Who'll love it
Made for romantics and anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved It Happened One Night, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Funny with heart, romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 2 hr 21 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.
  • It's in Hindi, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Audiences were cooler on it than critics.

Two straight guys pretend to be a gay couple to secure a posh Miami apartment, but fall for their gorgeous roommate. Hilarity ensues as they strive to convince everyone of the ruse while secretly trying to win her heart.
