English Vinglish Movie Review

I've been hearing lot of positive reviews of the movie 'English Vinglish'. The movie seems to be a story of a simple, middle-class lady from Maharashtra (her name is Sashi Godbole ) who runs a small scale business of making 'laddoos'. She's mocked often by her husband and kids for her inability to speak English.

I'm yet to watch the movie and would like to have a detailed review. I'm planning to watch the movie over the weekend. Anyone?

PS: I'd also like to know people's overall view towards those who're unable to speak English. Have you been mocked at your English speaking skills? If yes, how did you respond? Share your personal experiences.

    I guess there were a lot of regional adoptions of "Mind Your Language", I vaguely remember it was called "Zabaan Sambhal Ke". None of the reviews so far have drawn comparisons with the BBC show. How many here have seen the movie?
