Georgia and David are a couple who divorced 19 years ago, and who can't stand each other. Georgia feels David minimalizes what she does for a living, and dates a French young man, who loves everything about her.
Their daughter just graduated from college and she goes on a trip to Bali with her best friend who is like a sister to her.
There, she meets and falls in love with a local man, who has a seaweed farm.
37 days later, they're getting married. Her parents, who hate each other, decide to join forces to make her cancel the wedding, that meaning they have to sabotage everything about the wedding.
I personally enjoyed the movie, mostly the first half of it, afterwards it lost me.
I noticed that movies lately have their old characters getting drunk or high, and I don’t appreciate that (I don’t even like seeing it in young characters), that being the reason I stopped watching them, because I can hardly find one without something like it in them.
The first part is 3 stars, the second, 2, so I’m gonna give it a 2 and a half stars.
When it comes to the characters, Georgia has a young boyfriend who seems great, and who wants to marry her, but she doesn’t want him. She seems to be the problem in all of her relationships, because of what she tells David towards the end.
We don’t know much about David, I have no idea if he was dating anyone.
Their daughter always loved Bali, so to find a man who lives there,to love, is like a dream come true for her.
Her fiancé seemed nice (very perceptive, when it came to what her parents were doing, and protective of her), and so did his family.
Although set in Bali, the movie was filmed in Queensland, Australia!
The actors were good.
I honestly don’t remember the soundtrack.
The movie grossed 169.6 million dollars at the box office,against a budget of 60 million dollars.
