My Little Bride (2004)

Young love is one of my favorite subjects when it comes to a good story. I just think that the innocence of it is what makes it beautiful and special.

When I first watched My Little Bride, I remember seeing it with my mom and we both enjoyed the movie. It was funny, entertaining, cute and innocent. There is something in Moon Geun Young's eyes that exude innocence which greatly helped her in portraying her role in the movie.

The only problem in this romantic comedy film is that Bo Eun is just a 15 year old school girl who does not want to marry just yet and is crushing on the star baseball player in their school. Also, Sang Min, even if much older than Bo Eun, is not too keen on the idea of losing his bachelorhood so soon only to live with a high school girl under the same roof.

MY TAKE

If you have read my previous posts, you'll see that entertainment and feeling good are two of the things that matter to me whenever I go watch a movie. There may be times when I am up for a good scare or for something that will make my mind make sense of the twists and turns of the story but in general, I watch movies to relax.

Having said that, this romcom movie did not disappoint me when it comes to getting entertained and feeling relaxed. The general mood of the film was feel good even during the scenes when the newlywed couple was struggling with their new setup.

This is a movie that you can enjoy if you are looking for something that is funny and entertaining. But if you are looking for a film with more depth, I'm afraid you will have to consider something else.

Happy weekend guys!

Til next time!
