Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Lightdeossk Captivating movie !

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

ggmcheartagram Oh dear! I couldn't understand how there could be so many negative reviews for a film with such a great cast but believe me...now i completely understand. This 'comedy' was severely lacking any laughs, i barely even chuckled and i have been told that i laugh at everything. The film was also unnecessarily raunchy at times, which felt very out of place with the tone of the film and it was just awkward to watch. There wasn't even a decent story line and i didn't feel like any real lessons were learned. What was the point? I also just didn't care about the characters, which is strange considering how much i love some of these actors (De Niro, Keaton, Sarandon and Williams). Positive points....the film and the actors looked nice. Disappointingly this just turned out to be a waste of an afternoon and i usually love these kind of movies. So i'd say avoid unless you are a huge fan of these actors and need to see every film they have ever been in.

erins-44941 This is a very cute & upbeat movie with a lot of twist & turns along the away (as in EVERY planning and having a wedding, even in real life - I should know I owned a successful Bridal & Formal Boutique, so I can tell you!). I really had a lot of fun watching such wonderful and talented cast of actors doing their trait so masterfully...but...the only problem I had was, that the premise has been done before and was very predictable. That being said - still didn't stop me from really liking it and feeling good during & after the movie. ;) PS- one more thing....THAT HOME! Just beautiful w/ that setting!! Wonder what that goes for in Connecticut?!? (Wish I could just afford the taxes - let alone the home!! Haha )

Python Hyena The Big Wedding (2013): Dir: Justin Zackham / Cast: Robert De Niro, Diane Keaton, Susan Sarandon, Robin Williams, Katherine Heigl: A big comedic mess about really finding out who members of our family really are. We have Robert De Niro divorced from Diane Keaton but he is currently involved with Susan Sarandon who was best friends with Keaton years ago. De Niro and Keaton have a son, daughter, and an adopted son who is getting married. Problem is that their adopted son's traditional biological mother doesn't believe in divorce and arrives under the assumption that De Niro and Keaton are married. This doesn't impress Sarandon whose good will to the adopted son is genuine but the lack of ring on her finger results in one of three facial assaults to De Niro. She leaves yet continues to emerge to cater and create further tension. Then we have the adopted son's biological sister who strips down naked for a swim and vocally addresses De Niro and Keaton's biological son sexually in a matter that plainly is the stuff of a smut fairy tale. The screenplay is multiple subplots of sexual escapades and low level comedy. Director Justin Zackham is backed with a great cast but nobody is given a role worth their getting up in the morning to subject themselves to. Robin Williams is given the thankless role of church pastor who gives the usual performance under a stereotype. Katherine Heigl as one of the siblings and she over dramatizes about being recently separated. Woody Allen made art with similar themes in Hannah and Her Sisters. Unfortunately Zackham's film is a big waste of time. Score: 3 / 10

dragora116 I gave the movie a six, not because it's a better than average movie (if not by much), but because if you ignore all the clumsy, cheap, and crude attempts at comedy, it's actually a pretty sweet story and quite romantic. About twenty minutes into the movie, I thought to myself, "I bet the director also wrote the screenplay." And as the end credits started, boom, there it was: directed by, screenplay by. Granted, it is adapted from a French movie. But along with directors directing their own screenplays, English adaptations of French comedies are my biggest pet peeves. The comedy just does not translate; watch the original with subtitles. Please. And the list is endless: Jungle to Jungle, The Birdcage, Dinner for Schmucks, True Lies, Mixed Nuts, and more. Some may even end up being blockbusters, but it's like reading the 8th sheet under the carbon paper*, it's a very pale replica and you can barely make out the comedy, or the charm.* For those who do not know what carbon paper is, it's a pre-historic method of making copies. Google it.What I enjoyed about the movie is the following: the romance, the sweetness, the touching moments. There was an abundance, but ruined by a heavy, clumsy punch line every time.. I wish that one person had read the adapted screenplay and had mentioned that it wash't funny, at all.The actors also made it easy to watch. All veterans, even the younger cast, they were each able to give heart to their characters. Beautifully acted. So if you are one of those people who can separate the two, enjoy the storyline and ignore the comedy. Good luck to ya!
