Written and Directed by
Justin Zackham. Based on the screenplay by Jean-Stephane Bron and Karine Sudan.
Starring Robert De Niro, Katherine Heigl, Diane Keaton, Amanda Seyfried, Topher
Grace, Ben Barnes, Susan Sarandon and Robin Williams. USA, 2013.
The adopted son of a
wealthy New England family is set to get married, but has to hide the fact that
he grew up in a house split by divorce from his birth mother, who is visiting
from Colombia. But that’s not the only secret – turns out this wacky family has
lots of drama ready to explode with the wedding as a back drop.
Watching this movie I
just kept thinking what a waste it was. Look at the stacked cast. You’ve got
Robert De Niro, Diane Keaton, Susan Sarandon and Robin Williams all in one
movie together, and this is what you give them to do? Play out bland
paint-by-numbers sitcom plotlines. Even the younger generation of performers is
stacked with talented and usually likable actors like Topher Grace and Amanda
Seyfried. But they’re not given anything great to do, either. Sometimes
mediocre movies are worse than terrible ones.
