Today's Special (2009). 1h 39m | R

“Saw this movie floating around on netflix. I was really bored one night and decided to check out the movie. I was glad I did, its one of those movies that just leaves you in a better mood than when you started: a feel good movie! The acting is good with really likable characters especially the cab driver/cook whose character I just love. I never really was a fan of The Daily Show correspondent Aasif Mandvi. Didnu0026#39;t like the humor or anything too much but he is great in this movie and can actually act. Now fair warning, I liked this movie a lot in part due to my ability to relate/understand the culture behind the story (I am an Indian college student in the USA) and also love the old school Hindi songs in it (hooked me into the movie). The movie is also typical in some of its approach and formula, it isnu0026#39;t anything new or groundbreaking. But nonetheless it is very enjoyable and isnu0026#39;t just restricted to brown people lol. This movie is easy to relate to if you are a first generation foreigner (of any country IMO). It just enhances the movie experience. Iu0026#39;ll definitely will be showing this movie to my friends. The movie fits a nice category of movies that isnu0026#39;t very abundant: a great light drama, semi romantic, light comedy. Another movie I would include in that category would be Morning Glory with Rachel McAdams.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBottomline: give this movie a chance and watch it, you wonu0026#39;t be disappointed! u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eExtra awesomeness— Dennis Duffy (30 Rock) is in it (for a bit)! Love me some 30 Rock”
