Shirin in Love
Shirin in Love
Love has no borders and therein lies the premise of the charming, new Iranian-American romantic comedy "Shirin in Love." Nazanin Boniadi plays Shirin, an absent-minded, young Iranian-American living in "Tehrangeles" (the large Iranian community in Los Angeles) with her overbearing mother and empathetic father. Despite being engaged for years to a successful Iranian plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, Shirin finds herself breaking loyalty and tradition when she falls in love with a mysterious young man who lives in a lighthouse in northern California. As her secret unravels and cultures clash, Shirin discovers what it ultimately means to be true to herself.

This was an awesome movie, romantic and heartwarming, loved it, a little sad but also a lot happy, one of my favorites now, well what a surprise the critics think this was a terrible movie but they loved a stupid movie that didn't end well like Fay Grim, which at the end left questions unanswered and not knowing what happens to Fay at the end or about the guy that collapsed in the house upstairs, the critics loved that movie that was crap, and they talk about this movie being like other rom coms but like I said before, there's only so many different types of movies that can be made and eventually there's going to be copies of the same type of movie but they will have different people playing the parts and sometimes if just look at the movie for the movie itself then you can see the entertainment aspect of it, instead of prejudgment of the movie and decided your mind up before you even sit down to watch it, which is what a lot of critics do, and like I said before where do you people get off on telling people how they should feel about a movie, you are not them and you can't speak for other people's opinions, give your opinion and make sure that people understand that it's your opinion only and let the people make up their own minds
