The script (written by Khan and Sameer Gardezi, who also pens Modern Family) toys with the 1970s setting. But when director Lena Khan tries to conjure more seriousness in some of the film’s later scenes, his limitations as an actor are exposed. He’s a good choice to convey the humor of the film, which is always brisk and never meant to be taken seriously. Pudi’s demeanor could be summarized as “wacky,” from his cartoonish oddities on Community that seem to linger with him here. Unluckily, he’s working in the basement, doing whatever the engineers upstairs tell him to do. Luckily, he is quickly able to secure a job at a manufacturing company attempting to invent the world’s first microwave that doesn’t leave the middle of food frozen, or explode. He has 30 days to secure permanent employment, or else he’ll be sent packing back to India. Within minutes of stepping into the land of the free, Pudi’s character Sami learns the engineering job he just traveled across the globe to start has fallen through. And despite its limited budget, or more accurately because of it, the film is completely endearing. It stars Danny Pudi, best known for playing Abed on Community, as the ambitious but naïve immigrant willing to do anything to climb the social ladder. The Tiger Hunter is a period comedy set in the 1970s about an aspiring engineer moving from India to Chicago to pursue the American dream. ![]()
