An average movie

To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much from the damned thing but, since there were a few interesting actors involved, I thought I might as well check it out anyway. Well, unfortunately, as expected, it did turn out to be one of these dreadful wedding comedies. I mean, for a half of the duration, one of the characters was displaying a Hitler moustache and haircut, and the other big running joke was dealing with some ram which was just so idiotic but it will give you an idea of the humor displayed here. In fact, the concept of having an English guy marrying with an Australian girl after they spent only 10 days together was maybe not really original but I think it actually had some potential. Unfortunately, they seriously did nothing interesting at all with this concept and, instead, they focused on some really half-baked characters and kept delivering some rather pathetic jokes or visual gags every 2 mins. Eventually, the only person who seemed to have some fun was Olivia Newton-John and I have to admit that she was actually fairly entertaining but all the other characters were just so boring. It was interesting that the most famous actors of the bunch (Rebel Wilson and Elizabeth Debicki) turned out to be barely used after all but, on the other hand, back then, both of them were practically unknown, especially Debicki since it was her very first movie. At least, Laura Brent was really lovely and I thought I saw here somewhere before but it seems that her career went pretty much nowhere after this debacle. Anyway, to conclude, I guess the damned thing was rather harmless but it was also terribly lame and you should probably avoid it, even if you really loved ‘The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert’, an actually really good movie also directed by Stephan Elliott.
