Good for the desis who are hockey fans

As an Indian American and a hockey fan (GO STARS and *Canadiens second 😛), I'm glad to see a Indo-Canadian film made about hockey and the Speedy Singhs team, especially with the large number of Punjabis in Canada. This is a good funny comedy, and I'm not gonna take it as some quality Oscar film like Slumdog Millionaire (even though a lot of Indians hate that movie for portraying India in a bad way with the slums, prostitution, etc.)

Love Russell Peters' role as the douchy fiancee, Noureen of course fit in the movie perfectly as a hockey WAG herself and Vinay Virmani as the lead (he's pretty good-looking) for the lead.

Actually, I just saw Russell Peters do a funny bit.....on my 2nd time watching this.
Slumdog needs to be remade, but this time following the book, Vikas Swarup's "Q & A". Amazing that they didn't stay closer to the book.
