      Contains lots of spoilers

      I originally wanted to give it to Samsung, but it's a bit far-fetched for everyone to force a happy ending. Is it possible that a single dog can't live? Everyone must insert a cp. As if a person has committed some sin, God must make a pair to bless you. The heroine's eyebrows always remind me of the dragon mother hahaha. The heroine's parents derailed and became bankrupt, and I don't feel that the forced reversal of love and reunion in the back is too blunt.

      The male protagonist's...

      Marriage is a matter of two families

      It's a flash marriage. It only took six months for the male and female protagonists to meet and get married. It's a bit flashy, but it can be seen that the two are in love, otherwise they would not have overcome so many difficulties in the middle, and finally came together and organized a big family~
      Falling in love is a matter of two people, and marriage is a matter of two families~ Especially the mother of the male protagonist in the play, the drama that does not want to leave her son...

      This movie reminds me of my wedding

      In all fairness, I think the wedding arranged by my mother-in-law is quite good. Although the place to eat is not a particularly good kind, the food is not bad. And it went smoothly.

          The day before the wedding, my ex-husband and I were still arguing. I don't understand why he can't protect me, can't think about me, he's not the man I imagined. In his in-laws' opinion of me, he was shaken and his opinion of me changed. I'm still that me. has not changed. Maybe he didn't plan to...

      wedding fight

      The male protagonist's communication skills are flawed. When the female protagonist is an overly tense personality and the mother is obviously hostile, she lets things go too far.
          The mother-in-law was reluctant to let go of her son, so she wondered why her daughter-in-law was not pleasing to the eyes of her neighbor.
          The mother-in-law has both arrogance caused by wealth and status, and low self-esteem caused by infertility and family discord, forming an arrogant and closed...

      God is speechless

      A movie full of various social elements, everyone seems to be able to find a bridge related to themselves.

      When Sabrina, a "peacock girl" who is keen on one-night stands, was inadvertently teased by playboy Bobby, she decided to abandon the past and reposition the future. So she "collided" with Jason, the "Phoenix Man". After the two fell in love for 5 months, the romantic Jason designed a romantic proposal, which made her regretful one...

      In the American version of "A Qing tells a story", the contradiction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law still exists on the other side of the ocean. All kinds of jokes made by the wrong family, and in the end, of course, the director Lu Jianbu roared, and the male pig and the female pig have lived happily ever after. But how exactly do we resolve conflicts in our lives? Perhaps the principles we have always believed in should sometimes be put...

    The film is a black comedy full of surprises. The film's funny index and the level of actors' mobilization are not inferior. Although the subject matter is not new, the comedy element of the film makes it very interesting and full of surprises. (Review of "Information Times")

    Movie quotes

    • Mrs. Watson: Well, if the sofa hasn't been repossessed, please find yourself on it, tonight.

    • Willie Earl: [to Chef, after catching him being intimate with Blythe] I mean, I know you ain't got your private parts out around all this good food, do you? And, second of all, do you have any kind of relationship with some Vaseline, lotion or anything? Your knees look like you been prayin' in some chicken flour!

    • Reverend James: Sabrina, dear, I understand that you love each other and that you're maybe even meant to be together. But I should warn you that sometimes life will really test you.

      Sabrina Watson: Well, we'll pass. I mean, Reverend James, Jason was sent to me. He's my soul mate.

      Reverend James: That's so sweet. But even a soul mate can really test you.
