World's Fastest Indian

You absolutely must see this wonderful movie before it finishes on the big screen.

No bad guys. No weapons. The hero is an amiable old engineer.
This is the most delightful movie I have seen in years. Trying to come up with a description of it I'm tempted to call it a chick-flick for guys, but that's likely to turn both males and females away from it. But this really is a movie that both males and females should love. Quite a feat.

It is up there with some of my other most favorite movies of all time.

I went to a free promotiobnal screening of this in november last year. It was absolutely beautiful.

What blew me away was how they kept up pace and interest with hardly any of the traditional story techniques. It kept surprising me right to the very end -- even the final text.
And on top of that it is a sweet, sweet movie that somehow avoids the saccharine trap.

Superb.
