BEDA: Movie Review and general musing

So I am starting this whole BEDA thing a little late but I thought better late then never. I have never thought of myself as a writer but I am a very opinionated person so why not get my thought process out into the world.

Shades of Ray

Ever wonder what is it like to live inbetween two cultures, Ray a half Pakistani half Caucasian actor living in LA discovers himself while parents go through some marriage struggles. This movie really resonated with me because I can really relate to Ray's (played by Zachery Levi) struggle with not fitting in with either of his cultures, I am half Trinidadian and half Syrian and the only other ppl I know with that mix is my 3 older sisters. Jaffar Mahmood the writer/director defiantly nows what it is like to grow up muslim in america, one the funniest moment is when Ray says he doesn't eat pork and his friend Sal (Fran Kranz) mocks him because that is the only Islamic thing he follows.

One thing that I really did not like is the 5 different endings, this is a romantic comedy so you know how it is gonna end you are not gonna trick the audience by fading out to black. Another issue I had is one you will have if you like Chuck as much as I do, it is very hard for my to really believe that Zachery Levi is half Paki b/c all I could see is the dorky Buy More employee.

I don't want to give away the whole movie so I will just leave it at that, if you have Netflix I defiantly suggest you go watch Shades of Ray and tell me what you think in the comments.
