Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Well meaning but goofy attempt at an innocent-abroad comedy, with young Asian Harish (Malhotra) arriving in Texas in hope of finding the perfect partner. Instead he undergoes a rapid getting of wisdom as he's whipped around the South Asian party scene by diffident cousin Mo (Penn). A cake-and-eat-it affair, seemingly more interested in capturing (badly) the new antics and morals of Westernised Asians than its putative exploration of the comedy of difference.
