Truly Dreadful Film

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Wow, it's one of those rare cinematic experiences where you really can't believe what you're seeing. Some of the best actors in the world in the most banal movie ever. You're kind of curious what they were thinking, was it really just for the money? Maybe it was fun for them to make, because it sure was painful for us to watch.

This must be one of the few rare American movies what actually delivered a feeling of recognition. It's not like the usual romcom. Life can sometimes become. It just does... and that it what this movie shows us. It actually shows us what life sometimes can be. It's reality. And that is what makes this movie so very special. Go see it for yourself. Just let yourself sink with the characters (they are very well portrayed. This is just the way family life is.***spoilers***The story line is very well written. It's the best one I have encountered in years. I gave this movie only an 8 out of 10 because while the elder part of the cast was definitely on fire, the younger part just didn't match.

The Big Wedding is certainly slam packed with star power including Diane Keaton, Susan Sarandon, Robert De Niro, Topher Grace, Robin Williams, Amanda Seyfried, Ben Barnes, and Katherine Heigl. After all the bad reviews, I assumed it was going to be bad, but I was pleasantly surprised, kinda. This film was actually not half bad, pretty good actually. Many jokes and scenes in the movie were funny. Also, the acting was very good here, from all the actors. I really enjoyed all the star power, especially from Diane and Susan, 2 of my favorite actresses of all Hollywood. Also this film has lots of sweet heart warming moments amongst all the funny goings on that occur throughout. 6/10

The Big Wedding is a romantic comedy has a large ensemble cast that includes Robert De Niro, Katherine Heigl, Diane Keaton, Amanda Seyfried, Topher Grace, Ben Barnes, Susan Sarandon, and Robin Williams. The story is about a gathering of a family for the wedding of Alejandro,the adopted son of Don and Ellie. This is a remake of the original French film "Mon Frère se Marie",which was written by Jean- Stéphane Bron and Karine Sudan. Justin Zackham wrote the screenplay and directed it.The story is focused on a modern family who is trying to prepare and practically survive a weekend wedding celebration.This happens when long divorced couple,Don and Ellie Griffin decides to once again play a happy couple for the sake of their adopted son's wedding.This was prompted when after his ultra conservative biological mother unexpectedly decides to fly from Columbia to attend the celebration.In the process of doing so,the Griffins are confronted to provide closure to unresolved issues of their past, present and future.Despite the involvement of talented actors and actresses in the movie,it was from being funny and entertaining.The screenplay provides nothing new to the viewer as many have definitely seen the themes presented as a rehash of many films that were shown in the past.Too bad that even the charming actors and actresses involved in it such as De Niro,Keaton,Williams,Seyfried and Grace aren't effective in making viewers laugh as the jokes are far from being refreshing and original.What's worse,Heigl's forgettable performance as a pompous character brings the it down further.Too bad that the cast could not save the film from its poor screenplay.Overall,it was a total disappointment and complete waste of the talent of the cast.
