Watch: My Wedding and Other Secrets 2011 123movies, Full Movie Online – The contemporary story of Chinese New Zealand-born over-achiever Emily Chu, raised to believe she can get anything she puts her mind to. Even if ‘anything’ is at odds with her traditional Hong Kong born parents’ wish for her to become a doctor like her two older sisters. Everything is coming up roses – until she meets James, a European New Zealander, and accidentally falls in love with him. But if her father finds out, she will face disownment. By the time Emily realises that she’s sacrificing the respect of her family to follow her heart, James, too, has fallen irrevocably in love and there’s nothing for it but to try and keep their relationship a secret. Happy endings don’t come easy, if at all, but that doesn’t mean they don’t happen. But for Emily to get one, she needs to show James and her family that she has learned a lesson about the selflessness of love..
Plot: A journey through a cultural minefield, navigating the divide between the traditional values of immigrant parents and the contemporary aspirations of their children in a new land.

Warm but not Hot, Nice but not Nauseating.
I am a man, and not really into reviewing “Date Movies” but My Wedding and Other secrets is a lovely little film. It’s not going to change the world in any way, but it’s a diverting and well made bit of cinema.

At the heart of it, MWAOS is simple, personal love story that bridges the race divide in contemporary New Zealand, and let’s face it, the major plot line on it’s own is no reason to see this film. It’s been done a million times before. What makes this more than just a “Bend it Like Beckham” clone is that it’s based on the director, Roseanne Liang’s, own true story. It gets quite meta at times, as the film heavily references the making of it’s own principal source material, a documentary make by Liang about the relationship, upon which the film was based.

The intimacy these links provide brings a definite charismatic warmth into the film. Certainly, the performances of the two leads are OK if not brilliant, but the gentle awkwardness of the two protagonists has a real, personal charisma to it. They are watchable and relatable, although I do wonder why Emily didn’t ever invest in a less naff set of eyeglasses.

The supporting cast is filled with interesting characters. In particular Emily’s entire family (especially the mincing, gossipy Aunty) and James’ super-geeky flatmates grab your attention every chance they get.

In summary, it’s a warm and affable love story, told well by a decent cast. But the really memorable thing about this film is the intimacy brought to every level of the production by Liang herself.
