The Movie

A fun rom-com, on the record

A second named review lands, and it is kind.

Decider's Liz Kocan reviewed All's Fair in Love & Mahjong on May 14, and the verdict, as carried on Rotten Tomatoes, is generous: a fun rom-com with a great premise and cast.

It is the second named press review after Fantasy Land News, and like the first it sets aside the broader cultural debate to talk about whether the movie works as a movie. An audience note on the same page is telling: viewers unfamiliar with mahjong may finish with lingering questions about the rules.

OOTT is not affiliated with the film or the outlet. That lingering question is the one Prim is always happy to answer.
