    La película aborda el tema sobre las diferentes formas en la que cada uno de nosotros encuentra el amor. Para algunos las aplicaciones de cita son un método efectivo, para otros los matrimonios arreglados y así cada uno de nosotros tiene un método que le resulta en el arte de encontrar a la pareja ideal y que nos complementa.

    The film addresses the topic of the different ways in which each of us finds love. For some, dating apps are an effective method, for others, arranged marriages, and so each of us has a method that results in the art of finding the ideal partner that complements us.

    La exitosa cineasta Zoe tiene la esperanza de encontrar el amor en aplicaciones de cita, pero no ha resultado como ella espera, solo ha conocido hombres que no cumplen con sus expectativas y está cansada, ella se está dando por vencida, hasta el punto que piensa en congelar sus óvulos por si en un futuro desea tener un hijo como madre soltera, por su parte su madre la presiona para conocer un buen hombre, casarse y no envejecer sola. Por otro lado en una visita a sus vecinos, su mejor amigo de la infancia Kaz, de ascendencia pakistaní le comunica su deseo de tener matrimonio arreglado como el que tuvieron sus padres.

    Successful filmmaker Zoe is hoping to find love on dating apps, but it hasn't turned out the way she hopes, she's only met men who don't meet her expectations and she's tired, she's giving up, to the point where she thinks to freeze her eggs in case she wants to have a child in the future as a single mother, while her mother pressures her to meet a good man, get married and not grow old alone. On the other hand, on a visit to her neighbors, her best childhood friend Kaz, of Pakistani descent, communicates her desire to have an arranged marriage like the one her parents had.

    La decisión de Kaz toma por sorpresa a Zoe, ella le pide que la deje documentar su viaje en la búsqueda de la mujer perfecta para él. Zoe lo acompaña a él y a su familia a Lahore, lugar donde conocerá a su futura esposa, en el viaje Zoe se pregunta si esta forma de encontrar el amor es correcta y se lo hace saber a Kaz.

    Kaz's decision takes Zoe by surprise, she asks him to let her document his journey in search of the perfect woman for him. Zoe accompanies him and his family to Lahore, where she will meet his future wife. On the trip, Zoe wonders if this way of finding love is correct and she lets Kaz know.

    La película me encantó porque tanto Zoe como Kaz se dan cuenta que el amor tiene sus misterios, la química es importante en una relación, pero conocerse uno al otro y compartir experiencias es también fundamental. El amor en mi opinión no lo dicta la religión o la familia, el amor lo decide el corazón.

    La química entre los protagonistas no fue la mejor, pero la película se desarrolla en un ambiente muy hermoso enriquecido por la cultura pakistaní, lo colorido de los trajes y la unión familiar que se muestra en la película la hacen fresca y cálida. Además tiene destellos de humor, el personaje alocado y despreocupado de la mamá de Zoe me encantó. Te invito a verla y espero sea de tu agrado, me despido de ustedes, abrazos hivers.

    I loved the film because both Zoe and Kaz realize that love has its mysteries, chemistry is important in a relationship, but knowing each other and sharing experiences is also essential. Love in my opinion is not dictated by religion or family, love is decided by the heart. The chemistry between the protagonists was not the best, but the film takes place in a very beautiful environment enriched by Pakistani culture, the colorful costumes and the family union shown in the film make it fresh and warm. It also has flashes of humor, I loved the crazy and carefree character of Zoe's mother. I invite you to see it and I hope you like it, I say goodbye to you, hugs hivers.

  2. Arranged Or Love Marriages? —Review Of What's Love Got to Do with It? (2022)@kemmyb1167d

    I saw Lily James and Emma Thompson on the poster and I was sold. Since Lily's breakout roles in Downton Abbey TV series and Cinderella, I've loved to watch her pretty face on the screen. But this wasn't the kind of film I expected Lily James to star in —a cross-cultural take on arranged (or “assisted”) marriages versus love marriages. I like that she's exploring diversity and acting in scripts of different genres.

    What's Love Got to Do with It? (2022) is a British romantic comedy that focuses on Zoe (played by Lily James), a successful filmmaker, who gets commissioned to film a documentary on arranged marriages after her childhood friend and neighbour, Kazim (played by Shazad Latif) announces that his parents plan to find him a wife.

    Zoe convinces Kazim to let her shadow him throughout the journey with her camera, from the matchmaker's office in London to Skype and Facetime meetings with the intended lady and finally to Lahore, Pakistan for the wedding. As this young pair work together, they debate matters of romance and true love with Zoe questioning Kazim's decision. Will Kazim follow through with the wedding after a lady is chosen for him?

    Review

    What's Love Got to Do with It? is an interesting film that blends love, friendship, humour, and family drama in a way that is entertaining and emotionally impactful. It's captivating because it delves into important themes of family, identity, religion and cultural heritage.

    The plot is a great one but sadly it was not fully explored thanks to sloppy screenwriting, in my opinion. We meet a British lady (Zoe) and a London-born Pakistani guy (Kazim) who have been best friends since childhood but with different beliefs, especially when it comes to marriage. The guy decides to go old school and allow his parents to choose a wife for him but the lady kicks against it.

    While it's fascinating to watch Kazim battle the arranged marriage issue, we are given a glimpse into Zoe's single cynical life that involves her playing her harsh reality into fairy tales. She sends the message that life is harsh with no happy endings and fairy tales are unrealistic!

    On the positive side, I like that this film educates viewers on arranged marriages and their process (Pakistani marriages as a case study). It also makes a comparison (but a rather unfair one) between love marriages and arranged ones. The film roots for arranged marriages at first but eventually gives credence to love marriages.

    On the negative side, I'll say the cross-cultural view or take on marriage was not well written and acted, making the film inauthentic and unrealistic. A good example is the badly written scene of Maymouna (played by Sajal Aly), the bride, who smokes and drinks at her pre-wedding party right in front of her husband, Kazim.

    This should be enough to discourage any spiritual or stoic groom from going ahead with the wedding. Artistically, viewers are already given an insight into how the marriage would break up later on —from the bride's end. May I say, that was not good screenwriting and directing?

    I think there's much stereotyping in this film that doesn't give credence to some countries' beliefs and lifestyles, but rather promotes the Western culture and lifestyle as better. Whether arranged or love marriages, both are credible ways to enter into the institution of marriage and should be respected. Both processes have pros and cons, neither is perfect. As for their success rate, I cannot say much because I don't have evidence or statistics to support an argument.

    Overall, it's a good but unmemorable film. The acting is great. The scenes of the weddings and all the exotic displays are interesting to watch. But those who are overly sensitive on matters of culture and religion might want to stay clear of this one.
