Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Okay so if you are reading this, you might be setting the bar of this movie too high. What did you really expect to see when you rented or bought a movie called "Drunk Wedding", and who reads a review of a movie with this title? Well if you're like me and did before you watched it, you might be interested to hear what it has to offer. In response to other reviewers on IMDb, this movie comes far short of a tits and ass movie. SPOILER: There's one scene with tits in it.This movie is what you would expect it to be. It's funny in places, less funnier than what the writers thought it would be in others, but it's easy to relate to if you are married, engaged, thinking about getting married, have been in a relationship, or have friends that like getting drunk.I gave it a 6, because when it's compared to ALL movies it will come up short. However if you were to put it on the scale of movies like it (e.g., National Lampoon's (put in some variation of fraternity recklessness)), it would be a 9. It's not as good as Hangover but better than Hangover 3.If you are looking for a movie on a random night to watch with your significant other, it's a YES. If you are looking for a movie to watch to gain deeper meaning into life or be moved emotionally, go watch Citizen Kane.

I live in Nicaragua. I was enthusiastic when I heard that they had made a movie in San Juan del Sur which IMHO is the most beautiful place in our country.Alas, the movie did not catch my interest in any way and the gratuitous sex scenes were in bad taste.On top of that, there is barely a couple of short scenes showing the San Juan bay and not a single scene of the lovely town. Most of the movie was shot at a hotel and after a while the whole thing felt claustrophobic.They used cheap equipment to film the thing. So cheap that there were shots where the camera shook when whoever was doing the shooting walked around.Awful. The only way to put it is awful.

The Plot.John and Elissa's perfect destination wedding is derailed when their college friends get drunk on tequila.Let's be honest...when you sit down to watch a movie called Drunk Wedding, you are not expecting Citizen Kane.This movie is the same format of those found video movies, in the sense that the thing is done with personal hand helds. I hate this kind of film-making because it's just a reason for them to save money.Of course there is no explaining how a couple attempts to make a sex take with a hand held. It's so idiotic.The movie has the flavor of those horrible National Lampoon sex romps that were made maybe 10 or 20 years ago. They pander to 16 year olds who aren't even supposed to be allowed to see an R rated movie.Truthfully, it's unwatchable. It's just dumb and not funny.

If you wish The Hangover had more of a found-footage feel — and no Bradley Cooper, and more bros getting peed on — here's an offbeat treat for you. You might not have heard of this one, and unless you happened to be at an Alamo Drafthouse this weekend, you probably haven't seen it. But if you're anyone I went to undergrad with, you absolutely should.Paramount released Drunk Wedding direct to iTunes this weekend. I bought it, and I watched it, and I can report that while you may not know all of the actors and it won't get the usual blockbuster ad campaign, it's quite the tequila-soaked barrel of fun.Just so we're on the same page here, Citizen Kane this is not. No. Drunk Wedding is a Gonzo faux-doc raunchy travelogue wedding comedy that takes its pants off early and often. It's dialed in tight and quite nicely paced, its modest 1:20 runtime a steady drumbeat of redband-worthy gags, pranks, and awww-shoot moments. Shooting on location in Nicaragua brings immediacy to the action, though the film is not without its issues in this regard: The found-footage style demands a certain gritty realism that doesn't always mesh well with the clearly quite decent cameras actually used here, and the cinematography occupies that strange reality/scripted middle ground that reminds me of an early dose of The Hills. (Nothing that a goat won't fix.) The writing is solid, at times laugh out loud hilarious, but set against the whole average-joes-filming-themselves trope it sometimes feels overwritten, too smart for its premise. (Too clever for your own good, Nick and Tony Weiss?) Interestingly, Drunk Wedding shares something in common with Take Me Home Tonight, another collegiate comedy I really liked: both languished on the shelf for a couple of years before their release.Quibbles aside, Drunk Wedding is here now and delivers what you're crashing it for — some memorable characters (Dan Gill is terrific as Phil, Nick P. Ross is deliciously creepy as Linc aka Beavis incarnate, and Victoria Gold does a great job as the girls' girl bride Elissa), some quality pranking, and an almost but not quite home movie feel.This is also the kind of movie you'll want all your friends to see, so your party-prone social circle has ready access to the bank of soon-to-be-iconic-at-least-to-us references. I will say though that if your "hey, this is just like the time" moments overlap very much with this film, your parties are off the flippin' chain, bro.Haus Verdict: Loved it. Small on budget and big on raunch, Drunk Wedding is just what it sounds like — and if you're in the market for that, take a look.
