The Big Wedding / Rated R for language, brief nudity, sexual situations
This film is about a wedding. Not just any wedding but a big wedding. Really big. It has a Big cast. A really big cast. The movie is so big that the multiplex where I viewed this film had the audience watch the left half of the film in one theater then move next door to watch the right half. Now that’s big. Even the chariot race in Ben Hur wasn’t this big. Otherwise that film would have been called Big Ben Hur which makes the main character sound like a lumberjack.
What is big, as mentioned above, is the cast. It’s as big as it gets. Let’s go over the big names. Just the really big ones. We will skip the small names for the sake of space. Robert De Niro, Diane Keaton, Katherine Heigl, Amanda Seyfried, Susan Sarandon and Robin Williams. Biggest cast in history. If not in shock I probably at least put you into a state of star struck awe.
The story is about a big wedding. With a twist. The twist is all of the quirky dysfunctional family traits everybody exhibits before we get to the big wedding. The main problem we have to get through is that Big star Robert DN. plays a sculptor who lives with Big star Susan S. but used to be married to even Bigger star Diane K. They have an adopted son who is about to be married but his biological mom played by an actress too small in stature to mention here is coming to the wedding. She is a devout Catholic and very strict. She is from South America and doesn’t speak English. Lot’s of ruses are brought into play to fool her about what is going on. Big Big star Robin Williams is the Catholic Priest performing the big wedding ceremony. Big star Katherine H. is the daughter of Robert and Diane. She has problems. Big problems. Amanda S. is a small girl but a Big star. She is marrying the adopted son. We don’t have time to go into all of their problems or the even worse problems of his parents.
Overall an OK 90 minute comedy/drama with scenery filmed in and around Darien and Greenwich Connecticut which looks better on screen than the big stars. Not a lot we haven’t seen before in many other films so my best recommendation is wait for the DVD. The stars will shine just as bright for you there and it will cost a lot less cash.
Rated 2.5 gazillion out of 4.0 gazillion really big stars.
