Movie Haiku:Expelled from Uganda by Idi Amin, a prosperous East Indian family lands in rural Mississippi, where their daughter creates a scandal by falling in love with a local black entrepreneur. Spicy multi-cultural stew (with wonderful soundtrack) anchored by Denzel Washington – a total hunk in bed & out!
