Alan Alda wrote, directed, and starred in this lightweight comedy about a wedding and the havoc it causes in one family. Dad (Alda) wants it big and splashy; Betsy (Molly Ringwald), the one who's actually getting married, wants something small and personal (and is even considering eloping). As the momentum shifts back and forth between lavish and intimate, other comic tussles are played out in the background--such as how Dad is going to pay for all this.

Like PARENTHOOD and MOONSTRUCK, BETSY'S WEDDING is a funny, feel-good movie about a wonderfully eccentric family and their hilarious trials and tribulations -- it's about everything but their daughter's wedding! Anything can and does happen when the funky bride-to-be casually announces her engagement, setting off a series of crazy events, including accidental meetings with the mob, oddball romances, and riotous revenge schemes! BETSY'S WEDDING is the perfect comedy hit, featuring an all-star cast and an irreverent story filled with all the warmth, wackiness, and humor you won't want to miss!
