Worth watching once!
The film "Simple Wedding" treads a delicate line between humor and the portrayal of a cross-cultural relationship involving an Iranian girl from a traditional background and an American modern bisexual boy.
The attempt at humor feels fake and forced throughout, with the cast, unfortunately, struggling to deliver their best performances. Seems like everyone tries so hard to act Not Good!
Regrettably, the wedding scene stands out as a low point in the film. It comes across as painfully fake, marred by poorly written dialogue and subpar execution. The blame lies squarely on the shoulders of the writer, who seems to have fumbled the opportunity to create a compelling narrative.
Move tries so hard, so bad and so fake to include LGBT+.
The film does manage to capture the essence of Los Angeles' superficial culture, portraying it accurately from the opening scenes to the somewhat questionable "healer" moment. For those familiar with the city, the depiction resonates, but it may come off as exaggerated to those less acquainted.
In summary, "Simple Wedding" falls short of expectations. While attempting to navigate the complexities of cross-cultural relationships, it struggles to find an authentic balance between humor and substance. The wedding scene and the overall execution of the film leave much to be desired, overshadowing glimpses of the film's attempt to satirize Los Angeles' superficial culture.
