I enjoyed Wedding Season more than I thought I would. The pretend dating and falling in love formula has been used in Bridgerton and other Rom Coms, it's a common formula. But it was done this time with a rich Indian spin and storyline and it works. The two main cast members are likeable and show a nice easy to see romance on screen. They showcased the pressures of family and trying to rise above it. This modern rom com does deliver a nice feel good sort of film. My only issue was they didn't explain what happens to Asha and Ravi when Asha takes up her new role in London? This plot point was kind of left unfinished. Overall not a bad film.
Plot summary
Pressured by their immigrant parents to find spouses, two Indian-Americans pretend to date in order to survive a summer of weddings but find themselves falling for each other as they struggle to balance who they are with who their parents want them to be.

Not half bad
It's too cliche, predictable, but sweet.
It started off good but then it just got too predictable and the script is super cheesy. Acting is ok. Parents were annoying however stereotyped all the way. Nothing else to watch? Sure, why not Wedding Season. It's an escape from reality.
What to expect, when you are (not) expecting
No pun intended and not this is not about being pregnant but rather about parents and their kids ... about your own life, your plans ... mostly when it comes to career planning. And that goes against wishes from parents who want their kids to get married - especially daughters/girls.
Of course the movie is filled with cliches - so you can call this cringe or whatever else makes you (un)happy, but it is what it is. Either get on board with it or do not watch at all. Considering other romantic comedies, this actually works mostly. It is because the main characters/actors have some chemistry! They work well together ... it is not about surprises, you will be able to guess where the movie is going with its story .. but it is a fun ride up until that point.
