Review of The Big Wedding (2013) by R. K. A — 25 Jan 2014

This gentle comedy may prove too tame for a younger crowd, whilst perhaps being too vulgar for its, presumably older target audience. One therefore wonders just who will be taking this very predictable comedy to their hearts. A very lazy effort indeed, from the moment the story unfold, you know exactly where it is going. I laughed only once or twice during a thankfully short 89 minutes.

It may be one of the better Columbia/America cross cultural misunderstanding films of the past few years, and probably De Niro's best work since Rocky and Bullwinkle, but the only saving grace for me was the aesthetic appeal of Ana Ayora. I had to watch Raging Bull when I got back from seeing this to remind myself that Robert De Niro used to make great films.
