Minor spoilers contained within but nothing that will affect your movie-going experience.What an original and great multicultural premise for a movie! As a Canadian I had really high hopes for this movie going in! And it lived up to those hopes in the first half of the movie which contained original characters, at least for film in North America, a funny and original premise and an environment rife for some brilliantly novel comedic shenanigans. Annnnnnd then it was like Adam Sandler took over this script and substituted the script for Big Daddy for the entire second half of the film. Cheesy line followed by a cliché court scene followed by cheesy line and a non-surprise surprise ending all conspire to undo all the goodwill and loyalty the movie had earned at the start. Surprisingly, in the end it wasn't typical Indian stereotypes being reinforced that really left a bad taste in my mouth but the stereotypical, somehow still acceptable (why?), demeaning of obese women as an object of ridicule and as nonsexual pariahs that really turned me off about three quarters of the way through this film. It's time the bucket stop being dipped into this particular well of comedy to get laughs at the movies. Hopefully, the audience has outgrown this particular brand of acceptable unacceptable insult. Think harder comedy writers!All of this being said there was redeeming qualities and an undercurrent of potential that really kept me wanting to like this movie and kept me watching until the bitter end. I liked the actors and Kunal Nayyar is really talented comically. This becomes glaringly apparent near the end of the movie when he finally reemerges and attempts to resuscitate this film with some comedic CPR. Sadly though, the movie flat-lined and passed away too early in this viewers opinion.

Pleasantly surprised with the direction of this crossover movie! A light-hearted comedy portraying the challenges faced by immigrants when they arrive to Canada. The Big Bang Theory's Kunal Nayyar provides continuous laughter and Virmani plays the most significant role of Dr. Deepak Chopra, a newly landed immigrant who's forced to drive a cab even though he has a medical degree. Making the best of his situation he combines his education and practice with his current job and turns out to be a local hero! This hilarious comedy indirectly focuses on raising awareness about a serious issue in a comedic manner. A solid 4/5!Pleasantly surprised with the direction of this crossover movie!

Pleasingly comical cinematic ride with appealing characters, snappy dialogue and an issue that will resonate with audiences.Dr. Cabbie does something interesting. It takes a rather serious subject — the fact that immigrants bring vital skills to Canada that are cruelly wasted — and milks the issue for its comic possibilities. It does so in a cheeky and charming way and, although Dr. Cabbie is clunky in places, it mostly works.Much credit resides with the star, Vinay Virmani, who came up with the story and co-wrote the screenplay.Virmani plays Deepak, who immediately upon graduating from medical school in India, packs up his mom and moves to Toronto to stay with Uncle Vijay (who actually lives in Mississauga) with the expectation of starting a medical practice in the so-called "land of opportunity."Reality and disillusion quickly set in when it becomes clear the door is firmly closed and Deepak soon finds himself slumming it as a cabbie, along with a lot of overqualified people from other parts of the world.

This was a train wreck, no wait, a cab wreck waiting to happen. Vinay Virmani just gets worse and worse with every movie he does. He obviously can't act since his dad Ajay Virmani finances every movie his son is in. This same so-called actor was horrendous in Breakaway which should have been a straight to VHS movie but went on Netflix and now Dr.Cabbie will stray on the same path.Story line: sure its great to watch a light hearted comedy movie, but when the actor is horrible it just becomes a mockery to the actor. Kunal Nayyar from Big Bang obviously can act and does a good job. It seems like the financier (Viramni) put his money into the acting rate of Nayyar and paying Salman Khan to put his production/Being Human organization with this movie. Final thought, watch it to laugh at a horrible put movie. Vinay Virmani should stay away from a camera and a pen so that he doesn't think he can write another movie. Oh, Lily Singh is amazing shes gorgeous and just has a fantastic presence for a younger gen.
