REVIEW: One of my co-workers suggested watching this and funny enough I randomly watched a trailer on YouTube earlier that day. Fate? I think so. The story follows Rani who is betrayed by her to-be-hubby so she takes off to have a solo honeymoon. It is time for her to spread her wings and mend her broken heart. What a fun movie. It was sad, but it was so heart-warming. I felt so bad for Rani. Poor girl. Screw that Vijay! He needs to be kicked. How can he do that to her? Ugh! Asshat. But - luckily she realizes this and won't wait around for him to maybe change his mind. You go girl! I loved all the settings and places Rani was going especially France. So beautiful. So fun. I am kinda jealous. Not the whole getting left at the alter, but getting a chance to go out on an adventure! Loved Vijayalakshmi!! I want to see a movie about her. I hope someday she and Rani get to meet again. They are so opposite, but they were adorable as friends. An unlikely friendship and I loved it. The guys were fun too. They were funny and all cute. Is it wrong I wanted her to get with the Russian guy? They were adorable together. BUT the story is about her finding herself. I think what really made this film was the honest and true clash of cultures. It was fun seeing everyone having to learn to get used to each other and get an understanding. It was beautiful. These people are SO different, but they all have big hearts. LOVED IT! This is a must-see. Yes. 100%. There is drama, but there is also comedy. It was fun and I loved seeing Rani grow and become who she was meant to be. 5 stars for sure!

TRAILER:
REVIEW: Another film I have been anxious to see. When I heard the announcement that they were making this film I have been chewing my nails excited to see it. I actually watched this twice. Once with some friends and then the second time I went with my parents. Since I was little I was in awe of Queen. My dad raised me right. Beatles and Queen are musical gods. I have lived my life with this belief. The cast for this was amazing and they all did amazing. They all deserve awards especially the man who played Freddie. I think Freddie would be proud of this performance both in acting, singing, and dancing. I learned a lot from this film, but I was entertained the entire time. There wasn't a dull moment. There was comedy, joy, and utter sadness. Ooooo Freddie. Such a tragic thing, but he left us with amazing music. My biggest regret is never being able to hear this man live perform with the boys. Some inaccuracies and some creative changes as per normal. But they were minimal and it did help move the story along and it didn't take away anything from the story or entertainment. What I found even more entertaining was the attention to detail especially with the last scene at the concert. If you watch a compare/contrast, the actors and creators did well with being on point. I must applaud that. I'm also really glad they didn't completely focus on Freddie's sickness. Yes, this is an important thing, but in the spirit of Freddie and his gang they didn't let this stop them from making music or living their lives. In the end, this was for sure the best movie of the year so far. The story, the characters, the music, everything was amazing. I have zero complaints. This film deserves awards. I'll stamp this with 5 stars. This is a must-see film for anyone who likes music.
Film Title: Queen
