Lizzie (music superstar Ashanti) is looking to have the perfect destination wedding thanks to her doting father (Cedric the Entertainer) but her carefully laid plans are thrown into disarray when her "man-of-honor", Marshall (Jonathan Bennett, Mean Girls), brings his "ex-from-hell", Marie. It is going to take an all-out effort from Lizzie's friends and family to keep Lizzie from losing her mind as her "happily ever after" is faced with ruin. THE PLUS ONE is an uproarious and charming romantic comedy.

It soon becomes underwhelming and struggles to remain funny and relevant as the plot of the film goes on.

Rated: 2.5/5

Crooked Marquee

Tedious comedy about a bunch of self-centered people grinding through sitcom-level misunderstandings at a fancy Florida resort.

Rated: D+

Shadows on the Wall

Within a very uneven script, there are some enjoyably sparky tensions between the large ensemble of characters, although director Erik White struggles to navigate the whiplash shifts between broad slapstick and over-cooked emotion.

Rated: 2/5

Cinemalogue

Aside from some lovely beachfront scenery, this woefully predictable romantic comedy about a destination wedding gone off the rails is a checklist of cliches.

DONT DO IT. It just kept getting worse! This movie pissed me off. It looked like a tolerable late night movie, with some quality known actors but idk everything was bad about it. amateur acting, amateur script. The Marie character and Marshall (alleged best friend) Is the downfall of the movie, what bride would tolerate that? So unrealistic. I was just waiting on Ashanti to beat her a**. Marshall need his a** beat too. I was trying not to take this movie seriously but it’s a tough watch to get through… I think it was just a sponsorship movie cause they do market some top brands in the movie.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

This move was unbearable, no way in the world would a couple getting married put up with the moronic behavior of a guest. Sorry can't even describe the stupidity of this tubi level film.

I may have been able to enjoy it a little but nope. There was stupid music playing in the background the whole 20 mins I was watching it. How has no one else complained about this? You could hardly hear what the cast was saying. Who’s idea was this?

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars
