Movie musicals are usually thought of as a woman's genre, but the really delightful Bride and Prejudice is the first movie musical I've seen in a long time that actually seems to have been made for women, as opposed to gay men. Maybe it's because the director, Gurinder Chadha, is a woman, or because it comes from a Bollywood tradition where women are, I would imagine, the primary audience. Mostly, though, it's because the lead actress, Aishwarya Rai, cannot be mistaken for a gay icon. Barbra Streisand or Judy Garland, she's not. Thank god.
