Rolling Stone -
Get your titles straight -- this is the good one, and a roaring good time.

Dallas Observer -
There is some meandering, episodic raggedness to the plotting, but Khan-Din's dialogue has a fine, naturalistic flow, and the young, debuting director O'Donnell, who's neither English nor Pakistani but Irish, skillfully keeps the material from showing too clearly its theatrical origins.

Charlotte Observer -
Examines Muslim family's religious warfare.

Village Voice -
Largely a showcase for Puri, and he rises to the occasion with a performance that bursts from the screen and tears into your heart.

Boston Globe -
This engaging ensemble comedy that could have been called ''Father Doesn't Know Best.''
