“The film is flawed from the start. Lily is extremely intelligent but doesnu0026#39;t grasp the fact that her boyfriend didnu0026#39;t leave her for Miss India America because of the title, he is shown from the opening scene to not care about accomplishments or titles. This fact on its own renders the rest of the film to be superfluous. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDespite this, I stayed thinking that Lily will explore the depths of her humanity via the constant setups that indicated a strong likelihood of her mother playing a huge role in helping Lily understand the world, but this miss(ed) the mark too. Although the film does eventually draw on her mother, it does so in a rushed and superficial way. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOn top of all these disappointments, many of the secondary actors/actresses were atrocious (due in small part to the script).”
