MCT:May 8, 2008not my kind of film im afraid, acting was really poor, especially with that mum who seemed to have an obsession with the word 'bleeding'. The only possible bright spot is the storyline which was well thought of.

This flick is full of belly laughs. This period of english cinema came up with some truely great films and this one is right up there.
I put this in my must own category. -

An often funny movie but i'm sure it hits close to home to some people. When it's funny, it's hilarious. When it's not, it's hard going. I loved Linda Bassett as the mother, a very real and humane role. The youngest child was sweet, I felt sorry for him at times being picked on by his older siblings. It ultimately had a rewarding end.

MCT:February 29, 2008One of my favourite movies. And not just because it is set in Manchester. The positive side of culture clash.

I like that this film can cover serious issues that need adressing and at the same time be able to make people laugh. The humour in this film is brilliant. I challenge anyone not to laugh while watching this film. The performances really bring the whole film together as well. The actors are all great and make the film really enjoyable. It's a must see film.

Consistently amusing culture-clash/culture-rebellion comedy with good period detail and mostly likeable characters.

both gritty and very, very funny. bonus marks for being set in my hometown o'Salford. "go get bloody haircut. leave fucking fish!"
-
MCT:June 4, 2007A movie which is both funny and about a serious subject. In the end it's more serious and less funny,and I think that's kind of good. To show that it's a problem which exist,atleast in the seventies...
I like it. -

i think this has to be my favourite british comedy after about a boy. the family was hilarious, you will see a lot of the asian actors from soaps. jimi mistry was great.

I didn't find it particularly funny but i weren't really in the mood. theres just a bunch of ex soapstars in it.

This comedy is not only actually funny (often a rare thing) but also poignantly sad. it does a fantastic job of exploring a kind of culture clash which still exists today.

MCT:March 22, 2007Here comes the indians who live in england, this movie is absolutely emberresing to an indian culture, they show it like the indians are the bad people... well, am not sure if they're.. are they?
hahhaha..
oh well, this movie absolutely kicks a butt of it.. its one of ths movies will F**KING make you weeep for watching it.. oh god.. this movie absolutely annoys me.. its the worst movie ever after kissing jessica stein.. its absolutely crap..
a performance that people will die by looking at.. crap actors.. nothing good.. nothing interesting.. nothing fun beside some stupid indian jokes which give you a smile for 2seconds then comes all the shit all over again to ruin your good moods.. this movie should be ban to save me from bloody heart-attacks..
LOSERS FROM ASIA, they should totally just stay with bollywood, they dont match making movies like this at all..
i love them more as bollywood.. -

GREAT MOVIE. The film is about a Pakistani man who is trying to get his family to follow the traditional Muslim ways in England.

Co-worker 1: "Gunga Din! Drinking the white man's brew!"
Co-worker 2: "What are you doing here, Abdul?"
Abdul: "It's me stag night. I'm gettin' married."
Co-worker 1: "Who to?"
Abdul: "Dunno. Me dad hasn't bothered introducing us yet."

Maneer: "Will you two shut up?"
Meenah: "Have youi seen the state of them two?"
(Speaking from another room with everyone listening)
Meenah: "The one with the teeth's got a moustache like dad's."
Maneer: "At least she's got a neck. Tariq's looks like Quasimodo."
(to the listening crowd)
Ellah: "Kids, eh? Were your two like that Mrs. Shah?
Mrs. Shah: "No." -

A couple of great comedy moments. a really good representation of Asians living in the North of England but the laughs did come a little too far apart.
