Saturday Movies: The Big Wedding (2013)

I would wear a bucket over my head too if this was one of two movies I directed as well, Justin Zackman. Comedy or drama? My fiance brought up a good point when he hit the nail on the head at the end of the movie that this one couldn't decide what it wanted to be. There would be lots of issues it seemed to be trying to fuse in to make a serious point with the main one being adoption, and others like blended families and fertility issues. Then the movie would do these very silly comedy moments that dumb'd the movie down in a way that made it feel it was being pulled into two different directions. I don't think it's the cast, but mainly something poorly put together and wrote that hurts it.

Summary: Alejandro and Missy are getting married. When Alejandro finds out his biological mother wants to travel to see him wed though he realizes that her deeply religious Catholic roots might not approve of the fact the parents she let adopt him have been divorced for several years. To keep her happy his parents, Don and Ellie pretend to be married for the duration of the wedding setting much confusion and chaos into place in their lives and those surrounding them.
