American-born Ray Rehman comes home one night to find his Pakistani father on his doorstep. Ray's Caucasian mother threw him out. It's an awkward time for his father to move in, as Ray just proposed to his girlfriend—who hasn't given him an answer. While trying to get his parents back together, Ray meets a South Asian girl of mixed descent, just like him, and must decide where his identity truly lies. Mahmood’s first feature is a charming mix of comedy and pathos, with a fantastic lead performance by Zachary Levi (TV’s Chuck).

Sweet, funny, and entertaining, but the ending was a little too formulaic for me. This film would appeal to a wide audience.
