The Big Wedding

It's never too late to start acting like a family.

This film once again illustrates that good actors also need to eat. Based on a better French film, it revolves around a complex family who come together for the wedding of an adopted son. His adoptive parents are long divorced, but since his biological mother will be attending, and is very religious, he asks his adoptive parents to pretend to still be married. They agreed, and things go downhill from there.

What the Critics say
ReelViews James Berardinelli The Big Wedding feels like nothing more ambitious than a big screen sit-com. It's tired and dated with too few laughs to justify the stultifying attempts at drama and the impossible-to-swallow plot contortions.	8
ScreenIt C. Fuchs Perhaps the funeral version would have been the wiser choice.	7
