A very fun homage hodgepodge

What can I say except this movie, Polite Society, was a very pleasant surprise.A bit of Mission Impossible, Jane Austen, Tarantino(the good QT), and, to a degree, Get Out.Basically girls meets boy, boy meets girl, boy's mom wants girl to be a carrier for her clone, sister and friends save the day.This one had some genuine laughs, and was a bit of absurd fun.I was expecting, to a point, this may have been an absurd fantasy by Ria Khan, as her sister, Lena is about to be married; especially given how, aftee one of their fights , the wounds are healed. Either this was an intentionally well done embrace of the cartoon nature of the picture, or massive continuity issues. I reckon the former, as I did embrace the fun of it.I give this a B+

OMG, Bollywood Meets Fight Club... for Chicks!!

I just love this movie. I wish there were many more movies like this being made. A step in the right direction, this is!Yes, the sisterhood in films has progressed beyond whiny wives and clingy girlfriends, but not enough-not by a long shot.The thing I loved the most about this movie was the way these young women supported each other, plus-maybe especially-their disagreements, and reactions to them, aren't stereotypical of the way young females are portrayed in film and television.I would love to see more women depicted as strong, unstoppable, single-minded fighters... especially when it's in aid of rescuing your sister, literal or figurative.I hope these writers and filmmakers produce more... a lot more.The young women in Polite Society are going to have wonderful careers-they're all incredible! I especially love towards the end when Kovacs busts into the room upstairs to rescue Ria and her friends. Just. Fabulous!!

Pretty nuts and wildly entertaining

Written and directed by Nida Manzoor, who created the brilliantly funny TV series We Are Lady Parts, Polite Society is a decidedly nutso film heavily influenced by nutso martial arts movies, among other things. The story is wild and the comedy is wacky, but it's also heartfelt, with relatable, emotionally believable characters.This movie takes place in a world of its own, in a genre of its own, and it moves through that world with a wonderful sense of style and confidence.I knew I wanted to see this movie when I saw who directed it, but I also knew I wanted to see this movie when I saw the trailer. The trailer is wild and funny and crazy and the movie completely lives up to it.Highly recommended.
