I Can't Think Straight (2008)

If the plot is cheese, it never rises above the level of a Dairylea triangle

She is still some way short of making a movie that deserves a ticket-buying audience.

Both films are politically daring as well as what used to be called risque. Neither, I'm afraid, is well directed or acted.

A decent plot and strong characters can't quite overcome the limitations of this low-budget film, mainly because the director struggles to inject much energy or spark into the story. Which is frustrating for a premise with this much potential.

It’s such a mish-mash of terrible ideas next to sincere and affecting themes that it never really works and repeatedly sabotages any recommendation.

From the wince-inducing title onwards, the script is laughably bad, especially when it attempts seriousnes.

A should-have-been straight-to-DVD film that ticks enough boxes to make its cinema release an example of affirmative action.

I Can’t Think Straight, a glossy contemporary cross-cultural romance between a Palestinian Christian girl and an Anglo-Indian Muslim girl, is spectacularly dreadful.

Frankly this looks more like Dynasty, with some very broad, soapy acting, coy sex scenes and some airily conspicuous wealth.

This one's got it's heart in the right place...but little else to recommend it.
