The Big Wedding

Peculiarly set on proving that puerile gags aren't just for youths, this gross-out comedy, presumably aimed at oldies, is just about watchable thanks to [its] cast...though why they signed up remains utterly mystifying.

At least somebody does fall in the swimming pool. It's Robert De Niro. Unfortunately, he resurfaces.

Big wedding? Big fat nothing, more like.

Pure claw-your-eyes-out cinema.

It's not the sheer predictability of the ensuing frolics that's hardest to take, or even the dismal attempts at humour ... but the sheer misery of watching actors you once respected demean themselves in such utterly worthless fodder.

We don't.

With a story as imaginative as the title and "jokes" telegraphed so far in advance you need binoculars to see them coming, The Big Wedding is as appealing as a cash bar at the reception.

A movie can tread familiar waters as long as it attempts to do so in a different way, which this doesn't.

The Big Wedding is the kind of movie that gives boomers a bad name.

The Big Wedding becomes rather worn and flat. Still, with such a prestigious cast, it's hard to truly hate the film.
