A Punjabi Pygmalion, director Lorraine Senna's Americanizing Shelley is a sweet-natured, often charming twist on the assimilation comedy.
Variety
With its tired reworking of Pygmalion and stiff, amateurish staging, Americanizing Shelley is clearly all about one thing: Gujral. She's cute, but by the end of this ego trip, she's more insufferable than adorable.

Washington Post
Americanizing Shelley isn't original, or the least bit believable, but it's so lovingly made that one's usual resistance to such clichés falls away.

Product Description:
East meets West in this smart update of the classic culture-clash comedy. Mixing the well-worn formulas of Hollywood and Bollywood, AMERICANIZING SHELLEY whips up a spicy masala that warms the heart and tickles the funnybone. When a big-time film exec (Beau Bridges) challenges a Tinseltown upstart to transform a homespun Indian girl into a tried-and-true American, it leads to a hilarious tug of war between cultures. And as the deadline approaches, our young hero may learn more about himself, and love, than he expected.
