Overall, I liked the movie. It is a light, comedy, romantic movie. I think the main reason people loved this movie is the Arabic culture which is rarely presented in western movies. As a Muslim and Arab as well, I can tell that from a point of view of Canadian or American this is Romantic lovely story, but from my point of view there are lots of contradiction in this movie.

How a 40 years old women living in the Canada for this long, wearing Hegab and refusing to let a man to seize her hand will jump to bed with him that easy. The fast changing of the family and especially the brother look to the lady's boyfriend is funny. Accepting your sister to spend a night with here boyfriend this is non realistic. Also, the end is like a fast systematic happy end. It could be written much better.

To be honest, I think that this movie presents Canadian people with Arabian culture, not Arabian people living in Canada. That's why I liked this movie. And by the way, these women don't know how to dance. They are not good dancers at all.
