It is about three recently divorced guys and their also-divorced divorce lawyer – played by Rashida Jones (did you know she was Quincy Jones daughter?!?) formerly of The Office.
It was pretty bad, but there were some slightly ridiculous highlights that had the dirty Farrelly Bros taste to it. But I was confused by the character Dr. Freddy Saghal, played by Shaun Majumdar.
I couldn’t tell too much from the episode I watched, but he seems to play an immigrant from India who had an arranged marriage that went bad. First of all, Shaun is a Indo-Canadian comedian who you might recognize for his small role in the first Harold and Kumar movie as Kumar’s over-achieving older brother.
But in Unhitched, he affects possibly the worst Indian accent I’ve ever heard. Instead of sounding like any Indian in the universe, he sounds very much like Adam Sandler when he makes funny accents while singing songs. I’m not sure if that’s what’s he’s going for but then again: Why couldn’t The Farrely Bros. just have created an Indian American character who got divorced? Then they could have saved Shaun from this embarrassing predicament.
