This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I find all the really bad reviews quite amazing. Saying this film is full of explicit sex, wow some people must lead sheltered lives, they should watch some of the series now like Game Of Thrones, Outlander, The collection, Girlfriend Experience just to name a few, which are border line porn. This film is worth a watch just for the great actors in it, i mean you cant go wrong with Diane Keaton, Robert D Nerio and the great Susan Serandon and sadly watching the wonderful Robin Williams made it a bit poignant to watch but reminded me of what a wonderful actor and versatile he was. OK the plot is thin but it had lots of funny moments and omg i love Katherine Heigl she is now one of my favorite actresses. Its worth a watch to just enjoy all these great actors.Its a romp a silly one its whats on the box, The Big Wedding. Its been done before and will be done again. I watched on Netflix, free, on a very wet rainy miserable day and I enjoyed every minute of it. So if you just want to watch a nice easy movie with great actors, a bit of titillation, comedy and romance, then you wont have wasted 1hour and 28minutes of your life.

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 )

Like Robert Altman's "A Wedding", Justin Zackham's "The Big Wedding" attempts to clash the "conservative" values and traditions oft associated with weddings, family, marriage and love, with more irreverent (or "ultra liberal") social mores. In this regard, the film watches as a family attempts to disguise the adultery, incest, homosexuality, promiscuity, polygamy, swearing, alcoholism and atheism which runs rampant in the home of their divorced parents. They do not disapprove of this behaviour, but simply do not wish to offend the puritanical mother of their visiting daughter-in-law.At its best, "The Big Wedding" normalizes behaviour which most uncritically condemn, and portrays sexual infidelity as something that should be talked about, forgiven and even celebrated. At its worst, though, this is an unfunny, crude, witless and poorly written film. The always watchable Susan Sarandon elevates things somewhat. Featuring lazy performances by Robert De Niro and Diane Keaton.6/10 - Worth one viewing.

The Big Wedding is an awful movie with a poorly written storyline and a great comedic cast that sadly weren't enough to make this movie enjoyable.The set up for the movie sounded fun and unique,and then the cast made it sound even better,but sadly there were very few parts that I genuinely laughed at.The movie had such a great cast and didn't use any of them to full effect,Robert De Niro and Diane Keaton didn't really get to show their dramatic acting skills enough,a great actress like Amanda Seyfried wasn't even in it very long,and Robin Williams (One of the Greatest Comedy Actors of All Time,May He Rest in Peace) could easily have improvised all of his scenes and made them so much funnier,but sadly the director obviously made him go by the script,so all of his lines were very dry humour.Usually the fun thing about comedies that revolve around families is that you can relate to them in a funny way,but there is no way anyone could relate to this family's relationship,the ending was probably what irritated me the most though,most of the conflict in this film isn't resolved.The Big Wedding is not a funny or enjoyable movie and I would recommend it to no one. As their adopted sons mother arrives for his wedding,a divorced couple must pretend they are still married. Best Performance: Robert De Niro Worst Performance: Katherine Heigl
