The Tiger Hunter Ratings & Reviews
Fresh Fiction
Kip Mooney
It's not original, but it works.
FanboyNation.com
Sean Mulvihill
At a time when immigrants are seen as nothing more than human fodder for political warfare, the kindness of The Tiger Hunter and its celebration of immigrants and their difficult struggle into a new land is more than welcome.
Film Inquiry
Alistair Ryder
The jokes may unanimously fall flat, and The Tiger Hunter may offer no new insight into the immigrant experience, but it has a feel good, positive nature that redeems itself somewhat.
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
The moral of the story, which I actually agree with, is "being happy is finding greatness in how you live." I'll give the film that.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
As a feel good dramatic comedy, The Tiger Hunter hits most of the right notes while only sounding a few sour ones.
Common Sense Media
Jeffrey M. Anderson
This lighthearted dramedy treads the stalest, most worn-out story grooves imaginable, but thanks to its cultural sensitivity and sweetly lovable characters, it's very difficult not to like.
TheWrap
Inkoo Kang
There's enough good-naturedness and cultural specificity here, alongside a slight deviation from the usual immigrant narratives, to render it a dollop of sweetness and novelty that goes down easy.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
A sweet, charming little picture. Danny Pudi is winning in the lead role.
SF Weekly
Sherilyn Connelly
The brightest point of The Tiger Hunter is Pudi, often the best thing in good television shows that either burned out (Community) or never quite caught fire (Powerless), finally getting a chance to shine as a leading man. He's always worth hunting down.
Paste Magazine
Andy Crump
There's a particular pleasure taken in watching Khan pick apart our beloved national fable through a South Asian lens, even though that lens indulges a traditional and long-expired style of racial profiling.
Film Journal International
Frank Lovece
A formulaic script and a director not adept at comedy keep The Tiger Hunter from earning its stripes.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Rechtshaffen
There has been no shortage of films tracking the immigrant pursuit of the American dream, but few have been as laugh-out-loud delightful as "The Tiger Hunter," a sparkling first feature by Lena Khan.
Washington Post
Pat Padua
An encouraging look at the American Dream, at a time when it too often seems like a nightmare.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
"The Tiger Hunter" might balk at the harsher details of immigrant life, but it has a generosity of spirit that lifts everyone up.
Tribune News Service
Rick Bentley
[Lena] Khan has directed Pudi into such a passive approach to the character that there are no sparks whether it be the sweet love story or the cockeyed corporate world shenanigans.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Elinor Jones
The Tiger Hunter is like if a Bollywood romance and a Wes Anderson movie had a baby, then that baby grew up and had its own baby with My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
Village Voice
Abbey Bender
Immigrant stories certainly don't demand tragedy to be legitimate, but The Tiger Hunter, with its pastiche of fish-out-of-water comedy and pointy collared shirts, ultimately feels weightless.
Baret News
Kam Williams
A lighthearted look at the pursuit of the elusive American Dream from the perspective of a lovesick expat from the Subcontinent.
Chicago Reader
Leah Pickett
The period setting provides some fun costumes, hairstyles, and musical cues... the humor comes mainly from the protagonist's interactions with his new friends and the endearing specificity of their situation.
