Not bad, just terribly mild.

The story may not engage the mind, but your saliva glands will be working overtime.

Time Out

No shortage of appetising ingredients here, yet the execution sadly fails to make the most of them.

Jadoo is the delightful result when you mix 'Bend it Like Beckham' meets 'Waitress'; a simple, enjoyable comedy that will make your stomach growl.

Rated: 3.5/5

A warm comedy that neatly balances its specific and more general themes and is liberally seasoned with laughs.

Rated: 3/5

Colourful and engaging, this subculture comedy keeps us smiling with a mouth-watering mix of delicious food and lively characters.

Enjoyable light comedy about feuding brothers but the direction is handled extremely commercially.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Had a high expectation of this movie but turn out to be not that good. Family conflict around Indian recipes was the backbone of the movie. Lacking Indian food footprints though is a pity.

Never would've watched this if it hadn't been set in Leicester. The story was slight, and it felt like it ended about 15 minutes too early. But, on the whole OK-ish.

A gem of a film, funny, tender, crossing borders: a story of food, feud, family and live everyone can relate to. The cast is superb! More indie films pleaassse!

...the film isn't some horrible, unlikable mess. It's more just harmless and well-meaning but vague and uninvolving film that exists. At least it's short. Full Review available at: http://timthemagicowl.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/jadoo-2013.html
