Such a random binge watch that turned out to be such a worthwhile viewing. Hits all the right notes of a rom-com and does so much more than just any other rom-coms. A really recommended light hearted flick!

Full of Heart
Sweet movie, Romantic and intelligent, always nice to know true love wins in the end
Saw this movie on Netflix and chose to watch it on a lazy Sunday Characters were very relatable and fell in love with the fathers teachable stories. Could relate to the expectation to conform(for the main character), in a religious sense. Loved the lead character and felt he did a great job showing his struggle to please parents with their expectations and finding what he in his heart wanted to do. Even if his timing was bad and his execution was suspect. Loved that the lead female character smart strong woman, who had a mind of her own and not someone who is just going to go along with the program she had her own wants and needs and was not willing to sacrifice them to make a man happy or to make him fall for her- very refreshing If you are looking for a lighthearted romantic comedy try this movie! You will be happy you did.
Terrific Australian Comedy
If there were more movies like this, it would break down fears about Muslims in our communities. Yes, many of their traditions and customs are different to the average white Australian's, and this movie doesn't hold back from poking gentle fun at some of those customs. But it also shows that families generally tend to be a complex mix of being supportive, infuriating, close-knit, meddlesome and loving all at the same time. And most people can relate to that. This is a really sweet movie, funny a lot of the time, sad occasionally, and quite unexpectedly good. Definitely worth going to see.
