Review of The Wedding Video (2012) by Barry Thomas A — 21 Aug 2012

I can't believe 73% of critics liked this movie. I specifically disregarded negative-to-lukewarm reviews (thinking, maybe they're just being snobs) in order to go and seek some light and unchallenging entertainment this afternoon.

I must say, I can't recall the last time I looked at my watch in a cinema/having paid full price for a movie, prior to today. It features actors I like, but was truly less than the sum of its parts.

I also would have thought I might find Rufus Hound more sympathetic (I've enjoyed his radio series about peoples' teenage diaries), but I'm not sure he's cut out for full-length, starring roles.

All in all, this film was disappointing enough that I'm not sure I would have even felt it was worth so much time if I were watching it on an airplane. Give it a miss, in my opinion.
