Com Quem Será?

"Destination Wedding" turned out to be a wonderfully offbeat movie, and I was genuinely entertained throughout the entire movie. I had initially expected it to be just another generic romantic comedy given the fact that it had Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves on the cast list.

Writer and director Victor Levin had really managed to come up with something unique here. While the movie is set around a romantic topic, it is approached from a side angle, as the two characters aren't the ones getting married, but instead are two fringe characters attending the wedding of their half-brother and former husband. And it worked out so nicely that both Frank (played by Keanu Reeves) and Lindsay (played by Winona Ryder) were characters deeply troubled by issues.

This was definitely one of the better performances that I have seen from Winona Ryder in a long, long time, and I will say that she was really well-cast for the role of Lindsay. And while one might argue that Keanu Reeves is reinventing himself with the "John Wick" movies, then he is phenomenal as Frank in "Destination Wedding", because he really nailed the offbeat character so well. And put together, then Ryder and Reeves really have fantastic chemistry on the screen.

I am glad that writer and director Victor Levin opted not to go for a traditional romantic comedy here, and instead giving us "Destination Wedding" as it turned out to be. If you haven't already seen this wonderful movie, then you definitely should take the time to do so if you are given the chance. This was a wonderfully humorous and memorable movie.

Winona Ryder has been single for so long she forgot how to talk to people.

Both smartasses are cynical type that mumble sarcastic comments about everyone else in the room from the corner without noticing how bitter and envious they sound.

The pacing is slow and awkward at times making it seem less like a movie and more realistic, like they were real people or something.

It's awkward, witty, funny, smart and a special kind of sweet. The most realistic rom-com I've seen in ages and a definite must see. I don't get the negative reviews, the one flaw I see is that the leads are too sexy for the "that one loser that came to the wedding without a date" role they were playing but hey I they're good so what!

It is the absolute opposite of every adjective you'd use to describe a romance movie. This has no magical moments or an amazing scene when the two characters meet or fall in love. I generally think Keanu Reeves doesn't do much acting, his character is usually the same in every movie, but in this it was perfect casting. Winona Ryder as well. Him being him, Winona being Winona, it felt very genuine, none of the conversation seemed forced, it's like you're a fly on the wall following two strangers through a weekend.

It's anticlimactic but somehow keeps you interested all throughout with the dialogue, sarcasm and the lead characters who find each other despicable. And that brings out several funny scenes as well.

I'm surprised the rating isn't higher but then again it isn't a movie for everyone, it's very "anti-romantic" and only two characters speak throughout the entirety of the film which some people don't enjoy or appreciate. But this is a special movie. Reminds me of Before We Go and the Before trilogy, just bile and rancor instead.

Watching unpleasant characters onscreen isn't always a fun thing to do, so casting Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder is very smart. They're both charismatic. In their fourth film together, are clearly having a great chemistry, and they won me over. Ryder is a gifted actress, and Reeves, manages to turn his signature woodenness into comedy. And together? It's a powerful force. This story about two narcissistic, cynical characters could quickly have become irritating, but writer-director Victor Levin takes an interesting approach to nearly every scene and his dialogue is relentless. This film isn't the romantic comedy that audiences are hoping for but it's very entertaining and is a must movie theater destination. nikisreviews.gr

Just saw this movie with my 18 year old son. We both laughed out loud. It is a very verbose script with lots of sardonic humor and dialogue. But we really liked it. Always a fan of Rider and Reeves. They are just my generation and I have a certain affection for their movies. What was surprising is that my teenage son liked it so much. I was a little skeptical taking him to see it because I knew it had mixed reviews. In the end he said he found it entertaining. The whole movie is all about the two charters meeting each other and their interpretation of the wedding. There is no other context or character interaction, but it works. It's an amusing delightful weird unorthodox relationship movie.
