Trailer Synopsis Cast

On the eve of their wedding, Alison gets cold feet and decides to break up with her fiancé Phil. But rather than face the embarrassment of calling off the ceremony, Alison suggests to Phil that they proceed with a sham wedding. Phil is more than game to try, secretly hoping that a surprise gift he has for Alison will ultimately change her mind. Yet once the guests begin to arrive, more complications ensue than either of them could have ever imagined - even if they did know their wedding was bullshit.

The two dress up as rabbis as they try to elude not only assasins from Slimane's country, but also the police, who think Pivert is a murderer.

Rahul Seth is a dashing young millionaire who believes he is "western" enough to rebel against his mother and grandmother. They are not too keen about his Caucasian girlfriend Kimberly who, to make matters worse, is a pop star. Before you can say "karmic intervention," Kimberly dies in a freak accident and Rahul is devastated. Instead of allowing him to mourn in peace, Rahul's mother sees the opportunity she's been waiting for. She threatens to call off his sister's wedding unless he finds himself a "nice Indian girl." Rahul enlists the services of Sue, a fiercely independent escort whom he believes to be Hispanic, and therefore not "married" to the conventions taught to young Indian women. With a wink in her eye, Sue accepts the deal to pose as his Indian bride-to-be. She needs the money and having never been a fan of the typical Indian male, she feels her heart is safe. The charade begins....

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

There are too many wedding movies, and found-footage films. However you won't feel labored by the familiarity here. Seems to have a British humor quality to it, following "The Office" type of humor, or a little of "Death at a Funeral". The cast is quite good. Nobody is trying too hard to be funny, and there are laughs, and even when there isn't it seems to have a charm to it throughout. Don't know what the budget what, but it has tight editing, and good unknown (to me) soundtrack selections. Does not feel like an independent film, but a something of cable or theatrical. Indies are flooding the market, and this one as of this date is lost in that shuffle. Also I love the Drew Struzan "Police Academy" type poster.

I finally got to watch "Breakup At A Wedding" last night, and highly recommend it. This, in spite of (or maybe because of, who knows?) my general distaste for 'wedding' movies. I had no idea what to expect, and was therefore very pleasantly surprised by the story, which is told with 'found' footage via the very ambitious videographer (Victor Quinaz/ Vic James -whose credits at the beginning of the movie remind me of the credits in the ultra-short "Bambi vs. Godzilla"). The only annoying element was the occasional 'shaky cam', but I can live with that. Apparently our erstwhile videographer has discovered the secret to perfecting wireless mics (which are notoriously fickle things), and that is what makes this story pop.The cast will be familiar to anyone who has watched any of the "Periods" shorts- and Phil Quinaz ("Phil Havemeyer") takes his turn yet again as the tall, laid-back center of the action. His performance is wonderfully sweet and nuanced, and a great foil for his somewhat panic-stricken bride to be Alison Fyhrie ("Alison Jones") and the rest of the guests and family who are remarkably realistic and hilarious on their own.One of the best scenes involves an ongoing battle for booze between the wedding party and a neighboring SF Cosplay convention, with a hilarious confrontation when things finally come to a head. And there is a wicked twist in the story that is worth the wait.It is clear that making the dozen or so "Periods" shorts has honed the craft and talent of this wonderfully funny and sweet crew (tribe? motley pirate gang?) of filmmakers, actors, and writers. They've crafted a fun and funny little movie that manages to tell a great story without a lot of explosions, grotesque bathroom scenes (although there are some scenes in bathrooms!), or gunplay- which in this day and age, is a rare thing. I look forward to their next endeavor.

I brought my whole family to this movie in its premiere week and we all hysterically laughed throughout the entire thing. My brother and I are still quoting many of the best lines (amazing cameos from various random New York improvisers and actors). I was even touched by the ending, which is a truly rare feat for any comedy made these days. Solid acting, writing, directing, and cinematography -- really, a well produced film all around, with a very original angle.My only complaint is that it's not currently distributed in every single theater in the US... would love all my friends around the country to see this thing.Can't wait to see more from these guys!!!
