Reviews
Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Robert Joyner 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
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Amanda Jenkins I'm a movie lover and I have not seen a movie this good in a long time!! My new favorite. Laughed through the whole movie. Sooo funny and the singing was great as well! The actors were well picked ,so many talented awesome people in this film , wonderful screenplay,fantastic director,touching and heartfelt moments throughout the film,a movie that is silly yet makes you think,even see life in a new way,plus you gotta love Molly Shannon,A movie you can watch over and over and not get sick of,a lot of truth in this movie,serious moments,an amazing film about friends,there's a male and female view on a lot of different topics, may be called the wedding weekend but not a chick flick yet girls would love it but guys would love it too,a movie for both the sexes,I can go on and on about this movie,Lol if I had 3 hands I'd give it 3 thumbs up !! :) loved it <3
ctomvelu1 Quasi-musical that will largely appeal to white, affluent, male New Yorkers. Several old college buddies who used to sing a capella reunite for a pal's wedding in the Hamptons (which right there tells you something about the target audience). Some time has passed since they last saw each other. Some have matured and changed, some have not. The cast is mostly appealing, if way too thin and good-looking (so much so that you might think you're watching a reunion of a group of gay friends). The musical interludes are the best parts of the film, by far. Some of the dialog (including a "seize-the-moment" speech by one of the way-too-thin and good-looking wives) and situations (finding a hooker for a divorced buddy) are cringe-inducing. Hey, but this is a low-budget indie, after all. The biggest name in the cast is ex-SNL member Molly Shannon, who plays a boisterous, occasionally crude wife whose schlemiel of a husband couldn't be any more different. Some of you may recognize Mark Feuerstein, who starred in a TV show called ROYAL PAINS and is presently appearing in a theatrical release, KNUCKLHEAD. Except for Shannon, the cast looks like it was put together from Broadway plays and TV soap operas. No fatties or uglies allowed, thank you very much. Oh, for the hetero guys who catch this, keep an eye out for Elsa the 23-year-old Swedish nanny. Also way too thin, but she does love sex.
rjcarlson This film hits me on all levels. I really enjoy films with good music and this certainly has that element. The acapella songs makes it unique. Acting was good and the casting was very good. I was in a multi-generational audience and everyone was having a good time. And finally, there are a few twists that keep things interesting. I think everyone who sees this will come away with someone in the film they identify with and someone they would like to be. I liked it better than many of the latest Hollywood releases that follow a very predictable script. Fresh faces! Better than "Sideways" in many respects. I could see my buddies in several of the characters.
kcashian While the movie does have a cappella singing in it, you don't have to be a big fan of that music to appreciate it (although it is really good in the movie). It's really about the pre-midlife crisis that these guys who used to be in an a cappella group are now facing in their mid-30s as they get together again to sing at a wedding. The acting is really solid and there are so many good characters that you're bound to relate to one of them. Molly Shannon shows she can do a lot more than prat falls playing an outspoken wife who is at times hilarious and also very serious. Guys will love Elssa the Swedish nanny that they all dream about in the movie (a very funny sequence) and women will swoon over the Keanu Reeves-like character Spooner. There are so many laugh-out-loud lines in the movie that I want to see it again to catch them all (unfortunately it's not in theaters yet, I saw it at the HBO Comedy Festival). I saw that it is playing at the Gen Arts Film Festival in NYC in April so try to see it there. YOU WILL LOVE THIS MOVIE!
