Wedding Season

It was interesting to see that the average US user rating was just 4.3. Given that Ron Howard and Brian Grazer were the executive producers, and Tom Dey directed, that's a serious diss to them!

Here's what this movie is. It has high production values, it has nuance and fine notes within a fairly predictable story. The actors were fresh, the acting was very good and it was an enjoyable 1.5 hours, rather than the typical 2.5-3 hour Indian movie. It was a modern Indian love story.

Most movies are predictable, but they can be fun to watch anyway. Worth a go!

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!

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.
