Beautiful Wedding

What even is this movie and why am I watching it? Beautiful disaster was NOT a comedy. Why insult the author this way you cruel cruel producers. The source material was dramatic, edgy, slightly dark with a HEA. This is absolutely trash comedy and not even funny. C. R. I. N. G. E.

If you like the book, or even just remotely entertaining movies, this movie is not for you. I beg you to please do literally anything other than watch this film. Get a root canal for example. Clean the drain on the dishwasher.

This movie should be deleted from history; it has literally no redeeming features and my life is worse having watched even half of it. Could not finish.

I loved the first movie, but damn, Africa, what happened? There's not even any romance (which the first one had while being silly); instead it is like a three stooges episode the entire time. I feel bad for Virginia Gardner and Dylan Sprouse why must have been locked into a contract. I also feel really bad for the actual author who I'm sure wrote a way better book than this is.

I have no idea if I will be able to make it through the last thirty minutes of this, just like I have no idea how to add two hundred more words to this review.

I saved this movie to watch specifically when I was drunk, and not even that helped. It is really THAT bad. Save yourself.

This film is just awful. I struggle to find the words to say anything. I quite enjoyed Beautiful Disaster and was waiting for this but.....it's just horrible.

Required characters is 600 that is almost as painful trying to find words as watxhing this film was.

I am all for a bit of nonsense, something that doesn't require thought, something to distract me from the mundaneness of life and the awfulness of reality but this is not it.

Do something else. Watch something else. Call someone. But do not switch this film on. It's not even funny bad is it's just utterly, completely and shockingly bad.

This follows Beautiful Disaster (2023) and its closing credits slide show. Abby Abernathy (Virginia Gardner) and Travis Maddox (Dylan Sprouse) are in Vegas with their friends America (Libe Barer) and Shepley (Austin North). They wake up shocked to find a load of cash and that Abby and Travis had gotten married. The foursome goes on the run to a Mexican resort and escape from Benny (Rob Estes) looking to get paid.

I really like the two lead actors. The first movie isn't much. I wish I liked it, but I could not abide by the slap-dashed attempts at broad humor. This movie tries even harder, and they still don't have that comedic sidekick. It's a struggle. First, I didn't remember a lot of the first movie. I had forgotten all together that she played poker. I blocked the last half of the movie after the hand job. In a way, I blocked the last half of this movie after all the boobs. What can I say? Those are the most memorable moments and they aren't that funny. Let's hope that there are no more books to turn into movies.

This movie is a disgrace and to be quite frank, a slap in the face to the book series fandom. Based on this film and the previous I would even go as far to say they were intentionally made to not only make fun of but completely dismantle the entire series itself.

Save your money. If you wish to see how the films should have been done I recommend reading the books. They contain much different storylines that are worth telling. It's a shame that time and effort was actually put into this as what seems to be nothing more than a joke when it could have been done well.

Giving this a 2 is a kindness which is mostly for a few of the actors whom I respect.
