The Wedding Plan

I wont get into the plot, because a lot of the people reviewing this movie did. I will just say that I loved it!! It¨s fun to watch, LOVE Noa Koler and all the things she brings to her character. I got to this movie by looking for romance movies in Amazon and it simply moved my heart and soul. Gd helps those who help themselves. And throughout the movie Michal is set on following her dream and not setting for less. The rock star is SO good looking, but Shimi has something else...he had love in his eyes. Keep your eyes open for israeli films. I will certainly do from now on.

The movie centers around the decision of one Haredi (commonly called ultra-orthodox ) Israeli Jewish thirty-something woman's decision of if/when/whom to marry. She has been having trouble finding just the right person for herself, partly because of the men she has been meeting but partly because she is an unconventional woman in a number of ways. When her engagement is broken off , she has an unusual reaction which is the linchpin for the rest of the movie including an ending which may be surprising to some.

The movie was billed as a romantic comedy; there are indeed plenty of humorous moments, but I think it's real attraction is the issues it raises about the process of deciding to get married, what one is looking for and how it can be related to issues of faith. And although it involves the Haredi Jewish world, I think the insights and themes apply to other cultures as well , while at the same time the movie provides an entertaining window into the Haredi world.

The movie is very well directed and acted and went by quickly. Contraryto another review posted here, the audience I saw it clapped heartily at the end and lingered afterwards. Recommended.

This movie had potential as the theme of marriage at a later stage is a prominent in the religious society in Israel. As for the acting, although Noa Kooler's was impressive in her performance, the movie's "beat" was kind of monotonous, and it felt as if the actors were all subject to this depressing mood. Although there was some humor, the plot dragged along.

Felt like there were almost no twists and turns in the movie, and the standstill dialogue did not create motivation to continue watching.

Overall, a wonderful plot idea, some impressive acting, and mediocre execution.

After a slow wind, this film is sweetly romantic, spiritual, with flights of funny tenderness.

An orthodox Jewish girl, aged 32, is looking for a man to marry and spend the rest of her life with. Unfortunately, she has had no luck in finding a husband, despite countless first dates that don't work out for her. Either the suitors she chooses to date are either not her cup of tea, or else marry someone else.

The plot of the movie is very clever and compelling. Noa Kooler's performance is outstanding. Without a doubt she deserves the awards she has won.

Yes, there is a Hollywood style happy ending, but the path the movie takes to get there, especially the twist at the end, were most enjoyable.

A chick flick for the whole family.
