Nobody’s perfect: Differently Entertaining
Bikas Mishra reviews Nobody’s Perfect, the film will be screened on UTV World Movies on Sunday, March 9 at 11:00 PM
Nobody’s Perfect (2006)
Carlos is blind, Dani is deaf and Ruben has lost his left leg. The film opens in a courtroom where Dani, the deaf is the interpreter and who prefers to interpret only what he feels like. Carlos, sells lottery tickets and Ruben teaches swimming. It takes you a while to realize as the director introduces all three characters one by one that they’re different.
All three meet to celebrate an anniversary, that you learn gradually that the occasion was Ruben’s last day with both legs. Soon you come to know that they’re all set for a bachelors blast as their buddy Carlos is getting married the next morning.
The film treats these three characters rather “normally” in the beginning but gradually as you get closer to them, a whole new world starts unfolding that ranges from stereotypical to touching. Director also puns around the notion of disability, you meet a gorgeous Patricia, who lacks the ability to experience taste. And if you wonder what it means ask the “disabled” guys who wonder how does she differentiate one kiss from the other!
If it all sounds too serious to you, then I must tell you, the film isn’t a sad tale of disability or about “a painful experience” of being disabled. Something that’s noteworthy is the unsentimental manner in which the film tells the story.
So it’s not a gloomy film. It has all the elements of a mass entertainer, except it’s characters are little different in a way and quite like anyone else in many other ways. No masterpiece, but entertaining and engaging.
