It happened more than once that productions that were unlikely to be very popular in cinemas were at the top of the viewership rankings. This applies not only to forgotten productions, but also to those originating from outside European cultural circles. An example is a romantic comedy produced in Kuwait.
“Honeymoon” has conquered Netflix almost all over the world. This is the first time in the history of the platform
“Honeymoon” had its world premiere on VOD only a few days ago, on April 29, 2024, but it is already breaking records around the world. This is the first production from Arab countries that is so popular and made it to the top 10. It has already been watched by 14 million viewers in the last few days. On May 7, it was the most watched film on the platform, but since the beginning of May it has been at the top of the rankings not only in Arab countries, but also in Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Ecuador (here it has been in first place since the beginning), France, Germany, Luxembourg, Mexico, Portugal, Serbia, Spain and Venezuela. In Poland, it is also in the top 10, balancing between 2nd, 4th and 5th place among the most watched films.
Although “Honeymoon” is extremely popular, the ratings remain quite lukewarm. Viewers rated the production 5.2 stars out of 10, as did fans on IMDb. The few reviews still show that it is a light, pleasant and undemanding romantic comedy, and also from a slightly “exotic reality”. However, there are many statements that it is a “waste of time”.
“Honeymoon”. What is this Kuwaiti romantic comedy about?
What is the movie “Honeymoon” about? Noor and Hamad are newlyweds, “brought together” by their parents, who, during their honeymoon, realize that they are different in almost every possible aspect. Do opposites really attract?
The script is written by Eiad Saleh and directed by Elie El Semaan. The main roles were played by Mahmoud Boushahri, Nour Al-Ghandour, Faisal Almezel and Ascia Al Faraj. Interestingly, this is not the first hit production for Nour Al-Ghandour. The actress, born in Egypt and living in Kuwait, gained great popularity in Arab countries thanks to local series. Ascia Al Faraj, a fashion blogger and model, made her screen debut in the production. If you feel like it, vote in our poll below.
