Our Family Wedding Reviews

Another movie I really enjoyed because the contents include interracial relationships. Some of it is a bit cliche, but it is pretty funny. I watched it with my wife which makes me enjoy movies a little more than if I was alone I think. Anyways the cast here is pretty good as it has Forest Whitaker, America Ferrera, Carlos Mencia, Regina Kind, Lance Gross, Charles Q. Murphy, Shondrella Avery, Anna Marie Horsford, and Shannyn Sossamon. It even has brief parts with Harry Shum Jr., Hayley Marie Norman, and Noel Gugliemi. The acting is pretty good and the actors chemistry is pretty good. This was just simply an unexpected hidden gem I found looking around for something to watch on a boring night. Give it a check and you might just enjoy something new.

Sometimes, I really wonder myself what kind of crap I watch... Basically, the main reason why I watched this movie is because I have a weak spot for Shannyn Sossamon. Eventually, she was in this movie only for one scene, maybe for only 10 minutes. Thankfully, Forest Withaker, one of the most underrated actors, had a major part so the whole thing was not a complete waste of time. Still, what a borefest... Basically, it is some kind of variation on 'Guess who's coming to dinner' but, this time, you have a clash between the African-American culture and the Mexican culture. I mean, not only it wasn't really funny but very often, it was just plain rude, rather depressing and borderline offensive. It is rather sad to see that our prejudices haven't changed much in the last 45 years since 'Guess who's coming to dinner' has been released. To be honest, there were some scenes that did work and some of the actors tried really hard to do something with their poorly written characters but the whole thing was just really misguided. To conclude, it is a very weak romantic-comedy and it is not really worth a look, even if you like the genre.

Good entertaining watch! Felt more kinda "Bollywoodish" movie
