Yet another wedding movie. Parminder K. Nagra stars as a young Indian woman living in England, making a name for herself in a women’s soccer league. Had the movie just been about that, it might’ve been tolerable. Unfortunately, her sister’s wedding is coming up, so lots of cuddly, stereotypical humor about Indian culture becomes a prerequisite. Nagra and costar Keira Knightly shine, but the film plays like a hybrid rip-off of Monsoon Wedding and My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Sweet in nature but intolerable in pitch.
