Rating:  - Just Awesome!
When the first copy got scratched, we bought a second one. This is the kind of movie you just need to watch and enjoy - funny and serious, dealing with real issues, and so well done! Of course, this movie is meant for the culturally and racially open minded people - this movie speaks about tolerance and cultural clashes and integration, all things that should be a part of our lives, daily and forever!
A Must-See!

Rating:  - good cast, good stroy, sometimes to exagerating
I have to say, that I liked the movie "East is East" a lot even if I think that sometimes there happened to much in such a short time...
The story is a good one because I think that things that are shown in the movie are matter of fact(problems between the first and the second generation of Muslims, the father desperately hanging on to traditions&beating his beloved wife who is more standing behind her children than behind him...)!
The cast was very well chosen-every actor did such a good job-from the little shy boy Sajid to the dominant father George!
I really can imagine that(in Muslim famlilies living in a "notmuslim" country/city)life goes like this-with a lot of different trouble and various problems for each single person...
It's a movie for people who like to laugh and who can still stay thoughtful...
Rating:  - watch it
This movie is about an english family with a pakistani father. It deals with the problems, they have with each other, because the children are more english, but the father wants them to be like pakistanis. There are also many other cultural, religious and social problems. I think, it has a great humour and it's also very exciting to watch, because of the unexpected turns. I would recommend it highly!
Rating: - FOOO!!!
To my mind the film 'East is East' lives from the brillant characs - they r not the super-hero role-model beauty-queen people, but ordinary people like u and me and that's why they fit in so perfect in the whole story - AND from a lot of stereotypes.
The story herself is presented a bit strange: it's dealt with with serious problems - but in a strange way.
On the one hand, there is shown the gap between modernity and past, between Pakistani and English culture, but on the other bloody hand there is no bloody soltution for this bastard-conflict, but even somehow a justification for the bloody father's attitude.
His eldest son doesn't follow the father's order of getting married and -TADA- he gets gay, what is presented in a very negative way. This is at the same time the second conflict - thout any solution this time.
So taking all in consideration all aspects, I'd say the movie is too strange, too stereotype.
Rating: - east is east
The movie "East is Eas" shows the daily life of an english-pakistani family, in a funny but sometimes to exaggerating way. The main topics of the movie are the religious conflict and the generation conflict between the father and his children. The dominating father tries to force his family in the Pakistani traditions like arranged marriage and circumcision. I liked the funny style but I think there is put to much in one movie.
What I mean is that you can find almost every prejudice for muslims in one film as you can imagine. I think a positive point is that the actors are very good especially Sajid is very impressing because the young actor is very convincing in playing the tragic, shy and innocent boy.
Taking everything in consideration you can say that the movie is well done and it makes you think about the problems about the second or third generation of immigrants.
Sers.
