3/5  "A tasty masala."
-- Jason Anderson, EYE WEEKLY

3/5  "Despite cramming in numerous clichés, Mehta still manages to put a fresh and funny spin on the proceedings."
-- Maya Bellap, BBCI FILMS

  "Deepa Mehta provides an accessible introduction as well as some intelligent observations on the success of Bollywood in the Western world."
-- Ryan Cracknell, MOVIE VIEW

3.5/5  "It's clear that Mehta simply wanted to update her beloved genre for the thousands of Indians who fancy themselves too sophisticated for the cheese-laced spectacles that pack 'em in on the subcontinent."
-- Jason Ferguson, ORLANDO WEEKLY

3.5/5  "Bollywood/Hollywood is a happy, carefree trifle of a movie that is easy to savour because it is so undemanding yet so rewarding."
-- Louis B. Hobson, JAM! MOVIES

3.5/5  "Just charming enough to avoid being entirely annoying."
-- Scott Weinberg, EFILMCRITIC.COM

3.5/5  "Mehta expertly fashions a fascinating hybrid that is sure to delight audiences with its good-natured and well-timed humor, and its unabashed refusal to take itself seriously."
-- Barbara Goslawski, BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE

3.5/5  "Writer-director's Mehta's effort has tons of charm and the whimsy is in the mixture, the intoxicating masala, of cultures and film genres."
-- Bruce Kirkland, JAM! MOVIES

2.5/4  "So genial is the conceit, this is one of those rare pictures that you root for throughout, dearly hoping that the rich promise of the script will be realized on the screen. It never is, not fully."
-- Rick Groen, GLOBE AND MAIL

  "A movie that tries to fuse the two 'woods' but winds up a Bolly-Holly masala mess."
-- Kirk Honeycutt, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

3/5  "While Bollywood/Hollywood will undoubtedly provide its keenest pleasures to those familiar with Bombay musicals, it also has plenty for those (like me) who aren't."
-- Geoff Pevere, TORONTO STAR
