The acting was wooden and cringe-worthy and the script was so horrible, I started skimming to the end of the movie just to see how it would all play out. Overall, it was a B (or C?) movie and Jesse Metcalfe was just in it because he's eye-candy, not because he can act. The comic relief with the Indian families was the only thing that made it bearable. It could've been a great romantic comedy if: (1) they used actors who immersed themselves in their roles, not pretended they were putting on a play, (2) took the cheesy-ness out of the script, (3) had a bit more of a work up into the romance. It was in no way genuine. Too bad - it had the potential of being better.

Sometimes when you watch a movie, you shouldn't be too serious. After all, not everything can happen in real life. I liked this movie because of the good chemistry between the two leading actors, and those romantic scenes. There were some problems. For example, can Indian citizens get visas to the USA so easily? If that is the case, there would be a lot of Indians coming to the USA now. Second, can Granger actually ask to meet a girl without even seeing her pictures first? After all, he can just ask her to send him a picture via the email. Third, the speech Granger gave at his friend's wedding just doesn't sound real. And he stopped talking and had to rush to the airport right away, that is not what a normal person will do. Fourth, the whole call center people stopped working while they talk, and the whole group clapped their hands when they kissed. That is just unreal. I have seen a few Indian and US movies, it seems that those movies are always about marriage. Indian daughters want to find some nice husbands who live in the USA to marry to. Anyway, I enjoyed watching this movie despite a few blemishes.

"The Other End of the Line" is a decent film but it frustrated me to no end. It seemed that there was an awful lot of good but also a lot of clichés and a plot that seemed to need some editing. However, on balance, it's still worth seeing this multinational production. When the film begins, you are introduced to and American named Granger--an incredibly shallow and difficult to like guy. One day, he receives a phone call from his credit card company, as his credit card has been compromised. Because him number has been stolen, he ends up spending a lot of time on the phone with the credit card rep, Priya. However, like many companies, they outsource this work to India and Priya has learned well to sound just like an American--and she tells Granger she lives in San Francisco, not Mumbai. Over time, the pair talk more and more and Granger becomes interested in actually meeting her face to face. After all, his job is taking him to San Francisco. So, she hops a plane to San Francisco to meet him. However, she makes a lot of insane choices. First, she does NOT meet him in their prearranged location. Second, they end up meeting by chance and they begin to date--and she does NOT tell him that she's the lady on the phone. Third, she never tells him she's engaged--and this ends up causing LOTS of problems when her very protective parents drop everything and chase Priya to America. Through some silly misunderstandings, they think Granger has kidnapped her! What's next? See the film. So here are the problems with the film. First, when the film begins Granger is a shallow, selfish jerk and is sleeping with another shallow, selfish jerk. This makes it VERY hard to care about him. Second, while you initially really like Priya, she lies again and again for practically no reason at all and ends up behaving rather selfishly herself. You know that by convention they SHOULD eventually have their happy ending together, but the writers just didn't provide the proper context for this. But, on the plus side, if you can ignore the clichés and predictability of the film, the supporting characters are WONDERFUL and the film has a nice sense of humor. In particular, Priya's father (Anupam Kher--who is ALWAYS wonderful) and Granger's boss (Larry Miller--I loved his bluntness combined with his sweetness) made the film very enjoyable. Overall, I say this is a very flawed but enjoyable film. Had they simply polished a few of the sharp edges, it could have been great. As is, it's a decent enough date movie if you are not especially demanding. Odd, though, how the weakest aspect of the film are the two main characters.

A pretty generic and formulaic story is fortunately saved by able, charming performances. The chemistry between the leads is good. Priya as a character is well-drawn, she is beautiful, and her internal conflict being trying to free herself from the shackles of the responsibilities of an indian woman within an indian family is interesting. The build-up to the romance and the conflict are quite predicable but are nevertheless fun to watch. There's comedy that's mostly coming from Priya's parents. Overall, The other end of the line adds nothing to the romantic comedy genre apart from being cross-cultural, but it's enjoyable.

This is an old formula for a romantic comedy, but if it is done well, it is still enjoyable to watch. It is nice to have something to watch which is relaxing after seeing some of the tense thrillers I also like to watch. The one thing that bugged me about this movie is the girl works as a tech support phone operator in India for an American company. Her big advantage is that she can sound "American" and people don't know she is in India. Why does that bug me? Because it reminds me of the thousands of jobs that have been outsourced to other countries for cheap labor at a time when our country is in the biggest recession since the 30s. It was hard for me to be sympathetic to the characters when in the back of my mind, I kept thinking of the "outsourcing" problem. I did like the actors.

I was entertained from beginning to end, which is all I asked for. So I give it 10 stars. The main characters were very well developed. I do think they should have brought up more about the daughter making more than her father. And why did Granger go back for her at the end? Because he loved her or wanted to marry her? Long distance relationship....I don't know.... Indian family probably wouldn't go for it either. They should have made the relationship seem stronger from his end as well. But overall, fun to watch. Very sweet movie, especially for interracial couples. Kind of like Bend It Like Beckham, without the sports, and with a hotter guy.

I really liked the movie and i'am not sure as to why it is rated sooo low, the chemistry between jesse metcalfe and shreya is great in the movie,their conversations on the phone are nicely shot,i also like the scene where jesse walks towards her in the hotel and does not recognize her.jesse looks more mature and even more attractive in this movie.he fits in the role just right. anupam kher is really funny and has done a good job,except for few scenes like the way mumbai is shown looks like as if its picked up from some documentary, and the last kissing scene would have been better without all those call center employees watching them doing that.but it gives a nice refreshing feeling after watching the movie. so go see it.
