What’s Love Got To Do With It? - 2022 - 6/10

Childhood best-friend Raz tells Zoe he intends to have an arranged marriage.
He probably should have waited, as Zoe is a documentary filmmaker and begs to film the whole process.
The matchmaker, screening candidates, awkward meetings, interviews with happy arranged marriages.
Consistently funny (Emma Thompson is a hoot), yet the last act veers into a different direction.
Much of the steam and energy also evaporates, causing me to wonder (you’re not going there, are you?”
Rom-Com is a cousin to My Best Friend’s Wedding (1997), although that confection had a hard center while this is marshmallow filled.
