This was a wonderful film The only reason why I had to give it an 8 out of 10 is because the characters accents were so deep and thick that I had to struggle to understand what they were saying and they were talking so fast and so low at times so I had to rewind several several times and rewatch parts but other than that it's a beautifully written and beautifully executed movie directed fantastically.

Watchable But Not the Greatest
The movie was somewhat enjoyable, but frustrating because the ending was predictable. I knew how it was going end, with the couple falling into each other's arms. Watchable but that's about it.
A woman is a child, and daddy knows best
According to this movie a woman is scared of a male authority so much that she doesn't show any resistance to the pressure of the expectations what she's expected to do and decides it is the best to listen and follow the request from her father and she does this so quickly and easily and it ultimately leads to her realization that parents know what's best for her: who she should marry and how she should lead her life which is cleaning the house and learning how to cook for her man - among other "female duties." One minute she is at the college and literally the next day she wants to learn how to cook for arranged husband while being forced to leave her beloved fiancee?!
