Alain E This is the first example of a new movie genre that I will call the rom com thriller. An orthodox girl in Israel when her marriage plans fail, decides to offer God, Destiny, the Universe, a challenge. She makes arrangements for her wedding ceremony during a religious holiday a few weeks later, without having a groom candidate. Rents a venue, orders the food, have sessions to adjust her wedding gown. During that time she serially dates men from different backgrounds without significant success. At the very end, a savior conveniently materializes. I could do without the Israeli pop songs, but otherwise the movie is very smart. I would have preferred if she had selected the musician, but that’s just me. Don’t miss the snake! Another rom com innovation. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/27/25 Full Review matthew r 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 Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Surprising take on life, love, faith and romance. I was charmed by the gut honesty of all the elements of the film. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review nilufer e 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. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Subtitles. Horrible. Turned off after ten minutes Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/01/18 Full Review Read all reviews
