It's hard to explain how awful this is without a raft of plot points, which would defeat the purpose of watching it anyway. It is cinematically often gorgeous and is fortunate to enjoy decent (or in the case of its main character, very good) acting, and together they get the extra star, but this is a weak, often unendurable because what?? movie. The slowness (though sometimes yeah too much) has nothing to do with it. The most plausible plot point does not in fact involve a person, and there are many, many plot points involving people. Also, the most plausible plot point isn't plausible either.
Suffice to say: it checks the disparate boxes of epic wedding story, mental illness story, and disaster story, and if any/all of those are your bag, enjoy suffering through it. They are separate stories for, this film proposes, very good reasons.
Dude needs to hire a writer and maybe an artistic-reality checker or two, and so do all his backers.

It's not about whether you can have the time back, it's about whether it can be unseen. It cannot.
A bathetic feast, featuring characters who aren't, story points that couldn't start a connect-the-dots, and a very healthy dose of Jesus. Deeply offensive to just a whole range of people connected to children, parents, abortion, adoption, and all the other things that sailed ahead of this writing/directing powerhouse in the name of Message.
If you stumble on this, run away. My one regret is that I have to give it an extra star.

The soundtrack, the 80s-ness, the odd pacing are a total put-off out of the gate. At first it looks like it might be like 100s of movies since--stupid vehicles of storylessness built to sell tickets, or at least rentals, or at least late-night premium cable channel time slots.
Don't be misled--this just might be the most charming ugly-styled, lumpy-paced, horribly-scored movie you've ever seen. Tremendous frank, simple work from the cast. With a rare and extraordinary attention to the goofy, pointless detail, a.k.a., y'know, "life". There is plenty to overlook, I suppose, but it didn't demand a great effort to do so. Hats off to all involved.
