Actually the girlfriend portrayal was spot on!!! I could see a spoiled upper class only child acting just like Max.... Let's face it Americans for the most part are spoiled, and this is coming from an American.
@ialwaysforgetmyid2 SPOILERS - I agree, the white girlfriend in this really was a cartoon. It would have been much more realistic and meaningful if they portrayed her as a nice person, and it didn't work out because Gogol felt guilty at moving away from his heritage.

@TokyoSpike I think she was a realistic portrayal, some people are like that. But more importantly she's meant to show the clumsiness of having to bridge two worlds.
@ialwaysforgetmyid2 they're always trying to vulgarize and barbarize american society and culture. we have our faults- sure -but it's never as base as they like to make it seem. i would never address my gf's parents by their 1st names; not unless it was absolutely insisted upon. rubbish, is right.
@BigOldMrKnish yeah i know i agree. im half paki half american and i know its not that bad. they kinda portray americans as really clueless about other ppls cultures whch sometimes is true but not always. i like each portray each other by exaggerating their faults
lol The whole dinner scene was among the most awkward 'meeting the new bf/bg' movie scenes I've ever seen.. lol

@ialwaysforgetmyid2 I know right - you could see the shock reaction on Ashima's face when Max used her 1st name. Talk about disrespectful.
