Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

vicksel This must be one of the few rare American movies what actually delivered a feeling of recognition. It's not like the usual romcom. Life can sometimes become. It just does... and that it what this movie shows us. It actually shows us what life sometimes can be. It's reality. And that is what makes this movie so very special. Go see it for yourself. Just let yourself sink with the characters (they are very well portrayed. This is just the way family life is.***spoilers***The story line is very well written. It's the best one I have encountered in years. I gave this movie only an 8 out of 10 because while the elder part of the cast was definitely on fire, the younger part just didn't match.

ggmcheartagram Oh dear! I couldn't understand how there could be so many negative reviews for a film with such a great cast but believe me...now i completely understand. This 'comedy' was severely lacking any laughs, i barely even chuckled and i have been told that i laugh at everything. The film was also unnecessarily raunchy at times, which felt very out of place with the tone of the film and it was just awkward to watch. There wasn't even a decent story line and i didn't feel like any real lessons were learned. What was the point? I also just didn't care about the characters, which is strange considering how much i love some of these actors (De Niro, Keaton, Sarandon and Williams). Positive points....the film and the actors looked nice. Disappointingly this just turned out to be a waste of an afternoon and i usually love these kind of movies. So i'd say avoid unless you are a huge fan of these actors and need to see every film they have ever been in.

erins-44941 This is a very cute & upbeat movie with a lot of twist & turns along the away (as in EVERY planning and having a wedding, even in real life - I should know I owned a successful Bridal & Formal Boutique, so I can tell you!). I really had a lot of fun watching such wonderful and talented cast of actors doing their trait so masterfully...but...the only problem I had was, that the premise has been done before and was very predictable. That being said - still didn't stop me from really liking it and feeling good during & after the movie. ;) PS- one more thing....THAT HOME! Just beautiful w/ that setting!! Wonder what that goes for in Connecticut?!? (Wish I could just afford the taxes - let alone the home!! Haha )

Python Hyena The Big Wedding (2013): Dir: Justin Zackham / Cast: Robert De Niro, Diane Keaton, Susan Sarandon, Robin Williams, Katherine Heigl: A big comedic mess about really finding out who members of our family really are. We have Robert De Niro divorced from Diane Keaton but he is currently involved with Susan Sarandon who was best friends with Keaton years ago. De Niro and Keaton have a son, daughter, and an adopted son who is getting married. Problem is that their adopted son's traditional biological mother doesn't believe in divorce and arrives under the assumption that De Niro and Keaton are married. This doesn't impress Sarandon whose good will to the adopted son is genuine but the lack of ring on her finger results in one of three facial assaults to De Niro. She leaves yet continues to emerge to cater and create further tension. Then we have the adopted son's biological sister who strips down naked for a swim and vocally addresses De Niro and Keaton's biological son sexually in a matter that plainly is the stuff of a smut fairy tale. The screenplay is multiple subplots of sexual escapades and low level comedy. Director Justin Zackham is backed with a great cast but nobody is given a role worth their getting up in the morning to subject themselves to. Robin Williams is given the thankless role of church pastor who gives the usual performance under a stereotype. Katherine Heigl as one of the siblings and she over dramatizes about being recently separated. Woody Allen made art with similar themes in Hannah and Her Sisters. Unfortunately Zackham's film is a big waste of time. Score: 3 / 10
