It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

The movie is surprisingly subdued in its pacing, its characterizations, and its go-for-broke sensibilities.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

It is one of movies that poignantly depicts an era. It is plainly descriptive with many silly but candid admission of our time. A historical piece which can be used by future cinema researchers. I watched this when I was in early 20s. I thought it was a kind of silly porn because of the wrong summary of the movie. I think it failed badly in making money because marketers did not understand the value of the movie. Don't be fooled by the cover summary. I was surprised by the story then. I went to the UK to study and found out that the movie has some historical value. I am now in my 40s and I find it a very good movie. I think its average point should be around 8.2.The music is great and comes in right times.

It's a charming and funny film whose humor also lampoons class distinctions and cross-cultural differences in a very believable manner. The casting is just perfect. If you can find it, rent it or, better yet, buy it: it's a keeper.

"Foreign Body" is a cute Brit flick which tells of a lowly, humble, and naive Calcutta flop-house clerk who manages to make his way to the UK where, with the help of a distant relative, he manages to stumble and bumble his way into a position as a physician to the rich. A fun little "East Meets West" flick with a pleasing performance by Banerjee, a bit part by Trevor Howard, and plenty of nonsense, silliness, and corn, "FB" will be an enjoyable tier-two watch for many.

I first saw this film about 10 years ago, at a friend's house.Then I spent five years trying to find a copy for myself. I am happy to have one, finally! This is a very funny and quirky film, about a poor East Indian man who wants to become a doctor so badly that he sets up a practice in England under false pretenses. He becomes a favorite doctor of all the rich well to do types in London, and of course many misadventures follow. The best scenes are the ones with Nora Plumb. (NP- Not Permitted?) A fun movie, find a copy and rent it tonight!***
