Review of Love, Wedding, Marriage (2011) by Dan J — 11 Mar 2012

I will admit, I fell asleep halfway through this. When I awoke, not much had changed.

If you were contemplating divorce from your spouce of 30 years, would you seek counselling from your marriage-counseler daughter? Of course not. Which is why Jane Seymore and James Brolin are referred to Christopher Lloyd for counselling.

Listening to a couple divulge their baggage could be excruciating or hilarious for an audience. In this case, there's no significant dirty laundry, so why are they divorcing, other than boredom? He's a born again Jew; isn't that funny?

The sriptwriting for this is about as bad as some of the worst TV sit-coms, the characters are paper thin, there is no real need for the actors to add any discernable acting talent to their roles, the situations are not plausible, and the actors don't convince us that they're the characters they're playing.

Dermot Mulroney is a decent character actor (The Family Stone). This is his directorial debut. Better projects will come.
