MOVIE REVIEW - The Big Wedding

This movie is so insanely horrible, I can't wait to write this review simply because the people in this movie should have known better.  In fact,. they do know better, but it's a paycheck.

Let's name names. The Big Wedding stars Robert DeNiro, Catherine Heigl, Diane Keaton, Susan Sarandon, Robin Williams, Amada Seyfried, Topher Grace and bunch of other money hungry actors who decided that this was worthwhile to do.  Not one of the for mentioned is anywhere near good in this hunk of trash that was dead on the table as a ridiculous script to begin with.

This is another wacky weekend movie with amazingly rich people who are one big dysfunctional family, that have a crazy wedding weekend.  That's about all the story that is worth mentioning.  Everyone is sleeping with everyone, or trying to, and there is serious dysfunction between virtually all characters.  Some of the plot lines in this are so ludicrous, so dumb, so incredibly self-indulgent that this is actually hard to watch at times.   I could not wait for this to be over.

Certainly all who were making this movie knew the whole time this was one giant up-chuck.  There was NO laughter in the theater outside of a couple of giggles here and there.  Watching many of these seasoned actors like DeNiro, Sarandon, and Keaton utter the immensely insulting and 7th grade dialogue was borderline painful.   The biggest laugh comes when Heigl throws up on DeNiro at the dinner table with a batch of projectile puke, which is also metaphoric for this entire movie.

This suffers from bad writing, a bad and tired idea, and junior high level acting.   I still have no idea who this is really made for either.   Certainly younger patrons have no real idea who the main actors are by and large.  And an older crowd like seniors may not find this in the best of taste most of the time.   These actors, the good ones and the bad, have no chance with this script.  And you will also learn and confirm that many of the young  "stars" in this, really have no talent and can do nothing with nothing.  And shame on the veterans for making this and embarrassing themselves. Have some dignity.

This is just bad.  I'm calling it right now, on my year end list of the worst movies of the year, I can't see this not being on it.   This though will find some sort of audience and there will be many who do like it because of the formula, and the "star power."  But it won't be a big enough share for this to be a hit.   With this costing a boatload to make in salaries, it brings in a measly 7 million first weekend out.   What a disaster.

The Big Wedding.  Every frame of this is worse than the last.
