Movie Info
Written and directed by Raj Nidimoru, this romantic comedy follows the love lives of several Indians who have immigrated to America. Flavors centers around the cross-cultural wedding between American WASP Jenni (Jicky Schnee) and Rad (Anupam Mittal), whose Indian parents (longtime Bollywood regulars Anjan Srivastava and Bharati Achreker) are forced to negotiate a middle ground between traditional Indian culture and the culture shock induced by their blonde-haired future daughter-in-law.

Innocuous but too-cutesy affair.
A good-natured Indian-American romantic comedy in the style of Bend It Like Beckham.
The constant cell phone chatter and pervasive split screen do little to prop up a limp, poorly structured screenplay.
Bright, good-spirited and blissfully short for Bollywood, at a mere 118 minutes.
There's enough schmaltz in the romancer Flavors to keep a second-rate TV sit-com going for an entire season, and then some.
This is light fare, but it draws its strength from a strong ensemble cast, in the spirit of Love Actually, and the sweetness of its characters.
A pleasing sendup of dating, high-tech contract employment and the immigrant experience. If you're Indian-American, you can add five or six stars to any critic's rating.
The cast, a mix of beauty-contest winners, models, veteran actors and newcomers, is as diverse as the characters they play and work together surprisingly smoothly.
Flavorless.
