"Honeymoonish" is a remarkably progressive film for an Islamic country like Kuwait, offering a unique blend of beautiful landscapes, hotels, and Western-style settings, all while maintaining a touch of Islamic standards and local culture. The movie's lighthearted and comedic take on the challenges of interfaith relationships, cultural differences, and personal growth make it an entertaining and relatable watch.

One of the film's strengths is its ability to balance humor and drama, with the first half of the movie filled with laugh-out-loud moments, particularly around the question of whether the couple is actually brother and sister. The only drawback is the exaggerated portrayal of the girls fat lips and her expressive mannerisms, which detract from the overall impact of her character.

Despite this minor flaw, "Honeymoonish" is a feel-good movie that will leave you smiling and inspired. The film's lovable script, beautiful scenery, and relatable characters make it a must-watch for fans of the romantic comedy genre. And, as an added bonus, the movie's soundtrack features the catchy and easily Shazamed "Hayo" by Robert Alasaad. Overall, "Honeymoonish" is a delightful and refreshing film that is sure to bring a smile to your face.
