Its treatment of marriage, family and gender roles is not groundbreaking, but its light-hearted approach gives the familiar conversation a refreshing perspective. By asking whether marriage should mean leaving one’s family behind—or simply finding a way for two people to build a life that works for them—the film makes its point without losing sight of entertainment.
