I Can't Think Straight is an entertaining, lighthearted romantic comedy from South African director Shamim Sarif. This sweet story is about two young women from different cultures, Tala of Indian origins, the other Leyla, a Palestinian (who is about to get married), who meet and fall in love. Some of you will immediately recognize the stunning lead actresses Lisa Ray and Sheetal Sheth from the film The World Unseen. Tala is serially engaged to one man after another. To their relief, Tala's parents believe that she has finally settled on one man. To mark the occassion the parents embark on preparations to throw a wedding extravaganza like no other. In the mean time Tala meets Leyla, who is dating her best friend. The two are polar opposites. Leyla is the shy and clumsy type, who longs to be a writer. Tala is provocative and rebellious. As Leyla comes out of her shell and Tala's caviler attitude melts, the two women realize that they were meant for each other. The problem is that the once independent and aloof Tala suddenly gets cold feet. She turns out to be more invested in tradition and the opinion of other people than she thought. Leyla on the other hand asserts her independence and comes to terms with her sexuality. Watch the film to see how things turn out, as I Can’t Think Straight, with its universal cultural themes and its witty dialogue, promises to delight.
