Ravi Patel meets a red headed American woman and falls in love.

All hell breaks loose.

Meet the Patels (2015)

A docudrama featuring the real family.

Written, directed and filmed by the Patel daughter.

this is an American original and the first film that I have seen about Indian assimilation in this country.

It is very well done. The people are fun to watch. They try hard to conform to the old ways but fail at most of the real tests. The Dad is a patriarch with a heart of gold.

I loved it. A mix of animation and live action. Everyone plays themselves but are also aware of the camera. What comes out is a hybrid along with a bunch of love and affection.

A 3 out of Netflix5.
