Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Must See Movie...

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

This is a horrible movie that shows that the director/producer/actors did not at all bother find out about a culture they are talking about.This movie is full of flaws and displays a totally wrong picture of the Arabic/Muslim culture. Even the infrastructure of Bahrain is shown as old/poor with camels and stuff.Any person who ever has seen any of the gulf countries (some of the richest countries in the world) will see that the infrastructure is in much better shape and way more modern that in the US or western Europe...And no attention is given to the fact that the adult marine is actually having his love-affair with a minor, which is not romantic, but disgusting.This movie really just makes me wanna puke my guts out!Disgusting, simplistic and manipulative!

*Don't read if you haven't seen the movie. It tells the general overview of what occurred.*I absolutely loved this movie. Their romance was a true "Romeo and Juliet" tale that Shakespeare himself would've probably applauded. The hardships, the trials, and the faith they had in each other was amazing. The fact that they overcame each issue placed against them shows that love does, indeed, conquer many things. Here's a young woman, willing to give up her family and her old life to begin writing a new one with the man she fell in love with. And here's a man who's willing to risk anything and everything to keep her with him, even if it meant defying the Marines. The only sad thing to this fairy tale romance, however, is the fact that not all fairy tales last an eternity.

I loved this movie! It was such a sweet love story. The actors are totally fabulous. Everything was great. Too bad the real-life story didn't end as well as the movie did. I was very upset to learn that the real Meriam and Jason ended up divorcing after 5 years of marriage. I suppose they just had too much going against them. But truly, their story made a wonderful movie. It was exciting and touching. I was so anxious for them. I think it also shared an important message about the status women hold in other countries around the world. I would recommend this movie to anyone. It was so sweet and heart-warming to see.

I couldn't stop thinking all the time how mad she was not knowing what she was getting herself into. I am not surprised they are divorced now and I wonder what kind of a life does she have now? She just wanted to escape , but to escape what and what into? Otherwise the film was really interesting and eye opening and the acting was very good but from being a privileged princess to being a soldier's wife - what a jump. I must agree with her mother for wearing veils. I don't think I am old fashioned , just plain realistic. Perhaps if she were closer to her mother she would be able to understand her infatuation, because that's what it all was, infatuation with the unknown.
