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.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 31, 2021

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

| Original Score: D+ | Jul 27, 2020

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

| Aug 13, 2019

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

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 26, 2019

If the whole set-up wasn't so apologetically dire, you could call its politics offensive.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 16, 2018

Trivial, meandering and mean-spirited, The Big Wedding ironically serves as an instant funeral for the camera-mugging cohorts saddled in this incoherent and mindless marriage-in-the-making mishap.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Nov 17, 2018

An all-star cast fall victim to a shallow, tasteless script.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 14, 2018

The plot and casting call for so much suspension of belief it makes "happily ever after" seem a realistic proposition.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 14, 2018

Normally, I'm not keen on comedies that resort to old-fashioned slapstick... And The Big Wedding certainly falls into that category... Yet it just about gets away with it, rescued by a genuinely funny, if deeply contrived, script, and a top-notch cast.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 31, 2017

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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 5, 2017

The unnecessarily complicated plot would have been tough to squeeze into any movie, let alone a 90-minute one. Needless to say, it is quite choppy.

| Feb 3, 2017

Some scripts can be saved by a good cast that delivers the material with as much chutzpah as possible. And then there are some that are simply unsalvageably dreadful.

| Original Score: D | Feb 20, 2014

No apenas uma m comdia; mau Cinema.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 1, 2013

The goofy characters waltz through plenty of offbeat situations, but that's not enough because quirky and funny are not synonymous.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 13, 2013

What it desperately needed was more originality. I suppose Zackham thought that if he just got a great cast and sprinkled enough humor into it, then those would be enough to cover up all the flaws in the script. Unfortunately, he was very much mistaken.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 12, 2013

Behold the unholy matrimony of hack-job romance and whack-job comedy. Witness the blindingly bleached marriage of house-porn and cocky Caucasian privilege. Suffer the union of former A-list stars and express-cashed paycheques.

| Jul 11, 2013

Built on chaotically disparate tones and extremely broad jokes that never hit their mark, The Big Wedding is completely devoid of laughs.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 5, 2013

Sinks to new levels of horrid.

| Original Score: F | Jun 3, 2013

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

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 2, 2013

With De Niro inexcusably using what is for many people the single most obscene swear word, this is well off target.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 31, 2013
