Synopsis

This unconventional gay romantic comedy begins when a tour bus pulls up in front of faded actress Delilah Leigh's house and we meet the oddly masculine star of old horror movies and her suspiciously frumpy assistant Delia.

Review

How about a sweet innocent gay romance? Are you sick of violent thrillers and dark dramas? Well, if so, take a look at Bollywood & Vine, a charming low budget indie we enjoyed. Bhuvan leaves his family in India to make it rich in Hollywood and return to Bollywood triumphant. Well he gets to Hollywood but ends up driving a Volkswagen camper around on a star search tour. At the home of his favorite faded horror star he sends greetings each day. While the star Delilah Leigh wants to answer his bullhorned messages, she feels she can't. She needs to tighten up her face and both she and her son sell vinyl siding by phone -- not exactly the kind of career that pays for plastic surgery. And speaking of Delilah's son, Devin is gay, adorable and on the search for husband. So Devin and mom concoct a scheme, he'll dress up as the film star and pretend for the tour. Bhuvan is enchanted with who he thinks Delilah is and the rest is romantic history.

With obviously a small budget, this film has only the acting and story to depend on. Horror director Donald Farmer and his directing partner Edward Jordan have done a beautiful job telling us the story and the whole cast is first-rate. Kudos to Skye Aubrey as Delilah Leigh, she presents a warm and attractive character who loves her gay son and even schemes to match him up with the right boy.

0 (No Stars) I thought it was awful

I rented this movie thinking it would be rather cute. Big mistake. It was so badly acted; it wasn't even laughable. I usually like low budget movies, but not this one

A cute movie and a shoestring with heart

So what can be done with a cute story, little money, and the best of intentions? BOLLYWOOD & VINE is the answer. This movie is at turns sweet and silly. As long as the viewer suspends disbelief (cynics will have many troubles with the flick), then all is well.

My only problem with the film, the only reason I did not give it 4 stars is because the relationship between the two male leads was too sweet at times. I would have liked a little fire to sizzle this comedy (at least make the kisses more passionate). But otherwise, it made me laugh and smile (and the handsome guys definitely kept my attention too).
