Hollywood - Bollywood ???

Rating: 10/10 (12 March 2005)

I rarely comment on movies, only ones that really move me. This is a 21st century classic, for reasons people don't even realise.
This has that 80s good feel all over it! The 80s classics had great dance numbers, nice to see people trying it again.
The amazing thing is that, people don't realise this movie has "bollywood" all over it. Bollywood is all about, love, and people falling in love... The dancing at the end??? Bollywood.
This is why bollywood works, and they don't *EVER* change the formula. Not ever. The formula? Here it is!
Guy Meets Girl.
(dance,comedy number)
Guy Falls for Girl.
(dance,comedy number)
Guy Chases Girl, Girl eventually falls for Guy.
(dance,comedy number)
Stuff happens to mess it up.
(dance,comedy number)
Guy/Girl get together.
(dance,comedy number)
Girl and Guy get married and live happily ever after.
It works OK? So why change it?
Hitch is the same, works perfectly, will smith appeals to everyone, great cast.
The only problem is it could have done with more dance numbers..! ;-)
Watch it. This is true American Bollywood at it's best, because this is what life is all about ultimately. Falling in Love, being happy and having a good time. Simple Really. Hollywood should just take a leaf out of Bollywood, just churn more of these out - They hit the buttons every time!!!!
Now you know why bollywood movies are 3 hours long. I mean, it's too short, or appears that way.
