Critic Reviews

  • James Berardinelli, ReelViews
    It's tired and dated with too few laughs to justify the stultifying attempts at drama and the impossible-to-swallow plot contortions. More...
  • Richard Roeper, Richard Roeper.com
    Looks great, some terrific ingredients, but when you slice it up, what a disappointment. More...
  • Alonso Duralde, The Wrap
    Sarandon, Keaton and De Niro mesh beautifully, fully convincing as a trio of old friends and carting in lots of characterization that would be otherwise lacking in Zackham's rote screenplay. More...
  • Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
    The Big Wedding is a would-be screwball comedy that forgets to throw in the screws. More...
  • Calum Marsh, Village Voice
    Many Hollywood films are founded on privilege, but few are as open and nasty about their racism, misogyny, and homophobia. It's a feel-good movie for people who only comfortable around people who look and act just like them. More...
  • Linda Barnard, Toronto Star
    The Big Wedding aims low and achieves every aspiration. More...
  • Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
    I suppose it's always nice to get an invitation but please, this "Wedding"? Send back your regrets. More...
  • Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
    A shining example of a dull studio comedy. More...
  • Adam Graham, Detroit News
    It never feels real, and its only saving grace is that it clocks in at a mercifully short 90 minutes, which is just about the amount of time you need to realize you never want to see these characters ever again. More...
  • Stephanie Merry, Washington Post
    Sadly, superior talent can propel a movie only so far. Bad scripts beget bad movies, even when four Academy Award winners are involved. More...
