Beautiful Wedding

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.

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.

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.

While the production quality of this film is high, its shortcomings are glaring. This supposed comedy flick fails to deliver on every front. With zero storyline and no character depth, it's a disappointment from start to finish. The humor in this film feels incredibly forced, and the storyline lacks a clear direction, making it difficult to follow. None of the scenes manage to elicit even a chuckle, with the comedy falling flat at every turn. Instead of genuine wit, viewers are subjected to a barrage of cheap jokes that do little more than pad out the movie's runtime One viewing is more than enough to realize this film's lack of substance and entertainment value. The first movie was better than this one, but this will just make your head scratch.
