The People We Hate at the Wedding

I'll start by saying something nice, it had high production value, and very lovely locations. It's a shame the plot, characters, dialog and other essential elements of a good movie were missing.

This is a poorly written, unfunny film. It was so awful I have to assume it was written by an AI, who took the elements of a funny movie but simply didn't understand how to write for a human audience. I've seen 3/10 star Hallmark movies with better developed plots and characters.

I genuinely like the actors in this film, but given the script there's no amount of talent that could have saved this movie.

I turned it off roughly 1 hour in, because I didn't care how it ended.

Allison Janney has been nominated for and won so many awards over the past 30 years that it takes a separate, linked Wikipedia entry just to list them all. For her mere presence in this movie I must give this movie an extra star on its rating. And Kristen Bell, of Veronica Mars and Frozen fame (and all the ensemble & supporting roles in both TV & movies that she's had in between), isn't exactly chopped liver, y'know. So then why isn't this made-for-streaming movie better than it is? Honestly, I'm not sure. But if you're a big fan of these women (as I am), or of the young Tony-winning star of "Dear Evan Hansen," it's still worth the 99-minute investment to watch.

This movie is one incoherent scene full of people who don't even remotely act like real people after another. Ben Platt and Kristen Bell are absolutely insufferable and made me actively angry. There's almost no explanation for how awful these characters are or why they hate their sister for no reason. This isn't an Always Sunny in Philadelphia situation where it's entertaining watching awful people do awful things, it's more so I want to rip my eyeballs out and extract the memory of this wretched pain from my brain. Also, this has some of the most egregiously disgusting product placement I've ever seen. It's like watching that fake Korean Subway tv show from John Oliver.

This was a truly horrible experience that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Please avoid this like the plague.

100-minute stinker of a movie with hugely unlikable characters.

Annoying extended family of losers reunite in London for a pretentious wedding. That's about it.

Kristen Bell is way too old for playing the sap having an affair with her jerky boss. Then there's Ben Platt playing a gay dope who breaks up with this boyfriend at the wedding of the bi-racial sister.

Then there's Allison Janney as the ditz mother who seems to be having an affair with one of her ex-husbands. My guess is they're supposed to be screwball comedy tropes but they come off as annoying jerks.

One of the stupidest scenes has the bride and her screeching pals going for a ride in a hot tub on the Thames. Gee, I wonder if they'll fall into the river.

Really bad.

It is a decent movie that I watched with my wife and she enjoyed the silliness of it all. Plus she likes Allison Janney from the show Mom. Yes all the characters were cardboard but there were some hilarious parts.

The best line was where Mr. Bottom told Alice the real reason why she behaved the way she did around men.

Yes it was silly but what did you expect from these actors. In the end it had a nice ending and everyone was happy and content.

My wife watches movies that I like and she tolerates it. So I can do the same and tolerate the movies that she enjoys. All in all it made for a good evening and beyond! :)
