The Big Wedding Trailers

To the amusement of their adult children and friends, long-divorced couple Don and Ellie Griffin are forced to play the happy couple for the sake of their adopted son's wedding after his ultra conservative Catholic biological mother unexpectedly decides to fly halfway across the world to attend. With all of the wedding guests looking on, the Griffins are hilariously forced to confront their past, present and future - and hopefully avoid killing each other in the process.

SunnyHello Nice effects though.
Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
phoenix 2 A movie with lots and lots of actors never, or at least almost never, end up a success. The Big Wedding isn't an exception. The story starts with two divorced spouses who have to pretend to be still married for their adopted son's religious mother, who has come for his wedding. The story isn't really interesting by itself, and the additional little stories that accompany the main tale aren't helping really. The performances are almost terrible, as the actors don't really try to act, seemed to me as they had given up because of the script that has no freshness, no interest and no humour. Sure, the scenery was nice, but the story kept becoming more and more terrible, as more things were added and in the end the result was a big flop. So 2 out of 10.
erins-44941 This is a very cute & upbeat movie with a lot of twist & turns along the away (as in EVERY planning and having a wedding, even in real life - I should know I owned a successful Bridal & Formal Boutique, so I can tell you!). I really had a lot of fun watching such wonderful and talented cast of actors doing their trait so masterfully...but...the only problem I had was, that the premise has been done before and was very predictable. That being said - still didn't stop me from really liking it and feeling good during & after the movie. ;) PS- one more thing....THAT HOME! Just beautiful w/ that setting!! Wonder what that goes for in Connecticut?!? (Wish I could just afford the taxes - let alone the home!! Haha )
bonneklide Bad. Just bad. It tried to be funny but it just wasn't. I'm no prude & sexual jokes can be funny but all of them in this movie just came off as dumb and awkward. I didn't really like the characters either. Plus it was offensive to other cultures at times also. I like Katherine Heigel (sp) but she was so un likable in this movie. Bland, bitter & just whatever. I'm from Colombia and soooo much of this was just wrong. For one, its not that easy for Colombian citizens to get visas to leave the country. Two, Colombian adoptions aren't like in the US where the biological mother just signs her child over to a willing couple. Just doesn't happen. At any rate, don't waste your time. I watched the whole movie and still wonder why. Slow, long & lacking so much in every way.
Chrysanthepop Given the premise (deduced from the trailer) and the title I was thinking of skipping 'The Big Wedding' but it's got Hollywood's finest actors like Robin Williams, Susan Sarandon, Diane Keaton and Robert de Niro. Surely, the film is at least worth a watch for their performance, right? Well, a more appropriate title for the movie would have been 'The Big Disaster In the Name of a Movie'. Yes, it's messy, silly and...not funny. 'the Big Wedding' was sold as a romantic comedy wedding flick but the 'jokes' appear forced, desperate and lack originality. Moreover it pokes fun at Catholics, free spirited people and divorced couples. The aforementioned talented actors are wasted which is a real shame. The younger cast's performance ranges from average to poor. The set and outdoor sceneries provide some nice eye-candy. Loaded with clichés, pretending to be funny and wasting talents, this expensive film is kind of...well, trash.
