Raising Helen

I had another great evening, but thanks only to the company & not the movie.

Ok, granted, it’s rather unfair to do a review of a movie one has only seen half of… But the truth is, that it was dull. Rather boring even.

We had travelled all the way from Fame (Andheri) to Inox (Nariman Point) -talk about Mumbai Darshan - and it really wasn’t worth it.

Helen (single, happening career woman) is enjoying her life when suddenly her sis dies & leaves her in charge of her three kids… which is particularly distressing to the middle sibling (Joan Cusack) who’s a mum par excellence (or so we should believe)… Fine so far - one would imagine lots of laughs possible.

But help. Even the guy from “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” (John Corbett) who was the romantic interest “Pastor Dan”, couldn’t pull in the laughs - am I mistaken… was this NOT supposed to be a romantic COMEDY???

It was already really late - we went for the 11.45pm show (!) so decided to cut our losses & head home.

Let Helen raise herself I say.
