I don't think this movie was funny. It was more like a tragic drama where director went to limits to create funny situations by making fun of a particular ethnic group. At times he was successful but the situations seemed far from reality. For example who would like to have his good looking sons marry one of the ugliest girls available.
C'mon, we have seen people from SE Asia and arranged marriages. And I have yet to see a British women getting slapped by a Paki husband. Those people who do not have any understanding of Islam and Pakistanis in general may find this amusing, others would wonder what Islamic culture director was trying to ridicule. No wonder it did good business in UK. Such controvercial topics are always good money-makers. Most of the people watch such movies out of curiosity....
@zigzagdunia yeah becos most of the Muslims in my country, be they Pakitani , Tamils or Malays follow Imam Syafiee.. We dun touch dogs... But i guess it's a big world out there..
@sonababy2611 Yeah.. Some Muslims i personally know and Jews i heard from other people, did tasted pork... I did alcohol and drugs in the past... But somehow i never get at the bacon part... Something about swine just turned my appetite off..
@1965 You mentally deficient kunt. your such a racist wanker just because your life sucks you wish to blame your failure over other peoples success claiming that half these immigrants are bad .. Mate your just jealous that their IQ is greater than yours and that you have nothing better to do in your tiresome life where your brain lacks Reality you gay wanker. Go do one your a man with no GCSE's and a man who's living of the dol lucky the government are making cuts so people like you can fucking

This movie was set before they starting making bombs and trying to kill the people who gave them a country to live in, talk about the dog biting the hand!
I loved this movie when i watched it 12 yrs ago! It is so representative - okay a bit stretched - but definitely a lot of truth of Pakistani society in England.
my cousin had an arranged marriage. He wasnt exactly thrilled about it. However the girl that his parents arranged for him to marry was actually quite pretty. They've been married 6 years and had a daughter. Somehow that made it work
@paris23101992 ya aber wir wollten eigentlich einen anderen film gucken (paul is dead). Der englischlehrer war nur zu blöd um den film auf eine cd zu brennen :D Hat er geschafft aber der pc konnte es nicht lesen ^^ deswegen haben wir east ist east geguckt
I love this movie - it's hilarious. Where can I find this movie? I've been trying to look for them in Blockbuster here in Sydney but I couldn't find any.
Takes me back to my college days! Watched it 3 times at the movies, (with girlfriend, then mates, then school mates!) can't believe how time flys by, it's almost scary!
Well, considering it's all about a man trying to force his family into doing their lives differently than they wish, I have to disagree with you. I really don't find beating your wife and children or forcing them to marry particularly funny. True, it has some great jokes, but it's far from a comedy.
