The Namesake Movie Review
Posted on | July 30, 2009 |
The Namesake is a generational family saga that everyone can relate to, especially those like me who sometimes forget their heritage. Mira Nair is a quality director that seems to be one of the few people who can pull a movie like this off, and have it play in theaters vs. going straight onto DVD.
It carries with it many morals and qualities of Indian culture little known to many people in America. It’s emotional, its deep, it’s entertaining, and flows beautifully with a surprising soundtrack. Kal Penn (aka. Kumar!) shows he can hold down a serious role with depth and substance. In closing, my friend Nick liked it, which doesn’t happen too often… so take that as it’s a must see!
