The combination of romantic comedy and Netflix is almost ideal for weekends, the platform knows this so well that its latest premiere became a global success just a couple of days after its premiere. We refer to The bride’s motherwith Brooke Shields and Miranda Cosgrove leading the cast.
The movie is directed by Mark Waters, the same man behind Mean girlsThe ghosts of my exes and A crazy Friday, expert in this type of productions. The plot focuses on a wedding, where the bride’s mother discovers that the groom’s father is her ex:
“Stunned by the spectacular announcement of her daughter’s wedding, Lana soon faces another shock: the groom’s father is the man who broke her heart years ago.”
This Netflix hit premiered on May 9, but within two days it was already the most viewed film on the platform in more than 70 countries. Currently in Mexico it continues to be the leader, followed by Smile and The Guardian.
As an extra fact, the film was destroyed by the specialized press. Two examples are IMDb where it has 4.9 out of 10, but the worst case is Rotten Tomatoes where it has 13% approval. In this last place, the audience did not forgive either and only 15% approved it.
This is one of the perfect cases in which popularity does not have to be directly linked to quality. In tastes genres are broken.
The bride’s mother It can be seen exclusively on Netflix.
