Wordiezett So much average
Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
reysia I don't know why it just got low rating in IMDb. For me, this movie is a quite interesting and tells us about getting-married story. It tells us that getting married isn't easy but when you love someone and love will help you stand in every problem ahead.Luci and Marcus are 2 persons who will get married. Their marriage isn't an usual one. They came from two different race and that makes both of their father don't like that. Furthermore, their fathers just had a problem each other on the street and that makes the condition worse. Luci and Marcus tried so many ways to convince their fathers that they are really want to get married. There were so much problem happening that made both of them finally face a crucial condition that made them wants to stop the marriage plan.This movie tells me the real thing that really happens often in life. People who are getting married often feel not ready just before the wedding day. There are so many pressure that happens. That's not weird. It's very human being. But the thing is how you and your couple can face it together... When you love someone, you'll know how to do it and when you love someone , you'll always know that every little problem that come and will-come will strengthen your relationship. :)I was wondering if my wedding plan will be like this. +_+ So many problem, nearly fail or maybe don't get permission from parents. lol That will be interesting and i've to prepare myself from now. ^_^
Charlotte Younge But that's besides the point. I loved, loved, loved this movie! I am appalled IMDb, that this film has only received a 3.7/10 rating! Honestly, I was just making a review today about how the film industry needs a fresh take on things, something different, and this movie is it. It's been taken too harshly. Most movies are guilty of a few clichés here and there, but I felt this movie was so warm-hearted and genuine, and had a lovely message come across. You gotta admit, it took real cojones to make a movie about relationships we see everyday, but hardly talk about, out loud: Interacial couples. It had to be done... it's the 21st century, and I can barely list on my 10 fingers how many good films have been made about this topic. Guess Who (2005) comes to mind... but really, that's just sad that there aren't more interracial couples incorporated into movies, especially the big-budget ones. Pieces of April (2003) is another one, one that isn't listed as a comedy, but is in its own sense. Movies like these are dying to be made. There are so many cultures in the world, I would love to learn more about them. I actually learned from this movie too. I know traditions were always important when it came to weddings, but I didn't know it went as far as sacrificing a goat (don't worry, they don't actually do it). But I was cheering on Lucia (America Ferrera, love that girl) and Marcus (Lance Gross) the whole time.Just do it, watch this movie! It contains something soooo many movies are seriously lacking these days: CHEMISTRY! They actually seem like a real family. Don't worry, Carlos Mencia's acting isn't as bad as everybody says it is, Forest & Regina are just... bliss, I wish they really were a couple, and everyone else was just phenomenal. I did notice the lady who plays America's grandmother (Lupe Ontiveros) also played her mother in Real Women Have Curves (2002)... which only adds to the amazing chemistry! Ciao for now.
shorvath55 I rented this movie from the Local Video Store and watched it with little or now expectation of any kind. To my surprise, I felt very pleased with this production that touched the base of cross-cultural barriers that we now so often experience in our Society. After all, America is a melting pot of Cultures and of different Ethnic groups of parents who'd migrated to this land of opportunity to better their families's lives. Problems arise when young ones fall in love with each other from different Cultures, and than they have to bring their desire to marry each other to their families who each want to follow their own Cultural Path's to marry the young couple. Here it is what lies at the heart of this story, which is about understanding, cooperating, respecting, and working together with each other's families while joining the young couple in their sanctity of holy matrimony, or simply put, getting hitched. This movie had brought me a lot of laughter and serious issues to think about in terms of Race Relations and Tolarence for each other's Cultures! I think it is a must see! Steve Horvath, Chicago, IL
dorianj-4 I completely disagree with gregeichelberger's review. I thought this was a great film and I don't see why gregeichelberger was so concerned with WHITE people. This film is not about WHITE people. Now that does not mean that this film cannot be enjoyed by White people, but this film concerns race relations between two cultures that have had issues over the years. I get the impression that gregeichelberger does not understand this fact nor appreciate how prevalent these issues are today. Either way, please do not take his review as the gospel truth.The basic plot of the story is pretty standard; a young couple fall in love and their parents do not like each other at all. However, with this film there is the added element of race relations between Latin and African American cultures. These relations are portrayed through numerous hilarious actions and comments that are not race sensitive, but definitely reflective of historic issues between the cultures and very funny. If you know Spanish you will definitely get more of a laugh out of this film.Throughout the beginning of the movie young couple sort of roll with the punches as their families clamor to claim what aspects of what culture will be represented in the weeding. As the film progresses the couple goes through adversity based on their families craziness, but they find a way through it with some touching scenes.More importantly the two families begin to work to gather to plan the weeding and make sure both cultures feel respected and included in the weeding. This is another point that I feel like gregeichelberger may have missed. The weeding is a mixture of the two families' joint effort. There is a mixture of music with a Marachi band playing through part of the weeding and a DJ spinning R&B through part of the weeding (which is a funny scene where Miguel and Brad go to a club and look for a DJ). The young couple jumps a broom and both families pick the groom up and through him up and down. There is even a scene where Lucia's gangster cousin teaches Marcus how to do a little dance.I think the basic point of the movie escaped gregeichelberger completely and this may be an important point for anyone interested in watching this film. I don't think this film was meant to be PC, this film was meant to display issues that exist between two communities. The creators of this film went out of there way to identify certain stereotypes and issues that these two communities have with each other and found comedic ways to display this issues.However, the great part of the film is that the families find a way to have a great weeding after all this craziness. This would be the resolution that gregeichelberger seemed to miss. The weeding day starts off as a disaster but they piece it together. The two families actually have a laugh together when they realize how crazy things have become over the weeding. At this point they actually bonded and place their difference aside for the young couple. They come to a realization that Marcus and Lucia love each other and that is something that family has to respect no matter how crazy they are.I guess to sum it up, this film will appeal to you if you are not African-American, Latino or aware of the issues between these two communities because it has humor and heart. However, I do think it is important to understand that this film address issues between these two communities and makes a point to illustrate the issues in a blunt and realistic way, while being humorous at the same time. This is important because the jokes in the film are not simply random jokes. They are jokes based on the issues between these two communities and I believe people should be aware of this. If you go see this film with you loved ones I think you will laugh, maybe even cry, but I think you will enjoy this film because it was well done.
