Such a frustrating disappointment
One of my all time favorites.
If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
A must see film.You shouldn't miss it. Contains good acting & excellent story. Based on real fact this is undoubtly a good one for muslims or non muslims.I hope you will enjoy .
Saw this movie on Netflix and chose to watch it on a lazy Sunday Characters were very relatable and fell in love with the fathers teachable stories. Could relate to the expectation to conform(for the main character), in a religious sense. Loved the lead character and felt he did a great job showing his struggle to please parents with their expectations and finding what he in his heart wanted to do. Even if his timing was bad and his execution was suspect. Loved that the lead female character smart strong woman, who had a mind of her own and not someone who is just going to go along with the program she had her own wants and needs and was not willing to sacrifice them to make a man happy or to make him fall for her- very refreshing If you are looking for a lighthearted romantic comedy try this movie! You will be happy you did.
Warm comedy with a great storyline while weavering in current and recent middle eastern events
There is so much in this movie that I have no idea about. I know nothing of Muslim culture and it was really fascinating to me. Utterly charming from beginning to end and not 'over tried' or too clichéd, yet some of the moments were laugh out loud ones for me, in fact quite a few. However, I did feel serious discomfort for the theme which can and does occur in any culture or family where children are a misconception in a parent's mind, no matter if they are loved and where pressure from what is considered 'done' can be overwhelming for young people, often at massive detriment. Luckily, this had a happy ending and from it all, this wonderful, well acted and very entertaining movie arose which I would most certainly recommend to every Australian and anyone who loves a good romance and lesson in how we are all the same.
