Christmas in July 2022 - Movie #5 🩱🏖🎄 

Based on a web series by Melanie Chandra and Surina Jindal. 

Two life long best friends have one misadventure after another during Diwali. The crazier the shenanigans, the better it gets. I loved so much of this movie. I didn't get new lungs to run like this! When she beats the crap outta her fiancé for cheating and the video goes viral, I was like that was the right course of action. Tituss Burgess' cameo was priceless. There were a few moments in this movie I didn't see coming that made me burst out laughing. When the unexpected happens, it's pretty funny. It's nice to see a movie centered on Diwali, the cast was great, pretty funny, tried a little too hard for those heart felt moments, but it all worked in the end and makes for a fun watch. I could go for a sequel. 

My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐½
