Default The Namesake

Starring Kal Penn

It's based off of a book by the same name. Obviously a lot of important detail was lost going from book to movie, but it was still well acted. I still loved the film. It's a good story about moving to another country and how hard it is and what things you face growing up a first generation immigrant.

I haven't seen the movie but did read the book. Excellent story. Though I'm not desi, I could relate to most of the story. Well written by the author. Hope to see the movie soon.

I thought it was lame. My wife who read the book told me that the book is much better.
