    This movies gets all the little thing right. True to life. It is funny and sad, sometimes both at once.

    We've seen the clash of cultures and generations before,--- but never quite so humorously. This time, the focus is on the Pakistanis living in England, and it's quite amazingly done, perky and inventive to the core.

    If there is a weakness in East Is East, it's that Om Puri's character is a little too serious for the comedy surrounding him.

    O'Donnell has a fine eye for the small details of life and the movie feels rich, warm and real .
