Our take

A green-card marriage plan spirals into a lavish family wedding in this M-rated romantic comedy. Frequent strong language, drinking scenes, emotional family conflict, and LGBTQ+ relationship themes run through the whole story. Heartfelt humor carries the tone without turning sexually explicit. Older teens and adults are the right audience.

Story (may spoil tone)

Frustrated with his commitment-phobic boyfriend Chris and running out of time, Min makes a proposal: a green-card marriage with their friend Angela in exchange for her partner Lee's expensive IVF. Elopement plans are upended, however, when Min's grandmother surprises them with an extravagant Korean wedding banquet.

Loss of her father still sits with Angela, and later a pregnancy ends in a miscarriage that leaves her upset and crying. Beside the wedding comedy, that grief stays quiet. When it surfaces, it still feels real
