Being Indian and born and raised in California, I have a new found respect for my parents after watching this movie. I have always loved them and respected them but this feeling that I have gained from this movie cannot be put into words. Wonderful movie!

I have seen The Namesake for the first time recently and had not heard of the book. I thought the movie was amazing and the Cast phenominal! It was truly moving. I think that Kal Penn is a wonderful actor but was so impressed by the women in the film. They all had such a strong presence. Its nice to see the diversity between functioning in society as an American and still capturing your heritage that occurs at home.

It is the most wonderful, moving film, the actress Tabu was especially enchanting to watch, as were all the other actors.
It is a film that touches and moves you. It talks about family values, learning about your roots and not losing where you come from and your heritage and at the same time appreciating all that immigrant parents have done to try to better their childrens' futures and lives.
Beautiful filming and scenery in India and New York. I have watched it many times and would never tire of it.
It's poetic, romantic and would suit any audience.
A real gem and I would like to read the book, hoping that it doesn't disappoint as the film is now definitely one of my favourites!
