My Wedding and Other Secrets: DVD Review
My Wedding and Other Secrets
Rating: PG
Released by South Pacific Pictures
In this rom com, Michelle Ang stars as Asian film student Emily
Chu, a geek who's at odds with the world around her.
While her fellow film students are claiming their influences number
the likes of Fellini, Emily's talking about how Star Wars turned
her to the dark side of film making...
She's a bit of an oddball and that geeky goofy charm extends to the
rest of her life
But it also puts her into conflict with her Hong Kong parents -
she's seen one sister nearly disowned after she dated a boy her
parents didn't approve of.
So, when she meets good ole Kiwi James ( Go Girls' Matt Whelan) and
the two spark, she's well aware of the potential divisions it could
cause.
However, Emily's a dreamer and follows her heart over her
head.
My Wedding And Other Secrets is a charming and sweet culture clash
romantic comedy. It has an innocence and character which will melt
your heart.
Michelle Ang manages to bring an endearing charm to Emily and life
to the story. She veers on the right side of compassionate to her
eccentric spontaneity rather than irritating - and she also has
sincerity for the part as she juggles her heart, what's right and
the wishes of her family.
And she gels very well with Matt Whelan's awkward and nervy
James.
A sweetly charming cultural rom com which perfectly matches the
times we live in.
Extras: Behind the scenes, bloopers, commentary, trailer and
short
Rating: 8/10
