Review of Anita & Me

Anita & Me (2002)
7/10
Very Good - come without expectations
4 March 2006
A very good film. Do not come with preconceptions, it is not East is East, Bend it like Beckham. After all you don't expect all movies written about the US or by Americans to be like How the West was won.

It accurately reflects the times and the attitudes. Nice cast, a bit ham acted in places but otherwise good. The two actors who played Meena and Anita were very good. I cannot understand the comments about the midlands accents, they were where they should have been. The with-it vicar was not out of place mind! The sound track was really good and reminded both me and the wife of our teens.

OK, a bit pre the Kumars at No 42 but personally I found this to be a very entertaining film. It stands in it's own right.
