The Big Wedding (2013) 6/10

Starring : Robert De Niro, Katherine Heigl, Diane Keaton, Amanda Seyfried, Topher Grace, Ben Barnes, Susan Sarandon, Robin Williams
Director : Justin Zackham
Running Time : 90 mins

Adopted Alejandro (Barnes) is getting married to Missy (Seyfried), but when his divorced adoptive parents Don (De Niro) and Ellie (Keaton) discover that he has invited his strict Catholic birth mother to the wedding, they have to pretend that they are still a married couple.

I’d heard this was absolutely terrible, but it could have been worse. There were some dodgy plotlines like the virginal Topher Grace falling in love with who is essentially his adopted brothers sister, the family discovering that it was Ellie and not Don who cheated first, and the return of Robin Williams as a priest / vicar (I’m still not sure which), but all in all it wasn’t that bad a movie if you can get past the unnecessarily slapstick carrying on.
