| Great black comedy (by almavro) |
| It's hard for me to understand the number of negative comments here, unless puritanism has swamped the USA and drowned all humor with it.This is a slice-of-life black comedy that touches a number of nerve endings, inviting us to laugh at the same time. I won't ruin the anticipation but will say that I nearly choked on my popcorn over the opening de Niro/Sarandan/Keaton scene, which has to rank as an all-time classic. Certainly, some of the characters are a bit shallow as - ahem! - one finds in real life , but there are so many plots and sub-plots that the movie can be excused for not <more> |
| Much Better than the reviews want you to believe (by travelsafe23) |
| I loved this movie! It is funny, has a great cast, and there is an amusing story.Maybe, as some reviewers have commented, the movie is aimed at an older audience, the aging baby-boomers. Well, what's wrong with that? We are a big audience, we like to spend money, if only there's a film worth seeing. This one is a film worth seeing.There is plenty to amuse a younger audience, if they can handle how their own behaviour comes across, the 29 year old virgin, the pregnant daughter and her absent man, the south American honey. And then, thee's the rest of the story, about the grown-ups, <more> |
| amazing scenery (by xuelingyunguaiguai) |
| funny beginning and happy ending. i'm super love the great view of the house, how i wish i had a house like that~ a wooden plank straight to the beautiful lake! all the actors/actresses are great, the plot makes me laugh frequently.it's suitable for a family weekend get together movie watch, and for romantic lovers who is planning a wedding party, or when your mood is really down, you can just watch for some laughs and joy.only one so-unpleasant thing is, i think this movie is a little short and it will be better if filled with more funny parts and meaningful lines.in my perspective, <more> |
| A very funny film but not for the prudish (by david_kravitz) |
| I do not understand the rating of 5.4 at the time of writing nor the very poor review of one of the contributors. My partner and I saw this film last night and found it one of the funniest films in years. And, judging by the laughter, most of the audience agree. Bear in mind that for a majority of the audience English is not their first language either.A word of caution for prudes. There are three scenes of a highly sexual nature that are extremely funny for those who are not.This is another in the growing trend of using mature actors and it is good to see Diane Keaton and Susan Sarendon in <more> |
| A wedding you won't forget (by DarkVulcan29) |
| A divorced couple Robert De Niro, Diane Keaton have to pretend to be married,cause there adopted son Ben Barns real mother, is coming for his wedding and thinks divorce is a big time sin. How will they all make it threw this whole weekend? I went into this movie with such low expectations, but I was surprisingly entertained by it. Cause you really enjoy laughing at all these characters, they are SO pathetic at times. It's never to predictable as it appears, and the vulgar is very subtle. Robert De Niro was good, So was Diane Keaton, Susan Sarandon, Topher Grace, Katherine Heigl, Robin <more> |
| A fun, raunchy, feel good comedy about a messed up family (by Robert_duder) |
| I loved The Big Wedding. It took an ensemble cast and showed why a group of big talent sometimes can do the very best work together. I was very surprised when I read some of the reviews on IMDb that called the film unrealistic and awkward. Are these the same movie goers that makes Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill and so on billion dollar movie actors? Are the disgusting gross out comedies not awkward? This doesn't even begin to touch those in the raunchy department. Much of the film's comedy and drama come in the awkward moments. This is a very dysfunctional family and their <more> |
