Nell Minow AWFJ.org A fresh and funny rom-com for the 21st century with insightful details on what's different about falling in love today and some wise understanding about what's eternal about being in love any time. Nov 22, 2021 Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times The film's second act ends too soon leaving an overlong third act more focused on the predictable romance between Alex's divorced mother and Nousha's visiting uncle than on the Nousha-Alex dynamic. Feb 13, 2020 Full Review Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle A Simple Wedding is never quite as complex as the title suggests. Yet its easy charms and efforts to revise, rather than rewrite, the book of rom-com love make it worth the RSVP. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 13, 2020 Full Review Sandie Angulo Chen AWFJ.org This should make for an ideal Valentine's Day-timed romance. Nov 22, 2021 Full Review Loren King AWFJ.org The luminous Wilson, in particular, is a joy to watch as Alex's mom who's given up on romance but who blossoms when she finds it in an unexpected place. Nov 22, 2021 Full Review Jennifer Merin AWFJ.org All of the issues are dealt with in a uniquely goofy, eccentric and sincere manner that is, ultimately, an enchantingly sweet ceremony, a string of giggles and guffaws that boost tolerance, understanding and love.

Audience Member thoroughly enjoyed; heartwarming and funny and stimulating Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review russ a Not very original, but well acted and very charming. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Fantastic - loved it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member What can i say about a simple wedding,. It was a movie that tried to aim for the stars but had a problem with its take off itself. The movie has so much of potential of leaning into the side of vast difference that the Iranian culture has to offer, no it just seems to give passing nods to everything in its way. And lets not even get started on its 2nd act, the movie seems to be in such a hurry for there to some sort of conflict between the couple they themselves shove a conflict down our couples throat and then its like OOH OK now that we have taken care of that the obvious 3rd act is the sad, brooding, broken people sooooooo sad nah. And then tries sooo hard again to patch thing up nicely in the end so you know we all get that happy ending that every rom com should have no matter how we get there. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review r 9 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A fantastic feel good movie with great laugh out loud moments. It was the perfect movie to cap the night. Check it out if you like romantic comedies, or just like feeling good and laughing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
