Title: much better than i expected
Review: Aishwarya Rai's acting leaves a lot to be desired-- it's not at all bad, just not terribly notable. However, she plays this role with a kind of innocence and charm that make certain scenes that could be hokey, really pleasent to watch. She & Dylan McDermott have very good chemistry. The film is sexy and sensual all the way through. The back-story is a bit flimsy, but let's face it-- we're not watching this movie for the character's past, but for their present. Visually, it's stunning. Loved the saris, loved the mis-en-scene of the spice shop. Well done.
