If there's a fresh idea in "When Harry Tries To Marry," I couldn't find it.

Nothing new under the sun, but Padrai spices things up just enough.

The larger problems are the usual ones for low-budget romcoms: haphazard plotting, clumsily staged and overly broad comedy and clunky dialogue.

Inspires little more than eye-rolling and impatient finger-tapping.

A bright, colorful slab of faux-multiculturalism, When Harry Tries to Marry is a substandard romantic comedy gussied up in Indian drag.

...an egregiously familiar romantic comedy that hews far too closely to the well-worn formula that one has come to associate with films of this ilk.

When Harry Tries to Marry shakes up the stale rom-com formula.

Audience Reviews for When Harry Tries to Marry

I thought it was going to be good, but then it gives me a shitty ending. I expect very little out of the generic romantic comedy, you just have to follow a simple little formula. Don't tell me what I was expecting at the end of the film and then spit all over it by giving me a crap-tastic version where he tries to "find" himself, that just tells me you were lazy and he learned nothing!

I really liked this movie. It deals with cross-cultural issues of arranged marriages and being Orthodox Jewish, I could relate to it (as did my husband). Check it out when it goes on Netflix or VOD. It's a feel good movie and the soundtrack is quite nice.

    1. Harry: I decided to live a little, to see where life would take me.
    2. Louis: I picked House Blend, cos it was the safe choice.
    3. Theresa: How do you run from the thing that run through your mind? The faster you run, the faster it goes after you.
    4. Harry: Thanks for being such a good pal.
    5. Game Show Host: Can you tell me who you choose to arranged married to and why?
    6. Theresa: Sometimes you just want time to stand still.
