The Wedding Party

Charming and Delightful
This movie is a real "sleeper" - and I mean that in the sense that not too many people seem to know about it, not that it is a movie that will put you to sleep.
I rented it, not expecting too much, but was delightfully surprised. It is well-written, with solid and believable dialogue. All of the characters are absolutely lovable, which is unusual in a film. You just feel for everyone and all of the things they are going through. And everyone's acting is first-rate. No real screw-ups in that department.
The only downside is that it takes a bit of work during the beginning of the movie to figure out who everyone is, how they are related, and how their lives intersect. However, once you've gotten that figured out, the rest of the movie is just really enjoyable and engaging.
Hats off to everyone who was involved in it. Definitely worth a look!

Good for a no brainer wedding farce
So I wasn't expecting to enjoy this one. I thought...eh, its been done before. But this Australian gem really keep me rolling. The family dynamics are hilarious and a little too close for comfort. Our lead is that character that you can't help rooting for. He tries so hard to do the right thing and just keeps digging his hole deeper and deeper. It's fun and light hearted.

Surpisingly Raw and Honest Comedy
I'm a sucker for wedding films even as cheezy as they can be, but this one was different. There was some raw, honesty and interesting plot twists. Would certainly recommend.
