Don't Give Up too Early!
You may say this is just dumb early on and it is in a smartly written sort of way. The dialogue is fun the set up a bit silly and the wedding a disaster of unprecedented magnitude, but around the 36 minute mark there is a breath of fresh air that will sweep you away. That breath comes in the form of Cathy DeBuono who plays Risa. Risa makes every scene better as she takes over. That is not to say that the cliched character of Jonathon isn't a hoot or that Andrea Marcellus's Alex doesn't deliver her complicated lines perfectly, because they do, but Cathy DeBuono is just in another universe.
