Belo Desastre - O Casamento

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.

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.

This movie is so low budget that I cannot believe it was greenlit by the production company. My bar for the movie was low to begin with but this exceeded my expectations of just how bad it was.

I am not really sure who the audience was that this movie was made for but the trailer is definitely better than the actual movie and does a great job of selling a fake story / plot. When the voice overs and animations started I could already tell I made a terrible mistake. Also the inclusion of a gangster storyline served exactly zero purpose. I actually felt bad for some of the actors for having been in this movie. It was super cringe, don't waste your time. 2 stars just for the effort and because I like some of the actors.

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.

Ah, "Beautiful Wedding" (2024), a cinematic adventure where Abby and Travis accidentally marry in Vegas and think, "Why not honeymoon in Mexico?" sounds like the kind of movie you'd invent to win a bet on making the most predictable rom-com ever. Yet, here it is, in all its glory, demanding that we sit through nearly two hours of what could only be described as a series of unfortunate events that make you wish they had annulled the movie along with the marriage.

First off, the chemistry between Abby and Travis is as convincing as a tofu steak at a barbecue. Their attempts at romantic banter feel more like awkward exchanges between strangers who've been forced to share a cab. The supporting cast of friends and family are intended to add spice and laughter but instead come off like they wandered in from a different, possibly more interesting movie set. Each gag lands with the subtlety of a brick, and the slapstick scenarios are as fresh as last week's guacamole.

By the time the plot drags us to the picturesque beaches of Mexico, you hope for some redemption or maybe a beautiful scenic distraction. But no, the film doubles down on its commitment to mediocrity with a series of predictable misunderstandings and reconciliations that feel as though they were scripted by a chatbot programmed to churn out clichés. "Beautiful Wedding" tries to be a feast of fun and fails spectacularly, serving up nothing but reheated leftovers from better movies. One and a half stars, and even that feels like a wedding gift.
