There are two crucial bits of miscasting, one bad, one good, both distracting.

Its plot is hackneyed and banal.
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle
Rotten
An uncomfortable jumble of Harvey, Bend It Like Beckham and The Birdcage.
Tom Long, Detroit News
Rotten
Much of the problem with Touch of Pink rests with Mistry, whose nice guy appeal registers even less than it did in his previous starring vehicles, The Guru and The Mystic Masseur.
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press

MacLachlan's strong jaw line and his valiant attempt to act so very Cary aren't enough to save this film.
