Alim is a gay man living in London to escape the domineering eye of his conservative Muslim mother, Nuru, back in Canada. Alim keeps his homosexuality secret from his mother, so when she comes for a surprise visit, he and his boyfriend, Giles, must put on a straight facade to hide the truth.

This film is about two guys already in an established relationship, living in Toronto. Alim's family has no idea he's gay because he moved away a while back, but his mother comes for a visit to pressure him to find a girl. Giles pretends to be his roommate, and they have a kind of tense relationship while Alim's mom is there (understandably, cause Giles feels marginalized).Don't worry though, the whole thing gets resolved quite nicely, despite the race issues and gay being an issue stuff. The only two things I found weird in the movie is Alim's "ghost friend/guardian angel" sort of character. Like why is he there? Kind of strange. The other thing is that Alim's mom looks really young even though they tried to make her look older. Still, she acted well.All in all it's a great watch and leaves you with a happy feeling~

I stumbled across this movie while I was flipping through the channels, and I must say that I was impressed. I planned on only watching a few minutes, but it pulled me right into the story. Touch of Pink wasn't clichéd and the plot was a fresh take on the "coming out to the family" story." This was excellent art-house/romantic comedy. The casting was exceptional. Kyle MacLachlan is one of my favorite actors, and he didn't disappoint in Touch of Pink. I had only seen Jimi Mistry in Ella Enchanted before this, and now I'm a big fan.I rarely buy romantic comedies on DVD, but this one was nice. The script was strong. The performances were entertaining. Touch of Pink had the right blend of drama, comedy, and romance.

Alright, a well-intended movie and pleasant enough, if only the two lead characters weren't so unconvincing! Especially that Giles-person, really spoiled it for me. Mum and aunt were alright though, and so were a lot of other minor roles. The music was good too, very becoming of the whole atmosphere of the film. And even though you could see the twists and turns coming for miles, it was, as a whole, uplifting. Again, I just think they could have casted much better actors for the main roles. I know I already made that point and it's the only point I really wanted to make,but apparently these things have to be 10 lines minimum. So there.

Both gay, acting so nice. And Kristen......u r amazing. Is there anybody know how to contact him? is he married or what? How old is he, does he have any website that I can visit? That's all because i'm so amaze with Kristen, I don't know what's wrong with him, but i'm so so so attracted to him. The idea is good, but I'm not agree with gay. I think it would be nice if the story change with normal ending, which is mean, the gay men meet their truelove that female not male. By the way, I like Kristen Holden-Reid, I'm desperately want to see him or at least got all information about him. PLease,,,,show me how to contact him, is there anybody could help me with these things?
