All Critics (7) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (3) | Rotten (4)
The cross-cultural rom com about a Korean American's search for true love is marred by serious overacting, broad characterization, flat comedic skits. It tries too hard, like a comic who's the one laughing hardest at his jokes.
Top CriticLoud, frenetic action drowns out the charms of Christine Yoo's debut film.
Yoo finds room for all of the obligatory bad first dates and fantasy sequences, montages and misunderstandings, a wisecracking best friend and overbearing parents. It doesn't appear that she means any of this ironically, or as parody.
While the story is a bit weak, the film does a good job of contrasting Korean-Americans who steadfastly adhere to the traditions of their homeland with South Koreans who have renounced old customs.
The genre elements of the romantic comedy "Wedding Palace" attempt a transpacific transit, but get lost in translation.
Yoo's broadly drawn characters are less ha-ha funny than endearingly over-the-top, their exaggerated mannerisms rooted in fondness as much as mockery.
A fresh and very funny look at the romantic comedy through the Korean-American lens.
