Critics Consensus

The Wedding Plan is steeped in convention, but has a thoroughly charming star and enough fresh twists to set it pleasantly apart.

Marjorie Baumgarten

Austin Chronicle

The Wedding Plan will be no one's idea of a Western rom-com starring a sexy Hollywood ingenue, but for those who are inclined, it will be a ringing endorsement of the belief that God, indeed, works in mysterious ways.

Rated: 3/5

Matthew Lickona

San Diego Reader

An engaging (and surprisingly entertaining) examination, not of belief, but of a believer, a struggling soul who more often than not blocks her own path to paradise.

Rated: 3/5

The film's structural shortcomings will matter less to most viewers than the personality of the central character, Michal.

Rated: 2.5/4

Cinema Siren

This movie is a great example of what the future of Rom-Coms can deliver, embracing all the genre's positivity and romance, but adding the twists, darkness, and raw emotion that gives it both staying power and immediate relevance.

Rated: 4.5/5

This movie is not to be confused with another movie of a similar name, The Wedding PlanNER. but once you watch the movie you wont even have to worry about whether or not you are watching the right move, this is the right movie, whatever name you want to give it. The movie is a delight, acting is spot on and plot is well done if a little contrived. The best thing about the movie is it gives the viewer a in-depth look at the Judaism traditions that surround someone looking to find a mate to marry. It emphasizes the importance of marriage within the culture as well as the impact the religion has on the institution. The movie also gives one a glimpse of what I would suppose the believers define as true faith, not in the "i am part of xxx faith" but what it means to have faith in something you believe is bigger than you and a greater power than you. A fine film, a great expose on Judaism, and a wonderful introduction to some fine Jewish actors who, by the quality of the film, where given a chance to be seen by a wider audience. This is the followup for director Rama Burshtein who directed the highly successful Fill the Void in 2012

Surprising take on life, love, faith and romance. I was charmed by the gut honesty of all the elements of the film.

It was fun to a degree, I even liked guessing who the groom will be (happens to be my favorite) but I think I'd like it more if it wasn't all religiously wrapped together. Mobile petting zoo is a great idea by the way.

This is a warm, charming, subtle, Israeli romantic comedy by writer-director Rama Burshtein. As with her 2012 film Fill the Void, Burshtein once again examines marriage among Orthodox Jews, but this time in a more upbeat way, and more sympathetically to the would-be bride. Noa Koler put in a heartfelt performance that won her honors at the Haifa Film Festival. Oz Zehavi and Amos Tamam (of Srugim) put in engaging supporting performances. Roy Edri's music and Amit Yasur's cinematography are splendid.

I was speechless after seeing this movie...twice. It is a really smart story, great acting, characters, the tension it builds was every bit the cliff-hanger I had hoped for. Bravo...more more more. Thank you!
