Show more >> Congrats My Ex! is a fun romp that dives into the chaos of wedding planning, but it doesn't quite hit all the right notes. Risa, our wedding planner protagonist, is relatable, but some character arcs feel a bit rushed. The film does deliver some good laughs, particularly in scenes where the wedding party’s antics spiral out of control. However, the presence of former lovers adds a layer of predictability that detracts from the overall originality. The cinematography captures the stunning Thai backdrop beautifully, but the plot could have benefitted from a tighter narrative. It’s entertaining enough for a casual watch, especially if you enjoy romantic comedies, but don’t expect groundbreaking storytelling. Overall, it’s a light-hearted film that offers a glimpse into the whirlwind of weddings, just not a particularly memorable one. Show less
