Anita and Me
- Rating:
- Director: Metin Huseyin
- Starring: Anna Brewster
- Details: UK / 92 mins (12PG).
1972. Indian girl Meena (Uppal) wants to be blond and beautiful, just like her new next door neighbour Anita (Brewster). And if you've seen any of the rash of Anglo-Indian culture-clash flicks of recent times, you can guess the rest. Good on period detail, and mildly comic, Anita and Me is instantly forgettable.
