home theater.

Shame on Yashraj films, who have continued to thurst some mindless stuff on the viewers,since Fanaa.

Police don't seem to exist in the town of Almor, only thing people are interested in is winning elections, by engaging into dirty tricks, and use of guns and fire,as if they were toy guns.

The script writer is totally confused as to the chemistry between Parma and Zoya, are they interested only in the physicality of their attraction towards each other,or do they really love till death do us part ?

It's all a matter of convenience for the script writer. Why does Parma discard Zoya in the first place, after their so-called suhag raat in an immobile train compartment ? And why does he change his mind later on to ask for forgiveness ? Beyond logic !

The number ishaqzaade really gets on your nerves to a limit ! Zoya appears to be nothing more than a sex-starved young woman, who is so gullible,that within hardly a few meetings with Param. Param's scene of pissing on the hoarding of his political rival is disgusting ! In the last scene, both Param and Zoya die like dogs, and yet fail to evoke any pathos. The act of one of the hooligan kicking dead Param's heel to see whether he is really dead, is the height of the inhuman angle ,and deranged direction. i repented renting the DVD,and wasting my precious time,but thanked my stars for not going to the theatre to watch this trash !

Jim Carrey is awesome, when it comes to acting with the animals, and he has given the most hilariously funny performances, whether it is about domestic animals,or even wild animals. The only other actor i can think of having a wonderful chemistry with animals,is Roy Schnider. Here,in this movie,we have penguins , who were the main heroes of movies like Happy Feet. But that was animation, and here we have Carrey, who gets connected ,just like his children, with those cute, but some times mischievous, some times aggressive penguins, that he is ready to forego attending an important meeting, just to get their custody back from the matter-of-fact zoo keeper, who could entice them with tempting fish, but not in the end, which is shot so well, that one feels it was worth watching it till the end.. and of course,it is watchable throughout, mostly because of Carrey, who has given a very controlled and sensitive performance. Especially the scene,when the egg refuses to hatch, and carrey's back is to the camera. The sets are realistic, wonderfully picturised, and sleek. Supporting cast is up to the mark. How ever,it's the dialogue ,which is failed to support the humour angle, except in some places, when the housekeeping staff come to check about all the mess created by the little adorable creatures. i have given it seven on ten, as the director could have evoked some more hearty laughters, but missed them. A clean family comedy, worth watching at least once.though it's a little saddening to note, that the age has started showing on Carrey's face too, though it has not yet succeeded in dampening his spirit,or that slim ,agile figure. i can see Carrey's The Mask over and over again.. The most lovable of them all.. forget the Oscar, Carrey, your fans are world-over !
