Leave your thoughts about Wedding Palace.
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohWriter-director Christina Yoo has fashioned a film that can only be described as somewhat bizarre in its mash-up of American and Korean rom-com tropes. |
| Village VoiceMichael NordineYoo's broadly drawn characters are less ha-ha funny than endearingly over-the-top, their exaggerated mannerisms rooted in fondness as much as mockery. |
| The New York TimesNicole HerringtonWhile 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. |
| Los Angeles TimesInkoo KangThe genre elements of the romantic comedy Wedding Palace attempt a transpacific transit, but get lost in translation. |
| Philadelphia InquirerTirdad DerakhshaniLove conquers all. Sadly, Yoo's film does not. |
| Washington PostMark JenkinsKang's Na Young and Tee's Jason have a winning rapport when the script isn't pushing them into contrived shtick. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonToo many stretches of Wedding Palace are so garishly lit and broadly overplayed that they seem more cartoonish than the actual animated sequences that pepper the live-action production. That’s a pity, since this indie romantic comedy is not without its minor charms during its infrequent quiet moments. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckWedding Palace is being billed as the first Asian-American romantic comedy and the first U.S.-Korea independent co-production. Too bad, then, that this shrill, unfunny effort from director/co-writer Christine Yoo features such broad clichés and stereotypical characters that it doesn’t exactly reflect well on the Korean-American community. |
| RogerEbert.comChristy LemireBills itself as the first-ever Asian-American romantic comedy. But it's so chock full of the usual clichés and conventions of the genre, it could have been any movie over the past 20 years that you've seen and then promptly forgotten that starred Julia Roberts. Or Kate Hudson. Or Jennifer Aniston. Or Renee Zellweger. |
| User ReviewLisa ZI saw this film tonight @empire-- funny. Me and my friends laughed so much. Really funny film. The romance was good. It was so good, just them looking at each other. I want to take my sister to this film. Really good film. |
