GIVE ME A BREAK!!! why not gave the productionmoney to charity and you guys could still write off when filing yourincome taxes? throw away this kinda money is a capital crime!

There are no surprises here, with father-son crisis and reconciliation, scaled-down quasi-Bollywood production numbers and the climactic big game all arriving on cue.

With a script credited to five writers including its star Vinay Virmani, it is a movie that keeps skating madly off in different directions and desperately needs more coaching than director Robert Lieberman provides.

[A] pleasant timewaster, which has a good cast but a not-so-good script.

A fun warm movie!

This is a great little movie. Easy and fun to watch. It is cliché andpredictable at times, especially towards the end but that does not takeaway from the heart warming story that is at the core of this movie.The music is great and the few Bollywood type scenes add to the fun andfestivity of the movie. Vinay Virmani gives a great performance as doesCamilla Belle and Rob Lowe. The best performance of the show however is"the dad" Anupam Kher. His stern yet tender performance is believablefrom the very start of the movie. Russell Peters seemed a bit stiff andnot nearly as funny as his stand up but that does not slow down thismovie. A great popcorn movie.

a Fun Movie

Speedy Singhs is a smart little surprise package. It's a cheerful filmthat makes you smile with its subtle humor, its repartee-filledscreenplay, its deftness at handling the umpteen relationships and itsfinely-nuanced performances. Leading this pack of oddballs is RussellPeters who packs a punch as the offensive, scheming Punjabi groom whonot only wants the suitable Punjabi girl as his bride but also herdad's business which might just be handed over to the hockey enthusiastnephew, Rajveer. Rajveer, on his part, is equally charming as thedie-hard hockey player who smiles his way through all the lows andnever loses focus, not even when his dad throws him out of thehouse.But more than the performances -- and the hockey matches -- it isthe sundry relationships that form the core of the film. Rajveer'sunflinching bond with his family, his tentative romance with lawstudent Camille Bell, his highs and lows with coach Winters, hiscamaraderie with his team mates and his love-hate relationship withbro-in-law Russell Peters make for some compelling viewing. A littlemore spice and edge to the delineation of the game itself would havemade the film an action-packed adventure too. Nevertheless, SpeedySinghs, with a guest appearance by Akshay Kumar (as himself), is anentertaining watch. Its nothing special about this movie but still...Itkeeps smiles on your faces while watching it....Thumbs up for this entertainer..watch it!

Game misconduct!

I hoped that this would be an enjoyable movie, considering that thevery funny Russell Peters was in it; unfortunately, it was LAME.The jokes generally fell flat. Pot calling the kettle black? Really?! Iam surprised that we never heard, "I know you are, but what am I?" Potcalling the kettle brown would have been funnier.The plot had no periods of intensity ... certainly nothing that made megive a rat's ass about what happened and nothing worthy of beingfollowed by "denouement".When Raj is served the very hot dish at Patel's, and his love interest,Melissa, eats it, she is desperate for a glass of water. In that scene,Raj knocks over the glass then hands it to her. It was very obviousthat there was no liquid in the glass before or after it was knockedover. Presumably the "knocking over" was an error. Was this such a lowbudget movie that they could not shoot another take to make it evenlook remotely real?!How is it that Raj has a Canadian accent, but his younger brother hasan Indian accent, even if only slight? Were they not both raised in thesame household in Canada?The appearance of Drake in the movie (apparently a friend of RussellPeters in really life) was oh-so-contrived. While it is possible thatsomeone of his calibre would be hanging out at the same bar as theseregular Joes, even if he were, we are expected to believe that he wouldsing for someone - someone he does not know - just because they askedhim (and God knows how Raj got past his entourage to even ask him)?The whole issue with turbans vs. helmets - presumably, a criticalmoment - was brought up so casually and then "solved" so casually itwas laughable. And Raj was able to have ancient-style Sikh warriorhelmets retrofitted to CSA standards - and thus be acceptable for playin the league - within a week (yes, the dialogue even mentioned thatthey only had a week)?! Really?! Come on! Extremely disappointing. Perhaps, Mr. Peters, like Brent Butt provedwith "Corner Gas", you should stick to stand-up ... you're much funnierthere.

Worst film i have ever watched.

This is the worst film to probably ever come out of production. Theplot was awful, the acting was corny as hell. The lead actor was trulyand utterly awful i don't know who thought that hiring him was a goodidea. The storyline was so typical and boring, it was cringe worthy ifI'm honest, i actually went to get a refund after watching the film asit was that bad, i still plan to sue the cinema for even putting thefilm up for public viewing, it is moronic to say the least. The songswere terrible in the film, i was expecting Rick Ross or possibly TempaT but instead it was some lame Bollywood singers who really made it achore to listen to.
