It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

This film is about a Polish family in America who have to deal with many problems, including the wife's affair and the daughter's disgrace."Polish Wedding" is said to be a comedy, but in fact it is really boring. Throughout the film, women are portrayed to be in power. Lines like "How can women come from men? In fact it's the other way around", or scenes like Hala saying to Schuster "Kiss my feet" or "You can't kiss me unless I say so" are just plain turn off. I am not against feminism, but this film looks more like a feminist propaganda. The scene where Hala and Schuster talk about boldness is meant to be romantic, but turns out to be ridiculous and unwatchable.It lacks suspense to be a thriller. It lacks pace to be a drama. It lacks jokes to be a comedy. It lacks romance to be a date film. Avoid this very bad film!

It is quite obvious that whoever is responsible for this film knows absolutely nothing about the culture of Poland or the Catholic Church. Some of the scenes bordered on sacrilege. A priest man-handing a young woman during a May procession honoring the Virgin Mary....I mean get real !!! This movie is a complete fantasy and NOT a good one. Don't waste your time or money on this turkey.I have to say also that the process to even comment on this disaster of a film is so ridiculous that it is set up to actually NOT provide comment. Since the film in my opinion is anti-Catholic bigotry at it's worst I can understand why they would want to do that.

This movie is highly entertaining with unpredictable, character-driven, plot twists that pull you in like the smell of comfort food cooking in the kitchen. The story itself is a grand view into the mundane working world of fighting, resentments, loyalty and ultimate forgiveness, of a large Polish family all living together in the same house.Mother and daughter are powerful and attractive and the men alternately ignore them, wait for them, and chase after them. The matriarch of the family is romantically unfulfilled but finds meaning and purpose in the context of her family and children. The daughter is growing into adulthood and recognizing her feminine power in the context of a budding relationship but, like her mother before her, ultimately trapped. The members of this emotional but practical Polish immigrant family don't live life, life lives them. The characters and performances make this movie well worth watching.

i cant believe that they ever approved production of this movie. it was one of the worst and unrealistic movies i have ever seen. its portrayal of the polish community was a load of BS. The only thing that was polish in this movie was the ogorki, which didn't look half bad , sadly i cant say the same goes for the rest of this film, which obviously was made by someone who didn't really like polish people.Save yourself two hours of your life and do not, i repeat DO NOT waste your time watching this movie, instead spend your time and money elsewhere i recommend you head to blockbuster and rent my big fat Greek wedding, now that was at least funny.
