The Wedding Weekend (2006)

You won't be disappointed!

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

I'm a movie lover and I have not seen a movie this good in a long time!! My new favorite. Laughed through the whole movie. Sooo funny and the singing was great as well! The actors were well picked ,so many talented awesome people in this film , wonderful screenplay,fantastic director,touching and heartfelt moments throughout the film,a movie that is silly yet makes you think,even see life in a new way,plus you gotta love Molly Shannon,A movie you can watch over and over and not get sick of,a lot of truth in this movie,serious moments,an amazing film about friends,there's a male and female view on a lot of different topics, may be called the wedding weekend but not a chick flick yet girls would love it but guys would love it too,a movie for both the sexes,I can go on and on about this movie,Lol if I had 3 hands I'd give it 3 thumbs up !! :) loved it <3

Watchable, but OK to watch once and forget about. While the acting was decent, the premise was just not believable or worth caring about. Would you really fly across the country to attend/perform at the wedding of a man you loathe? The stock 'jerky right wing guy' character's "life-changing event" was so out of left field and then seemingly an afterthought :10 later. I can't figure out to whom this story was supposed to appeal. Too man-centric to appeal to women, too touchy-feeley whiny to appeal to most men. My only guess is "married closeted gay men," a very small demographic, which could go towards explaining the lack of commercial success. Molly Shannon was fun, the cast were decent eye candy, and the singing, though presumably overdubbed, was excellent. Fellas, watch it w/ your female significant-other to appease her after 3 or 4 nights of heavy doses of sports on the tube.

Shut Up and Sing, or ("Sing Now or Forever Hold Your Peace"), is definitely a must see. I'm not sure which title is being used, but I saw the showing of it at the Garden State Film Festival about two weeks ago. I laughed the entire time. I highly recommend this film. The Director did a great job on casting. Molly Shannon was, of course, hilarious, and the actor playing Spooner was gorgeous as well. That's just my opinion, but the all around plot was very creative. It's about a group of college guys, who used to sing A Capella together, and their lasting friendship. One of them is getting married, and they face the hardships of growing old and what marriage life is like. It's definitely a new type of film, and for that reason I recommend it!! I personally loved it.

A very impressive, intelligent comedy. I love this movie! It's funny, emotional, witty, clever, and it's one of the best comedies I've seen in a long time. I laughed a ton, cried some, and found myself being in the story with the characters. What a great script and solid story! The writing is truly fantastic, the direction superb, and I found myself thinking about the movie days later, and even laughing out loud at the jokes I couldn't get out of my head. After seeing so many dumb comedies in the past, it was a nice change of pace to see a smart movie written by someone who obviously treats his audience like intelligent, mature, cerebral adults.I can't wait for a wide release of this film so I can go and see it again!
