Review of The Wedding Plan (2016) by Matthew R — 29 Jul 2018

This movie is not to be confused with another movie of a similar name, The Wedding PlanNER. but once you watch the movie you wont even have to worry about whether or not you are watching the right move, this is the right movie, whatever name you want to give it.

The movie is a delight, acting is spot on and plot is well done if a little contrived. The best thing about the movie is it gives the viewer a in-depth look at the Judaism traditions that surround someone looking to find a mate to marry.

It emphasizes the importance of marriage within the culture as well as the impact the religion has on the institution. The movie also gives one a glimpse of what I would suppose the believers define as true faith, not in the "i am part of xxx faith" but what it means to have faith in something you believe is bigger than you and a greater power than you.

A fine film, a great expose on Judaism, and a wonderful introduction to some fine Jewish actors who, by the quality of the film, where given a chance to be seen by a wider audience. This is the followup for director Rama Burshtein who directed the highly successful Fill the Void in 2012.
