The cameos
The stars
The 2nd bananas (Aftab Shivdasani & Amrita Arora as tag-alongs)
The clichés
The stereotypes
The recycles (borrowing for other movies)
The ridiculous lines
Where do you start when everything is just horrible? Um, well you just jump right in and it doesn't matter whether or not you make sense, you can't be worse than this wretched movie. Definitely one of the worst films I have seen in a long while. The cameos by Denise Richards and Sylvester Stallone are both "SHOULDN'T HAVES". The Best of the the cameos was by Brandon Routh (Superman) who enters and exits quickly at the start of the film and handles his scenes and lines very well. The worst: a tie between Denise Richards and Sylvester Stallone "I can't wait to make golden babies with you, with your skin and my eyes..." Denise Richards should have said no not only to that line but the entire script as well but then again it's a recession and she probably needed the extra cash. Although, I find it hard to believe that a Bollywood film would offer her more money than a Hollywood B-movie would. Stallone on the other hand would have faired better had his cameo only been when he appeared to present his stunt double with an achievement award but instead, he has one more scene where he appears as John Rambo to save Bebo and her friend from street L.A. thugs after which he speaks two words in Hindi. He shouldn't have!!!!!!! Ugh!
The film is riddled with every cliché in the book, every stereotype (from implying that all White women are loose, trashy-dressing bimbos to saying that all Black women are fat, loud and unattractive, you name it, it's in this film) and of course in typical Indian Cinema fashion, Indians are portrayed to be superior to every other race, which is why the virtue of Bebo(Kareena Kapoor) is preserved despite her gallivanting around town in the skimpiest and most see-through-bra-less-boob-shaking of her size zero clothing and winding naked in bed with her arch nemesis. I think I just vomited in my mouth a little when Aftab Shivdasani's character showed up to announce to Bebo that despite her being naked in his brother's bed, his brother was a gentleman. Yeah bloody right, if anybody in the audience believed that, well, then I've got a bridge I'd like to sell them. Pardon me as I role my eyes.
Let's not even talk about Kareena trying to force her real life nickname into celluloid immortality having nearly every character call her that and made worse by the fact that there is a rather banal sounding six-year-old written poor excuse for a song entitled 'Bebo me Bebo'. Ugh, okay I just threw up.
At some point in the movie, Bebo says something very sensible "Originals are always better" um, advise Kareena and the director should have taken. Kareena tries to hard to be something that she is not, sometimes you have to wonder if she is even acting at all. I remember when 'Dhoom 2' came out, she commented very vocally in the press, saying that she would have done a better job had she played the lead role of Sunehri (essayed by Aishwarya Rai). Okay, she had her turn her to play a similar western influenced character with her bikinis and kissing scenes, yet it all turned out lackluster. Hrithik kissed Aishwarya and the whole world collectively sighed (heck they even got sued), Bebo kissed Akki (more than 3 times in this film) and all we heard were crickets sounds that left us all with a collective sour taste in our mouths and 2.5 hours of our lives that we can't get back. She even had the guts to try and relive her glory days of 'Ye Mera Dil' from Don where she danced the same routine she did with Shahrukh Khan now with Akshaye Kumar yet nobody even talked about it, obviously because we all felt ripped off and insulted. Just liked when they hyped her up for 'Golmaal Returns' and how she supposedly had a cat woman song that was supposedly better than Beyonce (don't even ask me why they compared her to Beyonce! As if the Drama of Rimii dissing Black women's beauty in Part 1 was not enough) any-who, it was crap (as if somebody as shallow as Kareena can outshine Beyonce).
Kareeena, listen to your own Lines: the original is always better. :-) ^_^
