Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2/4 --
A feather-light romantic comedy that's laborious when it ought to be effervescent; The Other End of the Line is the latest exchange in an awkward conversation between two film industries.

The Other End of the Line ends up being a five-minute ad for buyer's insurance instead of an interminable interracial, international, intercultural romantic comedy.

The movie is like a glass of Sprite that has been left on the counter too long: transparent, sweet and flat.
Globe and Mail
While ostensibly celebrating global connectivity, this film does so from the perspective of an American audience for whom India is an idea rather than a place.

The Other End of the Line isn't always convincing on the romance front. As a comedy about culture clash, however, The Other End of the Line works nicely.
Jam! Movies
Rating: 2/4 --
By the time the filmmakers have set up all the story lines that will blend for a very long third act, the predictability factor has become all but unbearable.

Product Description:
Clashing cultures and longing hearts collide in director James Dodson's THE OTHER END OF THE LINE, a charming comedy about global love connections. As the film opens we meet Granger Woodruff (Jesse Metcalfe of DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES), an advertising hotshot desperate to win over a demanding new client (Larry Miller). Halfway around the world, someone else is taking an active interest in Granger: Priya Sethi (Bollywood star Shriya Saran), an India-based service rep for one of Granger's credit cards. When Priya--pretending to be San Franciscan "Jennifer David"--contacts Granger about fraudulent charges, they strike up a casual flirtation that causes both to question their respective romantic prospects: he, a diva-like girlfriend (Sara Foster); she, an arranged marriage to a mama's boy of a suitor. Priya impulsively accepts Granger's invitation to meet her in San Francisco, where she accidentally meets him not as her alter ego but as her idealistic self. But with Priya's traditionalist family and Granger's domineering girlfriend in hot pursuit, it isn't long before the two are forced to confront their true identities and intentions. And as the cultural divide widens between them, Priya and Granger must find the courage to build a bridge across the hurdles to their budding relationship. With its appealing leads and amusing supporting cast, THE OTHER END OF THE LINE is a sweet-natured romantic fantasy that poses real questions about how love and truth can bring individuals and cultures together in today's world.
