What's Love Got To Do With It?

* * * * Stars - Rating M - Romance/Comedy - 1h 49m

Two childhood friends now in their thirties must decide whether to follow their heads or their hearts once the man decides to follow his parents' advice and enter into an arranged marriage in Pakistan.

How do you find lasting love in today's world?

For documentary-maker and dating app addict Zoe (Lily James) swiping right has only delivered an endless stream of Mr. Wrongs to her eccentric mother Cath's (Emma Thompson) dismay.

For Zoe's childhood friend and neighbor Kaz (Shazad Latif) the answer is to follow his parents' example and opt for an arranged (or "assisted") marriage to a bright and beautiful bride from Pakistan.

As Zoe films his hopeful journey from London to Lahore to marry a stranger chosen by his parents she begins to wonder if she might have something to learn from a profoundly different approach to finding love.

A charming cross-cultural comedy that can be ranked alongside British classics like Bend It Like Beckham and has the confidence of a Richard Curtis classic.
