Touch of Pink

Kyle MacLachlan plays Cary Grant? From a worthwhile review of Touch of Pink.

The plot seems awfully similar to Ang Lee’s comedy “The Wedding Banquet,” with a South Asian family substituting for Chinese. The new wrinkle is the dapper presence of Cary Grant, who consistently fills Amil’s head with circa-1956 advice on how to hide his true character. (The title is a play on “That Touch of Mink,” a 1962 comedy with Grant and Doris Day.)

I enjoyed the one-liners from Cary, including his withering assessment of Toronto’s lack of glamour. The movie has more of a problem with its ostensible hero, Alim, who’s such a spineless drip that it’s hard to get involved in his dilemma.
