A Simple Wedding

A pleasant little film.

'A Simple Wedding', in all honesty, isn't that funny a production, it didn't make me laugh out loud once really. However, it's actually a sweet romance story rather than a flat out comedy.

Tara Grammy (Nousha) and Christopher O'Shea (Alex) have solid chemistry, none of their dialogue or anything feels awkward which is nice. Shohreh Aghdashloo, who I remember from TV's 'The Punisher', works ideally in her role as Ziba. The rest of the cast are well chosen, to be fair.

It's nothing special, but I found this film rather charming.

This is a delightful and fun romantic comedy! It is great to see a plot featuring a different culture, and a super politically correct cast as well. The film is colourful and light hearted. I enjoyed it a lot.

A simple wedding is a well made romantic comedy that provides a good insight to the Persian culture. There is a great chemistry between the cast, although, the movie start a bit rough and rushed at the beginning. But after the characters are developed, it is easy to connect with them and enjoy a wonderful story.

This movie was nothing but a bunch of tropes thrown together. The writing was awful. None of the jokes landed. I was excited to see it because of the cast. Maz Jobrani and Shohreh Aghdashloo are terrific and hilarious when given even half decent material.

All the charm and cultural aspects of My Big Fat Greek Wedding was missing in this movie. Nothing in this movie other than a few scenes where the characters speak Persian had anything to do with Persian culture or humor. It was as if the writer was guessing what Iranian culture is supposed to be. I wanted to stop watching after about 30 minutes, but continued to watch in the hope that there would be one scene that made it worth my time. That moment never came. Avoid this film like the plague.

It is one of those fun romcoms that you don't want to think too much about. Simple story and very funny and yes feel good script all the way! Just chill with this one!!
