The Big Wedding

"The Big Wedding"  is about a wedding.  No, seriously.  Ok, ok.  The movie is about a young couple that is all set to walk down the aisle, and as with every other movie about weddings (and weddings in real life, I might add), they have their fair share of family issues that they are presented with all at once.

Pros: 
    1.  Robert DeNiro, Katherine Heigl, and Diane Keaton star (oh yeah, Robin Williams too!).
    2.  There are some truly funny, laugh out loud moments.
    3.  There are some interesting twists that I wouldn't have guessed.

Cons:
    1.  The movie was short (1 hour, 30 minutes).  I think they could have done more if it was longer.
    2.  It was a lot like all the other movies about weddings ("American Wedding," "License to Wed").

I admit though, I knew it would be predictable (to an extent), and I knew it would be a chick flick (it really was - sorry husbands and boyfriends), but, I did enjoy it.  I liked that it was funny - not make up stuff funny - just funny.  The characters' actions and words were definitely something to laugh at.  And, I almost cried for like half a second.  I definitely wouldn't break the bank and pay the outrageous "after matinee" movie costs, but, if you have time, check it out. :-)

Rating:  2.5/5
