Nina's Heavenly Delights is just like Bend It Like Beckham, only with food instead of soccer. And Scotland instead of England. And Parminder Nagra ends up with Keira Knightley.It might not be great but it's a thoroughly enjoyable trifle.
Before the film started, the director came out and warned us that there weren't any sex scenes and jokingly commented that her film contained "food porn". She was right. A lot of the plot involves Nina teaching a Scottish girl how to make Indian food, and the cooking scenes were hot. Watching two cute girls flirtatiously prepare ethnic food combines too many of my favorite things to ignore. There was also some stuff about a ghost dad, saving the family restaurant, winning a cooking competition, and old flames being rekindled. But, honestly, who cares about that when there's good food and chicks making out?
I bet you're wondering if this film contains a big Bollywood-inspired musical number. But do you really have to ask?
