      Audience Member This movie is a Persian version of "The Room" with less of a cult following and a horrendous lack of kabobs. 2 stars for the emphasis on the protagonist being a poor driver and a lightweight. Minus three stars for the amount of hashish it took to come up with this film. Maz Jobrani probably owed his director "refigh" a favor. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Not the best story, but a great happy ending. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review dan u A little bit cheese for my taste, but not bad. :) Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member It feels a little like a variation on My Big Fat Greek Wedding got filtered through the Hallmark Channel, but is still very watchable. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I've seen better made for TV movies. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a guaranteed good time if you enjoy romantic comedies like "When Harry Met Sally" and "Bridget Jones' Diary". The star is gorgeous, the leading man just butter, and the characters around the couple are so well played, tom the overbearing LA Iraninan mother, and quiet wise father, to Officer Henderson played by George Wallace. I love the touches of Iranian culture in the US, which adds to the film's charm, but the main this is a girls' night film GUARANTEED to make you feel good.

      Roxana Hadadi Punch Drunk Critics Shirin isn't believable either as a product of her parents or as a romantic interest for either Mike or William, and since the movie can't sell those core relationships, it can't convince us of anything. Rated: 1.5/5 Jan 9, 2017 Full Review Mary Houlihan Chicago Sun-Times There's a glint of a clever idea here, but writer-director Ramin Niami's reliance on tired rom-com tropes only serve to drag down the film, which plays out like a Harlequin romance. Rated: 2/4 Mar 27, 2014 Full Review Soren Andersen Seattle Times Too bad you must endure dialogue that's sappy and a story that's drippy. Rated: 1.5/4 Mar 20, 2014 Full Review Josh Bell Las Vegas Weekly From the choppy pacing to the grating soundtrack to the flat visual style, Shirin in Love fails on almost every level. Rated: 1/5 Mar 19, 2014 Full Review Kam Williams Baret News My Big Fat Iranian Wedding! Rated: 2/4 Mar 15, 2014 Full Review Mike McGranaghan Aisle Seat An empty shell of a movie that goes nowhere, invokes no warm feelings, and accomplishes nothing. Rated: 1.5/4 Mar 13, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
