I watched this movie at home recently and surprisingly, I loved it! It’s funny, heartwarming, and full of surprises. The way the rich people of Asia are depicted was delightful. The scene I found particularly spectacular was the bride walking towards the groom to the song “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” To hear the lyrics “like a river flows” and to actually see the bride step through a small river was a wonder! Seems like no expense was spared in this lavish wedding. Throughout the movie we see scenes of splendor. But the story is simple: ‘poor’ girl unknowingly is in love with a ‘rich’ boy. Throw in the cold mother-in-law who disapproves of the relationship, add some wacky characters and “voila!” you’ve got an excellent plot. Someone compared it to Pride and Prejudice. Maybe it’s similar but with a cool twist. It’s a film worth watching more than once. I give it a two thumbs up! ~~LMMolina
