Love, Weddings & Other Disasters

I signed up for rotten tomatoes just to review this movie. I'm so baffled. (Some) Good actors couldn't even save this monstrosity. It's one of those multiple story lines that intertwine through common relationships movies, which would be fine/great/whatever, but this movie just isn't it. For starters, they definitely didn't consult with an actual blind person for Diane Keaton's character. She fumbled everywhere to insinuate blind people can't function in the world. She could've brought such dignity to that character but they chose a clumsy blind troupe instead. And her boyfriend who is weirdly aggressive and it's supposed to be cute? Who shoves a truffle into someone's mouth like that? Awkward. Then the Russian dancer that for some reason played a pretend lawyer to get on a reality show and dropped the lawyer aspect within 10 minutes? And then they go with a fake Russian "pimp". She's not a sex worker but for some reason is on the show to get "free" from this boss? I don't even understand. And then there's the girl who only has one tattoo…a glasses slipper…ON HER NECK. Lol what?? And it's big! And she apparently carries an actual glass slipper to leave behind if she ever does find a guy she likes. Then that guy has to find her? And 100 people draw shows on their neck to prove they're the girl? I'm pretty sure the campaign manager is reading cue cards for her lines. The tender moment with the line "My Bride, three mafia goons, and my brother, and my brother chained to a stripper" really sums up the vibe. Honestly, they should've just gone full campy rather than trying for romcom.

It is rare that I feel strong enough to actually leave a review, but after watching this on tv, I was so blown away by how contrived, and un-entertaining this movie was, that I immediately signed up for a rotten tomatoes account. Just wow! So bad! Beyond ridiculous and unrealistic...and not even in the name of cute romance because every storyline was uninspired with no chemistry. So sad that Diane Keaton and Jeremy Irons stooped this low.

Não é ruim, entretanto considerando a sinopse e o casting de atores esperava mais muito mais, bem pouco hein engraçado, passou longe do romantismo, situações exageradas, o que nos afastam a empatia, tornando menos agradável do que poderia ter sido...

I found it challenging to stay engaged with so many apparent disparate story lines. The Audio Description volume was much louder than the film soundtrack which was very distracting/challenging. The story & dialogue seemed a bit stilted and clumsy.

Dreadful. Awful. On every scale. Waste of time. Not funny. Not clever. Not witty. Not worth it. Irons and Keaton just needed the money. Shameful

Of course, it was not the best movie with mini-stories that turn out to be connected (those are still the ones made by Garry Marshall), and at times it was a little stupid, but it was still entertaining. We were laughing out loud at the physical comedy! I also found it fun that it was filmed in Boston - I even spotted bottles of Bully Boy at the bar!

It's a sweet, silly and light comedy. If you don't mind the too frequent exaggerations and just want to forget the pandemic having a few good laughs you might enjoy this collage of stories and scenes. I left lighthearted and with a smile on my face. 5 1/2 of 10 points.

I can see why this movie is not for everyone, but I found it to be an easy, feel-good watch. My family and I laughed the whole way through. Would recommend if you like this type of romantic comedy.

We didn't stop laughing the entire time

Bit of a waste of two huge talents, Irons and Keaton, who only had small roles, even though the trailer made it look like the film was about them.
