I was disappointed

Rating: 6/10 (3 August 2013)

I was ready for a Disney-dose of girl-power but was let down. I read that the director abandoned-ship halfway through the production and it shows.
The movie starts out promising then it flounders. They forgot to finish writing the second half of the plot.
Eventually the protagonist "realizes" that refusing to be forced to marry some stranger is just her being "selfish" and "spoiled". (What the heck?) In the end the mother suddenly changes her mind about forcing her daughter to marry. What goes on in the middle of the movie seems to have nothing to do with actually resolving the interpersonal conflict.
The third act of the movie is kind of dull and consists of contrived slapstick action. I call it contrived because it revolves around trying to hide the mother while the protagonist tries to accomplish something, but why did the mother have to even come along? She could have just stayed somewhere safe while the heroine did her thing.
