Friday WatchAlong: Mubarakan! For CHRISTMAS! And Happiness. Starts at 3pm Chicago Time

Posted on December 11, 2020 by mredlich21

So excited about this movie! It is so dumb! We will have so much fun! Oh, and also, London at Christmas time!

Mubarakan! Big fun dumb mistaken identity comedy. You can watch it on Netflix in some places, Prime in some other places, and einthusan everywhere.

At 3pm I will put an “And PLAY” comment on this post, and then you all start just commenting along with me. It will be fun!

Oh! Or maybe Anil could end up with Nafisa! The two most attractive people in this movie.

I’m glad someone is properly appreciating Nafisa, but I think she can do better than jerk brother.
