Love, Weddings & Other Disasters

Disasters: well, they said it.

Love, Weddings & Other Disasters isn't really a film. It's a slapdash hodgepodge of scenes, hastily sketched, hideously shot, and erratically edited.

When I lived in New York City in the 1990s, there was a subway ad campaign to raise awareness... that used the tagline "That's Elder Abuse - Any Questions?" The phrase floated through my mind as I watched "Love, Weddings & Other Disasters"

None of the characters behave in a manner that is rational, believable, relatable, or appealing.

The title gives fair warning.

If "Love, Actually" had actually been as bad as its most vociferous detractors have long insisted, it would have looked and sounded a lot like this misfire.

Love, Weddings & Other Disasters is another example that shows a work with known actors doesn't necessarily mean a hit. [Full review in Spanish]

Love, Weddings & Other Disasters is sub-Garry Marshall drek built upon half-assed jokes and underdeveloped storylines.

...this is a disaster in every sense, a hokey smorgasbord of ancient gags and glutinous sentiment that curdles on impact with the frontal lobes...

Putting the word 'disaster' in this movie's moniker couldn't be more apt.
