Bicycle Bride (2010) Reviews
Funny and Uplifting
Bicycle Bride is a surprising combination of meaningful themes and funny, campy moments. There are hilarious details reminiscent of Almodovar films, especially the wig-wearing older female and prankster friend of the lead. "James Dean" is a surprising name for someone from Sweden, but the lead character's sincerity and serious charm are a nice contrast to the other characters. I particularly liked the writing and portrayal of the lead female's mother. Bicycle Bride is both funny and uplifting. Director Zee has a lot of promise, reminding me again of Almodovar at this point in his career. It will be interesting to see what's coming next from Zee.
Love and Bicycles
I seriously enjoyed this film! I typically don't go for romantic comedies but Bicycle Bride was funny and heartwarming, without being too campy or cheesy. The film's main character Beena, played by the beautiful Melanie Kannokada (former Miss India America), is a strong, modern Indian-American woman struggling with her family's traditional Indian values. Beena's parents wish her to marry an Indian man named Bubba, but Beena believes the choice of partner should be hers to make. I found Bicycle Bride to be fun and inspiring and well worth the price of admission. I highly recommend it for men and women alike. So hop on your bike and check it out! See Bicycle Bride with your friends or take a date...you won't be sorry!
Bicycle Bride is much more than a romantic comedy...
Bicycle Bride is an independent film full of life, love and laughter. The story takes place in scenic San Francisco where Beena, an Indian-American girl (played by Melanie Kannokada) falls for James Dean (Andreas Wilson), a Swedish man. Although Beena and James deeply care for one another, Beena's family has other plans for her. Beena's mother has arranged for her to marry an Indian man named Bubba. The conflict between Indian tradition and western feminism sets the table for this riotous comedic gem. However, Bicycle Bride is much more than a romantic comedy - it is also a social commentary about gender roles in the Indian culture and the tradition of arranged marriage. So go see Bicycle Bride! It will make you smile, it will make you laugh and it might even make you think!
Clashes of 2 cultures
What happens when two different cultures clash together? Two different cultures can come with totally different mindsets. Of course each side thinks the other is ignorant because of the differences. So, this story will take you to the inside of people lives that have to live through it. It's a story that teaches you to achieve what your heart desires and not what others want for you. You learn to fight with passion and patience. The mother of the main girl plays a strong role. The main girl doesn't only posses good looks but also good talent. Family oriented and funny so for a good time, take your whole family too see this film. Waiting to see what Mr. Hassan will bring to the table next time.
Comedy and informative
I found this movie to be a true story for many and seen within the light of humor. It kept me interested, laughing and connected to each character which were unique in their own way. I liked the interactions between the different ethnicity during the movie and found a connection between those interactions and mine in everyday life. It was informative in cultural traditions and showed the negatives and positives within a culture. It was also informative to share a struggle which some cultures might experience in living in the United States and not in their home country. Great movie to watch...you will get some good laughs in :)
