Americanizing Shelley

When circumstances throw an American country boy and a Himalayan village belle together, apple pie gets a smattering of masala, only to prove that “You Can’t Curry Love.” In the vein of Bend It like Beckham, and My Big Fat Greek Wedding, AMERICANIZING SHELLEY is a contemporary Pygmalion-like comedy set in L.A.
Responding to a challenge from the CEO of a Hollywood management company (Beau Bridges), the movie follows a wannabe Hollywood player who sets out to Americanize an Indian girl from the Himalayas. As he creatively teaches her all about the American way of life and what it takes be a Hollywood celebrity, he ends up learning a thing or two about his own life. Their culture clash soon gives way to understanding, unity and love as they begin to see the world through each others’ eyes.
