Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

My girlfriend (she is Polish) and I were very curious about this title. Soon we realised that it was very strange the way the director approached the all Polish culture, I mean he based the movie on stereotypes. We think this director should apologies to all the Polish nation.. He should have at least worked a bit better on the accents...it sounded like an Italian-Russian-Hungarian mix rather than Polish. It give really the idea that Polish people are silly and leaving in low expectations, whereas is not like that at all..I have watched thousand and thousands of movies due to the nature of my job, and cant remember a worst film than this one!Maybe one day it will become a classic as "the best badly made comedy"

Polish Wedding movie was not funny at all and was made by someone who knows nothing about Poles, their traditions, passion, kind of music they like, clothes and customs.I suggest before make the movie about some nation make some study, read history and work with people that come from this country. Even the fact that no polish actors were part of this movie means something. And how come the music sound kind of Greek or gypsy? It had nothing to do with Chopin or other polish composers or polish folk music.This movie could be about Americans, Mexicans, Bulgarians, Canadians or Russians. Nobody would notice a difference. The only polish things there was Polish Eagle (symbol of Poland) and pickles. The director and others should sometimes read a little bit about the nation before they make a movie. Greek Fat wedding was made by someone who was much closer to Greek culture and it was much better movie and it was funny.Where did they get the idea of this polish patriotic uniform clothes? This clothes look more like German NAZI prison camp police clothes than Polish.Very bad movie, very bad director....BAD JOB and waste of money and time......The only good thing in this movie was that actors and actresses were good looking which is close to the truth about Poles.Good Luck in the future and if you need help when making the movie about Poles please contact me and I will be happy to guide you.Cheers! Marek Proud to be POLISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The movie presents itself as a harmless story about out-of-wedlock pregnancy, marital infidelity and family conflict, and does a reasonable job in this regard. But it wouldn't be worth seeing a second time if that was all there was to this film.On another level, this movie takes a swipe at fundamental tenants of the Catholic Church. This movie uses a totally different approach than Dogma, which is over two hours of in-your-face mockery of Catholicism. Instead, Polish Wedding asks interesting questions about the Church's attitude towards women.It's quite different from the usual Hollywood fare, and well worth watching.

I've just seen this movie. Polish Wedding was widely discussed in the Polish media and was regarded very controversial because of the way it described Polish society in America. I have some thoughts about it: 1. Movie misses a plot. It consists of several scenes that loosely linked. 2. Writer seems to have very faint knowledge about Polish culture and Poles. Poles don't eat pierogis every day on every meal :-) They don't smoke more than other nationalities. Music seemed to be rather Balkan. There are many Polish names but I don't recognize many Polish features and it completely misses Polish family atmosphere. 3. People kneeling before Hala crowned with garland. What was that? Does Teresa Conelly think that Poles recognized in her Virgin Mary? It's totally stupid scene.
