For a movie meant to shake viewers out of their ignorance, this clunky drama sure does indulge in a lot of stereotypes.

In Arranged two devout Brooklyn schoolteachers clutch hands across the religious divide as their respective families prepare to marry them off.

Precise lensing, a strong sense of locale and vibrant, eminently likeable perfs enliven Arranged.

Maybe real life isn't as neat as portrayed here. In that case, the drawback is with reality, not the movie.
