Kyle MacLachlan does a very good imitation Cary Grant in this forced and contrived tale.

There are two crucial bits of miscasting, one bad, one good, both distracting. Sep 30, 2004 | Rating: C+

Much of the problem with Touch of Pink rests with Mistry, whose nice guy appeal registers even less than it did in his previous starring vehicles, The Guru and The Mystic Masseur. Sep 3, 2004 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

MacLachlan's strong jaw line and his valiant attempt to act so very Cary aren't enough to save this film. Aug 13, 2004 | Full Review…

As much as it aspires to mimic the charm of old Cary Grant pictures, Touch of Pink is hardly worthy of comparison to even the least of Grant's films. Aug 13, 2004 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

A mildly amusing gay comedy, with the only novel point of Cary Grant serving as a spiritual mentor; the rest is formula. Jul 26, 2005 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

[It's] a blend of trite plot points and obnoxious characters, held together by the notion that you should be watching something else instead. Jan 12, 2005 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

Enjoyable time filler, Sue Mathew is great fun as the mother.
What do you get when you're gay AND you come from a culture that ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT ALLOW IT?!?!? You create an imaginary friend who's a lot like a classic movie star from Hollywood's golden age so that he may give you advice as to what to do. This movie is soooo cute. It's basically the same storyline as Bend It Like Beckham, except there's no soccer and the main character in this movie is a gay man who likes playing with a different sort of balls. Alim must hide the fact that he's gay to his mother, a stereotypically conservative Indian woman who is coming to visit him. The comedy that ensues is somewhat predictable but also very funny and endearing. Kyle MacLachlan is superb as the Spirit of Cary Grant and is probably one of his better performances in recent memory! Except for his role in Showgirls, of course! Kidding. Watch this movie. It'll make you laugh-- or at least chuckle and relax.
