Promised

Some really decent performance, well written and directed , good production quality. and somehow satisfying ending but it could be more better.

.the movie has no vulgar dialogue , no nude or dirty scenes. its pure simple , classic family drama. Its a movie about "arranged marriage" basically. a marriage with no feelings?. even the families of both bride and groom are decent and civilised. there are no such things that they are very bad to their children.

there are very minor flaws in the movie , especially when she has bf and IN LOVE with him but she also has a little crush on fiance ? because in a scene where man's uncle told him to dance with her in a party , she got pissed or jealous and went to dance by herself. so it seems that she has some feelings for fiance too which is ODD?

This situation of " arranged marriage" happens in many 3rd world or under develop countries like india, Pakistan , Nepal, Bangladesh, srilanka , and many muslim countries. and most arranged marriages has more success that conventional love marriage (like in so called civilised western countries). But anyhow, love is important but what more important is loyalty ,faith , honesty and responsibility.

I thought given the low ratings that this was a boring movie. But on a rainy day when I had nothing to do I started this one on Tubi and this movie completely charmed me! Very lovable characters and what a sweet story! Don't go by the bitter feminist's review here, go take a look, this movie will supervise you too in a living way! Promise!!

I would have prefered if the couple were more the focus of the film...but I liked the low key tone and the two leads are refreshing... not every culture will understand the concept of ( promised ) but I come from a culture that has arranged marriages ...my fav thing was the first time female lead...what a lovely lady..she looks like a young tina arena.....I will wait to see her in more projects

The beginning was somewhat confusing - I THINK it started with two Italian families and their "promised" marriage tradition involving one's son and the other's daughter, but was played out in the country of Australia. That said? I thought the lead actors "father" actors were very good and kept to their "Italian" heritage. A little disappointed in the mothers/wives however, not quite as well played as the fathers. The son was a fine actor though showing the patience and tolerance of a "saint" and perhaps? Not as much backbone as I would have assumed he had. Angela, the daughter, performed gracefully BUT with a greater "voice" and that made the prospective union far more interesting - that she had a voice yet went along with Daddy's wishes - even over the threats/abuse/investigation made regarding her former boyfriend. The plot moved along nicely and I guess the best you could say about this archaic tradition of other cultures (including Italian) was that it played out against all odds. Charming. Entertaining. Interesting leads.

The movie was somewhat enjoyable, but frustrating because the ending was predictable. I knew how it was going end, with the couple falling into each other's arms. Watchable but that's about it.
