Mariage de saison

It started off good but then it just got too predictable and the script is super cheesy. Acting is ok. Parents were annoying however stereotyped all the way. Nothing else to watch? Sure, why not Wedding Season. It's an escape from reality.

No pun intended and not this is not about being pregnant but rather about parents and their kids ... about your own life, your plans ... mostly when it comes to career planning. And that goes against wishes from parents who want their kids to get married - especially daughters/girls.

Of course the movie is filled with cliches - so you can call this cringe or whatever else makes you (un)happy, but it is what it is. Either get on board with it or do not watch at all. Considering other romantic comedies, this actually works mostly. It is because the main characters/actors have some chemistry! They work well together ... it is not about surprises, you will be able to guess where the movie is going with its story .. but it is a fun ride up until that point.

I give rom coms that can hold it together a 6 or 7. But this movie got some genuine chuckles out of me. The actors had good comic timing, even though the story was predictable. However, I really enjoyed that the movie includes how love can be between people of different religions and backgrounds and the acceptance of it without being heavy handed.

Is it predictable? Of course, it's a rom com. The acting was solid, the songs and the dancing were great. The chemistry of the leads was convincing, and the pressure that parents put on their high achieving kids was all too real. I would probably say 81/2 rather than 9, but it's well worth the time. Which by the way it's half as long as typical Bollywood movies.

This film is just pure fun: Silliness, tropes to warm the soul, lots of stereotypes (who doesn't love them), great music with just a touch of serious - an uplift on a dull day!
