Synopsis:

Nina, obviously the apple of her fathers eye leaves her family home in Glasgow and heads to the bright lights of London to escape an arranged marriage.

As the head of a middle class family, her father runs a highly successful restaurant and has an otherwise stable marriage and family

Before any reconciliation could be made between Nina and her dad, he suddenly dies precipitating her return to Glasgow

With the death of the patriarch, the business comes under threat and it is up to Nina to try and save the family business. Also, she wants to fulfill her fathers dream of winning the local restaurant contest and sets about doing this.

All however is not as straight forward as it seems. Nina is yet to come out to her family which in itself is not a problem if she had not fallen for her business partner, Lisa.

Throw into the mix a secret marriage, her mothers own deep secrets, a drag queen and a family whose culture demands 'respectability'.

 

Review:

Nina's heavenly delights is slightly above average. The formula is familiar and the storyline is predictable.

However the acting is pretty solid and the theme is believable. When you have someone like Art Malik in a film you know that however formulaic the films synopsis may appear, there will be something relevant about the movie

Overall a well made, feel-good movie that addresses a few issues about  family values

I personally enjoyed Nina's heavenly delights and will definitely watch it again
