Wedding Palace

I thought this movie was a hoot. I watched it one Saturday afternoon on Amazon Prime. I had never heard of it but read the description and the rating was OK; so I gave it a try. It has become one of my favorite movies. It is a romantic comedy that you never see coming. I like movies with a twist and the director/producer pull it off. I had never heard of most of the actors in this film but they were all excellent. Margaret Cho is in this but her character plays a small part and not really that funny. Don't get me wrong; her part and acting are not bad. It just not a large part of the movie. But all in all a Great Film.

The acting and cinematography were both great.

Two thumbs up!

Witty comedy with great storytelling. Superb work by the cast. Direction is praiseworthy to be able to portray the cultural complexity with ease.

While I like complex, intricate thrillers and deep thinking movies as well as the next gal, lately I find a shortage of light and really funny romantic comedies. Many of the things listed as comedies have people dying, facing serious illnesses, or other tragic events.

This is just gosh-darn funny! Margaret Cho and Bobby Lee are hilarious and the plot is cute.

If you are in the mood for light fare, this is for you.

By the way, although it takes place in the Korean community, it is in English and whatever few places people speak Korean, the subtitles are easy to read, even for an old chick like me. Enjoy!

This movie was thoroughly entertaining. I could not stop watching. I wanted to see what was going to happen next. It stars several of my favorite comedians--Bobby Lee, Margaret Cho, and some favorite actors like Kelvin Han Yee and Brian Tee.

The movie starts out with the family thinking the young toddler would die before the age of 30 unless he found a bride and got married. After a failed try, he heads for South Korea to work on an advertising campaign. He meets the woman of his dreams at the meeting, and then again at a karaoke bar. He goes back home and keeps up an internet relationship with her. He eventually proposes and she comes to USA to get married.

When she arrives, he finds out she isn't what he expected. I won't spoil it here for you. You will have to watch to find out what happens.

The movie is full of surprises and laughs. Christine Yoo did a fabulous job directing this movie. It's one of those movies that are fun to see over and over.

I saw Christine Yoo's film on the big screen and loved it! The comedic timing, writing, acting and directing makes the film a memorable addition to the film world. I definitely recommend Wedding Palace to anyone with a funny bone. Watching this film, I felt lost in it's story, in a good way. Typically, movies are easy to figure out within the first ten minutes but, Wedding Palace kept me wanting more and watching. If you liked Big Fat Greek Wedding then, you'll definitely love Wedding Palace. Bobby Lee and Brian Tee are amazingly hilarious in the film and the cast meets them all the way. It's been a pleasure to have watched a great film. I look forward to seeing the amount of success it will garner.
