Reena seems to have her share of problems: her traditional Indian mother will not accept her lesbian lifestyle, her girlfriend Lisa is suffering from commitment-phobia, and she wants to act as a surrogate mother for her unwilling sister.
Reena, the heroine of director Nisha Ganatra's first feature film, "Chutney Popcorn," grapples with the same issues that many young people face in their everyday lives, including family divisions and relationship dilemmas.
But "Chutney Popcorn" serves up these issues with a queer bend, which is why the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Resource Center will feature it Wednesday night at their weekly Queer Movie Night.
"Popcorn," a romantic comedy starring former "Law & Order" actressJill Hennessy, is being shown at 7:15 tomorrow night at the LGBT Resource Center, located in the faculty apartments on Rugby Road.
