Audience Reviews for Meet the Patels

  • Oct 15, 2015
    An interesting look at the world of modern arranged marriages featuring a real doofus who finally realizes at the end of the film what the viewer knows from the start..no spoilers provided. With a more compelling main character, this film would be a heck of a lot more meaningful.
