it is a good movie. Was it funny? Was the location scenery good? Jokes good? actors good?

funny and heartfelt -the actors were wonderful- and there was the most beautiful rendition of I Can't Help Falling in Love With You that I've ever heard. It was just beautifully filmed. I was so impressed....

I left wanting more... I'm a fan of Asian Dramas and there were so many personalities and story lines in this film that could have been developed with an 18 episode format. It was good to see a great Romantic Comedy. I usually avoid most popular films as they seem to revolve around violence or crime which I don't find particularly entertaining. Hope this is a harbinger of a change in trends.

And had a wedding there. What an event! She has over 100 first cousins so needless to say, it was a big wedding. I really enjoyed the wedding scene in this as it was pretty much what we experienced, on a much smaller scale of course. But we thought it was a very well done, entertaining movie
