The more specific its characters are – and these are very specific – the more amusing the gags in this warm-hearted comedy about growing up and breaking free.

There’s a sense of fence-sitting in the film’s point of view, embracing free will, while waffling on “tradition” and arranged marriages within an insular culture. It’s not unpleasant, just grating and in many instances, too familiar to be much fun. Kind of “meh,” overall.
