Five Reasons Why I Like This Movie
1. It’s funny. Really funny. I like that it has subtle humor, as well as some physical humor. I remember that it had the theatre laughing quite loudly when I first saw it, which is always a nice environment to watch a comedy in. It’s so awkward when something that is supposed to be funny gets a pathetic reaction. But that’s another story.
2. Great music placed at the right moments. Where Do You Go To My Lovely, especially. And I love Aux Champs Elysees at the end there.
3. It’s gorgeous. It really pays tribute to the India’s beauty and traditions. Makes me really want to get a car in a train and spend a few days travelling the Indian countryside. Or any countryside, really.
4. The fact that there’s a man-eating tiger in it. Again, mixing the subtle with the ridiculous. Come on now, you know you love it.
5. Adrien Brody as Peter Whitman. I’ve never really found him to be attractive, but he sure is in this movie. Love the lankiness, the big sunglasses, those pink boxers, and that suit. And Peter has some of the best lines of the movie.
So yeah, I recommend this movie.
