Dale R Two very different families prepare their kids' weddings. This movie was written, directed and stars Alan Alda. This is a cute movie with a very satisfying ending. There were quite a few great character moments and the cast is excellent. Several of the scenes came off as just awkward and I’m not a fan of that. This could also cause the movie to drag in places. Regardless, I think this movie is worth a watch. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/08/24 Full Review Audience Member It's a decent wacky wedding disaster movie. It doesn't do much that's memorable, or unique, but it's a fun enough distraction. It's got a solid cast, so that helps. Though I was more interested in the relationship between Sheedy and LaPaglia. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/10/20 Full Review Audience Member Boy, I think the reviewers--critics and audience alike--must have seen a different movie to have rated this so low. My family and I throughly enjoyed everything about it--the cast, the script, the situations, the memorable lines. We still go around quoting from it. Every now and then I have to watch this again--for Stevie Dee alone, who is worth the price of admission. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This is kept together and made funnier by O'Hara, Pesci and, save for the accent slip from LaPaglia who also was good, Burt Young. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Sheedy and LaPaglia are beautiful together and that's a good thing because every moment they're not on the screen we miss them. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member It was an okay movie in that wacky wedding genre, but while the build up was pretty great, the wedding itself was less than 20 minutes and was a bit of a letdown. I did enjoy most of the cast. Alda and Kahn are great as the parents, but Ringwald as Betsy was a bit of a miss for me. She got downright annoying at one point in the film, and her hair & clothes styles were both awful. Her choices for wedding dresses, also bad. She was set up to be a hip girl with the trend times, but everything seemed so awful about her. I really loved Sheedy here though. Best thing about this movie. Her love story with LaPaglia was off for me, just cause they way he talked the whole time. Would women really fall for that? Pesci was fun at times, but then the dick we all know he is in every movie comes out after awhile. Dylan Walsh in an early role is kind of just there, and Burt Young and Catherine O'Hara were pretty much wasted and not developed at all. And while Samuel L. Jackson is credited as the MAN AT WEDDING, I don't recall seeing him. There was ONE African American guy at the wedding I could see, and it was not him. Maybe his scene was cut? It has so fun overall, but it just fails to deliver the all out wedding it builds up and Betsy herself is kind of unlikable.
