Critics Consensus

Our Family Wedding is a mirthless, contrived affair that does little with its promising premise and talented cast.

Instead of fulfilling its premise, it signifies a directional angle to the affected tradition that only led to the usual formula being genuinely coerced across its associated genres than picking up where potential ideas been seeded, albeit the decency to make room for general appeals from laughable comedy to sweet gestures still adjacent beneath the other. (B-)

How? Just how? This movie was nothing more than an easy paycheck for some likeable people. Absolutely nothing worked here.

Would not recommend. I never got into the storyline and very few jokes were funny. It all felt very contrived and so predictable, but not in an enjoyable way. In your average cheesy rom com, you're still happy about the ending because you get somewhat invested in the main characters; this film has so many people and relationships and dynamics and cliches that nothing gets explored on a deeper level.

I like this movie. It was funny and heartfelt. And it's not really my kind of movie but I enjoyed it for what it is

The comedy skates between hypocrisy and impudence, fighting to make an exclusive audience laugh. [Full review in Spanish]
