"The Namesake"

Another movie I watched over the weekend (at home) was The Namesake.

"While he respects his immigrant parents (Irfan Khan and Tabu) and their decision to rear him in his United States birthplace, Gogol Ganguli (Kal Penn) is torn between Indian traditions and the modern Bostonian lifestyle. Jacinda Barrett and Zuleikha Robinson also star in director Mira Nair's thought-provoking coming-of-age drama, which explores first-generation Americans' delicate dance between culture and identity."

Thought provoking on many levels - how we're raised and how that influeces us in subtle ways, destiny, or journey in life and how we impact others along the way. This movie is one you'll identify with especially if you're older and your kids are starting to move on to the next leg of their lives with their significant other.

Let me know what you think if you see it.
