I'm Sikh and it was just stupid.

I agree! I thought this movie was really good 'cause even though it was stereotypical and portraying F.O.B.S as nasty and dirty..etc, it still shows that regardless of their oily hair, lack of hygiene, they have some really good qualities. For example the way Hari would keep saying how his parents have helped him so much and when he gets his very first pay check, he decides to send it back to India. Thus, this affects Mohan, the white-washed, spoiled-brat Indian who gets everything on a silver platter and he gives his first check to his dad as well, I thought that was a really touching scene. Finally at the end when Ray starts kicking out everyone cuz he doesn't want any nasty fobs at the party, Mohan jumps in and starts telling him that he shouldn't be so discriminatory cuz "we are all desi: Indian, pakistani, Bengali...oh yeah and Sri lankan, Nepali.."..hehe. I thought this movie was trying to portray a really good message and the best thing is that it's TRUE. I know so many white-washed Indians/desis who despise Fobs and look down at them, but little do they realize that they DO have some really good qualities and we should learn something from them, instead of trying to be something they're not. Anyways, thought I'd share my views!
Peace

I thought that this movie had its funny moments and that some of it was bad. Considering that I am not 100% American, there were jokes in here that I could relate to, since I myself have grown up in a family with a FOB. I wouldn't say that this movie was bad, but good/bad. LOL

i thought this movie was going to be shi tty but when i watched it i kept laughing my ass off! Its terribly stereotypical but sorry man IT IS SO TRUE! But i'm kind of glad that it didnt have a big national release across America b/c then it would portray us indians/asians as idiots and they'd be making billlions off that. But with the indian/asian american viewing audience it is so on cue!!

Africans also viewed this movie and liked it. The stereotypes do not only apply to Indians - very funny.
