The absolutely gorgeous Indian actress Lisa Ray (Vancouver critics named her Best Actress for Water) plays Tala, an upper class Jordanian of Palestinian origin, whose family lives in London, and who is about to get married.

She meets Leyla, played by Sheetal Sheth, the first Indian-American actress to appear in Maxim. She plays an Indian Muslim who also lives in London.

Clearly, the casting of the leads is meant to appeal to audiences that wouldn't normally watch a lesbian film, even one that is billed as a romantic comedy. They are both accomplished actresses, but they are also very attractive.

Not only do we get a film about becoming aware of one's sexual identity, but one about Arabs and Jews, Christians and Muslims, and, most importantly, family and acceptance.

Leyla tells her parents that she is gay. Her mother flips out, but her father is extremely supportive. Tala calls off, what is it her 5th, wedding, but does not immediately tell why. The family is used to her changing her mind at the last minute.

When she does, the maid (Nina Wadia) does a little dance, as the mother treats her so badly that she spits in her antacid when she brings it.

You knew how it was going to end, but the journey was a real pleasure.

It's PG-13, so there won't be any nudity, just kissing and touching.

I just seen this movie on youtube and it really shows how conservative people can be when it comes to coming out as a homosexual person. Like its ridiculous and heartbreaking. I thought both fathers were so supportive then the mothers. The mothers made it into a huge big deal like seriously! They should wake up!

I think Tayla from the start should've just left the rich lifestyle and the one she was arranged to be married with. It would give her enough freedom then being stuck there in a rot! Although I have to say it was happily ever after in the end for both girls. At least Layla had a boyfriend as she can do is dump him whereas Tayla & the fiancée had to pay everything for the Wedding and it is all over the shop due to the fact she was not honest to herself!

I hope Tayla has the best wedding when she marries Layla as they are such a cute couple together :D

The Hong Kong translation of the film, "The Beautiful Girl Doesn't Come Straight" is more interesting, but it is a pity that the film is like a castle in the air.It is not very convincing that two rich Middle Eastern daughters who emigrated to Britain dare not come out of the closet despite their parents'opposition to religion, and that a Muslim who obeys his parents dares to come out of the closet.It was a short rhetorical question about religion that was interesting. The two heroines are the kind of beautiful Ji guy, at least pleasing to the eye.
