The film follows a familiar plot: Sami (Danny Pudi) tries to make it in America and experiences culture shock, but everything works out pretty much okay. The outfits look straight out of a cheap 70s Halloween costume kit, but the colors onscreen are too bright and digital to feel period appropriate, and when a character mentions The Dukes of Hazard it doesn't do much more than elicit a small nod of recognition. The Tiger Hunter, a 1979-set drama about a young aspiring engineer who emigrates to Chicago from India, relies too heavily on cutesy, perfunctory period references. It's a shame, then, when such stories are told in a predictable fashion. Stories of immigrant life are more important than ever.
