Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Art Carnage Rips off so many other, better movies, it's hard to know where to begin. But I guess "Return of the Secaucus 7" is as good a place as any. And did they REALLY think they could steal the famous Girl On The Ferry monologue from "Citizen Kane", and think no one would notice? There are comedic rants that just fall flat, such as a Seinfeld-influenced "what's up with those 4-way stops?" bit, that's yelled at full volume, and lacks any actual humor. A grown man who can't negotiate an intersection? Absurd. But not in a funny way.The rest is just tedious, not-actually-witty witty repartee.Avoid this. See "Secaucus 7". Or "Citizen Kane". Or pretty much anything else.

cyclingfan If you have ever wrestled with thinking you married the wrong person, or that your life is wrecked because you've lost your job, or you feel like the best years of your life are behind you, or you find it hard to enjoy the present because you are consumed with worry about the future, or you feel that your dreams are dying, then The Wedding Weekend has some messages you need to hear. Bruce Leddy has crafted a masterfully written story and has combined with other obviously talented individuals to provide a cast and musical score that reaches into your heart and soul while wrestling with some of the most fundamental and heart-rending questions we may face in life. While the issues dealt with in the story can be heavy, the script does a superb job of providing intelligent, well-timed humor to balance things out. The genius of the humor is that it fits naturally with the flow of the story, often reflects real life and is not forced just to try to generate a laugh. The story line is well complemented with some outstanding a Capella music that left me humming the score for a couple of days after I saw the movie. The a Capella version of "The More I See You" is hands down the best version of this classic tune I have ever heard. Other reviewers are a bit critical of the cast, but I enjoyed them all, felt like some of them reflected some real people I know (and even me!) and felt like they all successfully allowed their acting to focus on telling the story rather than ending up with the movie merely being a vehicle in which a big-name star might implicitly be saying "hey, watch what I can do!" I don't know what life experiences inspired Bruce Leddy as he crafted the script, but this 49-year-old viewer found the story and the dialog to be witty, genuine and packed with real-life wisdom and messages that, if heeded, can make our lives much more joyful. If you like the style of humor in "When Harry Met Sally" or Steve Martin's version of "Father of the Bride", I think you'll really enjoy The Wedding Weekend. This movie's story line would make a good gift for a couple in marriage crisis or even for newlyweds. Listen to Richard's (Reg Rogers) eloquently worded toast at the wedding and you'll know why I say this.

evening1 The six overgrown babies at the center of this drama sound great when they sing. The problem is that for most of the film they're just plain talking. What a bunch of self-involved narcissists! They fret when they get a gray hair. They're not sure they want a baby. They don't get enough sex. But mostly they're just worried that life is passing them by. Awwwwww.Some of their wives and girlfriends aren't depicted very attractively, and these females seem mainly portrayed as ball-and-chains. When a young Swedish nanny comes on the scene, the men become obsessed with her "beauty incarnate," yet to me -- I'm a gal, admittedly -- she seemed more a vapid Shelley Duvall lookalike than a sex goddess.The film had its humorous moments, and I stayed interested enough to watch it to the end, but it always seemed the characters were mainly cardboard. A lot of the dialogue seems to have been written at the sitcom level, perhaps by writers who hope to do standup someday.As good as these characters sounded a cappella, I never quite bought that their ensemble was more than a plot device. Encore, guys -- NOT!

namashi_1 Bruce Leddy tried his best giving the budget to make 'Shut Up And Sing' aka 'The Wedding Weekend'.The problem lies in the plot, Some moments are interesting, but usually bland.A group of guys who sang together in a college a Capella group reunite 15 years later to perform at a friend's wedding and discover how their lives have progressed -- and in some cases regressed -- since their college heyday, an idea that seems dated and the lack of face-value, disappoints all the way.Acting wise: Molly Shannon is the only actor who does her part well, while all the others try hard, though some manage.on the whole 'Shut Up And Sing' isn't what you expect.
