Forget that! The CONSTANT zoomed in affect never lets the viewer grasp a whole scene. In the theater, it makes you dizzy if you're not in the very back row, so whatever story was being told, your constantly struggling to pay attention as you're fighting away nausea from motion sickness. Authentic? What exactly is authentic or common about the story?!?! a well-off white woman marries a music industry black man? They have an INDIAN wedding? Dad re-marries or is also dating a black woman? A BEAUTIFUL sentiment, but the whole thing feels contrived. The first time I attempted to watch this movie, I left half way through the wedding dinner. I thought it was never going to end... Sometimes movies and their stories are made ridiculous for the sake of being ridiculous. This was one of them. sHaKy CaMeRa?!?! Forget that!

While this movie strives for "authenticity", the mushy sound and shaky camera work merely distracts from the overall story. “Shaky” cameras is an understatement.
