There's good support too, especially from Kathy Burke, who steals the film with a short, under-stated burst of classy acting in a key scene ... Go to Full Review Urban Cinefile Critics Urban Cinefile 04/26/2003

02/10/2019 A nice little movie to chill to on a Sunday afternoon See more 11/26/2013 I really enjoyed this movie. I was shocked, although already knowing from history books, how minorities were treated. I also liked the fact that Meena spent the whole film aspiring to be someone else, someone more acceptable to that generation, only to find that you have to be proud of who you are in order to love yourself. See more 03/30/2013 Quite funny & pretty charming :-) See more 02/06/2013 An interesting and different film that was enjoyable and funny. See more 06/15/2012 "I was the first person in this village to ingest a scallop. If that's what progress tastes like, you can keep it!" See more 04/17/2012 It's not a terrible entry into the comedy world by far, but "Anita & Me" simply glosses over violence and systematic racism too easily for it to ever mean anything. The performances are good, with some questionable Birmingham accents at some points, and the plot is nice and even, but it can't help the lack of entertainment and the feel of some minor exploitation.
