Critic Reviews

Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic
Take out all the elements of The Big Chill that made you like that film and keep the ones that annoyed you and you've got The Wedding Weekend.
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
One long sour note.
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News
Molly Shannon, as the raunchy wife of the group's most reserved member, is the best-known actor in the cast and its most obnoxious.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
The actors are well cast and effective. As a film, Sing Now, shot on location, is as attractive as its cast.
Andy Webster, New York Times
Its dramatic freight lurches, and intriguing characters (a sex savant, an Indian human beat box) are sold short; a thinning of the ranks might have helped.
Ty Burr, Boston Globe
If, when this gang lights into Our Love Is Here to Stay, you feel you've entered a very special chamber in Hell, rest assured you're not alone.
Jason Heck, Kansas City Star
It's an inoffensive and unchallenging little film.
S. Jhoanna Robledo, Common Sense Media
Indie buddy comedy hits too many wrong notes.
Ted Murphy, Murphy's Movie Reviews
The cast veers from overly theatrical (Rogers) to amusing (Molly Shannon as Ted's wife Shannon, a woman who speaks her mind without thinking about the consequences) to spot on (Harbour, DeWitt, Basche, and several others).
Eric Lurio, Greenwich Village Gazette
Cute is as cute does. Not much more. Eh.
Eric Monder, Film Journal International
The cinematic equivalent of catchy soft-rock elevator music.
Tasha Robinson, AV Club
The title is the least of the film's problems; far more significant is its failed attempt to make its protagonists endearing instead of obnoxious.
Ken Fox, TV Guide's Movie Guide
It's pretty insubstantial stuff.
Gary Goldstein, Reel.com
As for the singing, it's pleasant but unctuous and, frankly, made me squirm.
Glenn Whipp, Los Angeles Daily News
Sing Now or Forever Hold Your Peace is a poor man's Big Chill, proving that navel gazing isn't the sole province of early baby boomers.
Phil Hall, Film Threat
Do we really need another movie with thirtysomethings who ache to re-live their college years? C'mon, guys, grow up!
Brian Orndorf, BrianOrndorf.com
Sing Now/Wedding Weekend has a marvelous personality to it that does wonders to alleviate the problem areas that plague the script.
