Movie Review Summary

This is a good concept for a film, which has not been mined for the humor it can offer. Now, anybody expecting The Hangover will find this doesn’t live up to that, the focus here is much much on the emotional fragility of the characters rather than the slapstick form of humor. Yes, there are some good, funny moments in it – the bridal fitting being one – but ultimately the story is about the emotions and self-consciousness that weddings bring up. As a result it doesn’t hit the spot as well as it could have done. The storyline works well, with Annie falling further and further down the slippery slope of failure, unfortunately, this is a little overdone and it’s clear that she’s not all together and probably suffering mental health issues, which doesn’t make for the funniest of viewing. There are also some characters which are too exaggerated, taking them beyond funny and just into the realm of unbelievable. Otherwise, a good film that’s worth a watch and will give you some laughs.
