American-born Ray Rehman comes home one night to find his Pakistani father on his doorstep. Ray's Caucasian mother threw him out. It's an awkward time for his father to move in as Ray just proposed to his Caucasian girlfriend - who hasn't given him an answer.

For a film that's deeply rooted in race, they did a pretty terrible job with casting. Shades of Ray is a cute RomCom that's been done better before. The race aspect, while central to the plot, still comes of as gimmicky. George & Baker's B-plot is probably the most interesting aspect, followed by Kranz's comedic relief sidekick schtick, then by the main plot. Levi & Shahi are decent. It's unfortunate that the film can't quite untangle the follow your heart vs. don't race-mix mess it creates.
