ridiculous rating

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

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

"Samoan Wedding" is a film that will probably appeal to the same audience as "Hot Tub Time Machine" and "Bachelor Party". In other words, if you like watching a group of idiots acting like idiots, then the film is certainly for you. But, if you are like me, and you DON'T like these sort of films, then after a short time it will all become very tiresome.The film begins with an intervention. All the friends, family and the preacher all confront four very immature 30 year-old men. They are told they cannot attend the upcoming wedding of one of the four guy's younger brother--for reasons the audience is shown. Each has managed to ruin someone's wedding--all because of boorish and immature behaviors. This is BY FAR the best part of the film and the preacher is quite funny. Because of this great setup, I THOUGHT the film would be a lot of fun. Nope. After a very promising start, the film just goes no where. Why? Because of two main reasons. First, you just don't care about the characters--they are clueless jerks. Second, the writing just isn't very good and for a comedy, it just isn't very funny. Maybe you will like it--I just felt it was tedious and wasted a cute premise.

Probably New Zealands worst Movie ever madeThe Jokes They are not funny. Used from other movies & just plain corny The acting Is bad even though there is a great castThe story is Uninteresting & Boring Has more cheese then pizza huts cheese lovers pizza kind of like the acting Has been do 1,000 times beforeI watched this when it came on TV but was so boring could only stand 30 minutes of it. This movie sucksDo not watch it, Watch paint dry instead

The clichéd Polynesian males drink, fight and make a stream of sexist, stupid and unfunny remarks. Real life Polynesians are much funnier than these stereotyped, cardboard characters. The supposedly Samoan girl didn't look or act Samoan at all, seemed more like the stock white female who has sex with anyone on a whim. With weak as water story lines you can't say anything about the acting - even the most brilliant actors could do nothing with this script. It's sad to see Polynesian actors willing to play such sad stereotypes in a film with not one good scene, and only two or three 'jokes'. What a waste of Kiwi taxpayers' money, what a lost opportunity to make a great film about a vibrant community. It's better not to make movies if they're as bad and mindless as this.

Despite the rave reviews this flick has garnered in New Zealand, any hype surrounding the production is sadly undeserved. Apart from a clichés-only plot, the movie is let down by some weak acting, accents, and overall lack of tension.Whilst having the overall look of a big budget (for NZ), the feel is decidedly small-town Kiwi...Has anyone not seen The Brothers ?? ( http://imdb.com/title/tt0250274/ ) Those who have will pick the similarities straightaway....I've heard comments that scenes like the boys playing basketball etc were shot to poke fun at the clichéd "boys talking crap", but it comes across as forced...I believe Oscar Keightley sees himself as deeply ironic, but again his delivery always seems merely vaguely self conscious.Those who have any doubts left at all that Samoans-living-in-NZ culture has been deeply , hopefully not permanently ,affected by American speech , culture, and everything inbetween will certainly have their minds made up at the end of this movie.Robbie magasiva always looks good on screen , but is let down by the script..It always rubs me up the wrong way when a "comedy" has scenes that are set up in such an obvious way, you are left feeling like having a good groan at the clichéd punchline - see the wanna be white boy...I know someone who found this movie hilarious -however, that person has the brains of a tadpole, and would struggle to spell her name if offered a million dollars....That kinda sums up the mentality of this flick , OK but not great , fun but not funny.....Wake up NZ - this is NOT a 5 star movie despite all the glowing (middle class white guilt ?? :-) ) reviews....My advice ? if you watch it, get drunk first!!!
