Touch of Pink (2004)

Simply Perfect

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***Well, folks, here we have a 2004 'Bollywood' rip of.........er, ahem.........I mean, take off on Ang Lee's "The Wedding Banquet" (1993). And speaking of take offs, the one around which this film centers, involving a very suave and debonair one-time romantic idol, is run into the ground after awhile. Enough can be enough, Cary........er, ahem........I mean, 'Kyle-y'.If Mistry is ever to become a romantic lead, but winds up kissing his female leads no better than he does his male lead here, then he'd better head back to the old 'College of Osculation'-------loosen up, Jimi (a kiss is just a kiss, a mouth is just a mouth..........the fundamental things apply.....).While there are a few cute things in this "rom-com," male lead, Mistry, is just a little too unconvincing. Fortunately, this is not true of Kristen Holden-Reid, who does a terrific job playing boyfriend, Giles. If Supporting Actor nominations were given for films like this, which of course they're not, his name should be one of the first up there.PS: While Suleka (Sue) Matthew, as Mama Nuru, is a physically lovely woman, her character certainly can be a little taxing at times. Overall, though, she's quite fun.

Both gay, acting so nice. And Kristen......u r amazing. Is there anybody know how to contact him? is he married or what? How old is he, does he have any website that I can visit? That's all because i'm so amaze with Kristen, I don't know what's wrong with him, but i'm so so so attracted to him. The idea is good, but I'm not agree with gay. I think it would be nice if the story change with normal ending, which is mean, the gay men meet their truelove that female not male. By the way, I like Kristen Holden-Reid, I'm desperately want to see him or at least got all information about him. PLease,,,,show me how to contact him, is there anybody could help me with these things?

i think that that this movie was really nice. and i loved Alim's mom. i thought it was really understanding of her to accept him for who he was. and i loved Giles. he is so cute and hot!!!! i think that this movie is a movie that people have to see. i isn't hard coming out to your parents. and this movie tells you or i should say shows you how hard it is to come out to your parents when your someone like Alim. Alim character was really nice to. me and my cousin watched this movie together and we were both like all into the movie. the ending was so nice. i don't want to ruin it for you so I'm not going to tell you what happened. but i will tell you that you must watch this movie. it'll make you go," aaaawwwwwwwwwww". thats what we did.

I give this movie a 2 cause Kyle MacLachan is really delicious imitating Cary Grant. Also, the conceit of his character (he extols the virtues of staying in the closet) is interesting. The rest of the film is anything but. Exasperatingly predictable with witty exchanges like He: She has a peaches and cream complexion! She: Well, I'm lactose intolerant! (The Sundance audience howled at that line, as they did through most of the movie, incidentally. Sundance audiences are THE worst!)If you want to see a vastly superior interesting and not only interesting but thoroughly enchanting movie about gay Arab issues see "ROAD TO LOVE" by Remi Lange. You won't get some tired mother in law yipping and yapping cliché in this one taking up most of the screen time! And you get far wittier exchanges in this film in a style combining "Dogma" and Cassavettes style approach starring two wonderful quick charismatic Algerian dudes.You know in "Pink" I really hated every single character in the movie, when I think back on it... basically it was cause they were made of cardboard.
