I put this for film because I didn't want anything to thought-provoking about right before bed. All the characters were a little over-the-top and there were lots of cloche's going on but about halfway through I realized that there had been no cutaways. After this realization I started paying attention a little bit more and sure enough it was all one long continuous shot for the rest of the film and it was done pretty well. It actually make the film worth watching just to see how it's realized more so than the story itself which doesn't bring any surprises.

What can I say.. Not to shabby. .. Suprisinly a couple of enjoyable hours on a " movie made unlike most " I could go into the details of the exacts of this movie.. The title itself will be either catch you're attention..or maybe not. If you are taking time to read this review... I say watch it... usually a good.judge of movies

One of the best comedies I've seen in the last year.

How I feel about this movie isn't that important, because I believe it is a movie a lot of people will like. I didn't enjoy that much of it, but there were highlights for me, and plenty of good comedy. Just not enough.

What I liked more than anything else was the music. Most of it, anyway. A man named Sean asked for his recorded so-called music to be played and he did a breakdance. He was quite good, actually, and more of this should have been shown, though I was grateful not to hear any more of his "music". Also, the kitchen staff had music playing that I couldn't really hear but didn't care for. But the swing band led by Erik Ekstrand was outstanding. Sure, one groomsman wondered why someone would care so much about nostalgia, but one bridesmaid liked swing music. And so do I. It doesn't sound old. Some of it is pretty hip, and in fact not particularly different from early rock and roll at times. And several cast members danced really well. There were great solos on clarinet and trumpet. Now best man Colt should never have tried to sing that one time.

Plenty of acting performances stood out, but I want to start with the truly unusual.

One man who is never named talked like he came in a pickup truck. He was very happy and nice but obnoxious and not dressed for the occasion. And he said he was sick. Based on what the credits say, I will say this is Chris Rodrick.

The man in charge of catering, who I will conclude is Maxilmiliano (Arturo del Puerto) was Hispanic or Italian and always angry about being asked questions. Until someone makes a comment which is misinterpreted and he is very happy with the attitude "Viva la Revolucion!" And yes, this contributes to one of the many disastrous events.

Greta is one of the bridesmaids and I believe she may have been maid of honor (even though Alex took chare of everything). She shouldn't have been. Not only was she quite drunk the entire movie, but she kept getting in unfortunate and embarrassing situations, such as her underwear being exposed as she came out of the bathroom. Plus she apparently lost her shoes at some point.

Moving on to more normal people, the real standout performer was Allison Paige. Alex took charge and, while she was usually somewhat annoying, she stood out and showed more range later. She was more than just accomplished and intelligent and determined to let everyone know it.

Blake Lee was another main character, Jim, a good friend of Paul and someone Alex used to date. And he wanted to go back to her. He was nice enough.

And then there is Moses Storm as Skyler, a bumbling and awkward guy who we were really supposed to like, even as he had unpleasant experiences.

Was this family friendly? As with so many movies I watch on TV, this one had the sound go out a lot and a character's mouth blurred when it did. A shocked Aunt Sylvia heard the c-word, and was told that's not a bad word these days, but actually a compliment. And couples went in the restroom to do you-know-what, or they at least made out on the grounds of the venue. Or talked about doing you-know-what.

It is suggested that a bird explodes. We just see feathers flying and comments that it happened.

What I didn't like was so much relationship drama and arguing about this and that.

However, this reception had one crisis after another and a couple of disasters.

I liked it enough, but it just wasn't ideal.
