Extras:

Set amidst the large and prosperous Indian community in mid-20th century Trinidad, THE MYSTIC MASSEUR is a magical, bittersweet fable about Ganesh (Aasif Mandvi), a young, aspiring author whose unexpected talents as a healer bring him local fame and enable him to realize his ambitions as a writer.

But he also realizes his limitations when his reputation as the legendary "mystic masseur" propels him to national renown and draws him far from his roots and his true self. Featuring a touching and comical performance by the great Om Puri, the story of THE MYSTIC MASSEUR allows us a rare insight into the warmth and humor of these charcters' lives as the Indian community in Trinidad began to grow and prosper.

Step Brothers movie review

Some people may think Ferrell is just up to his old schtick, which I can see what they mean, but I love it. He was in his element with this movie, and it was much better than some of his other roles as of late.
