Review
Honeymoon attempts to mine comedy from a high-concept premise—two friends ditching problematic boyfriends to marry parental choices, only to have their worlds collide on honeymoon—but the execution falls disappointingly flat. The setup has potential for sharp satirical commentary on arranged marriage versus love marriage dynamics, yet the film squanders it with predictable plotting and surface-level character work.
