A movie about growing up in the US in the late 70s/early 80s. In a lot of ways reminiscent of The Wonder Years, except in a disapproving Indian family instead of an American one.
I was excited to see Jason Lee here - he isn't in a ton of movies, and he always commanda every scene he's in. Nothing different here, he plays his role as a prominent side character masterfully as always.
There is one pretty huge surprise - other reviews mention it but I won't spoil it here. I think it'll make a lot of American viewers uncomfortable, but thinking about it rationally, you can see both sides.
Maybe it's nostalgia of my own childhood, maybe it's Jason Lee, but I really loved this one and couldn't turn away. Highly recommended - I'm surprised it wasn't a much more popular movie.
