Ryan Eggold. Starring Justin Long, Cobie Smulders, Ryan Hansen and John Cho.
USA, 2017.
A woman invites her
ex-boyfriend to her wedding and all hell breaks loose.
This one was a little
confusing. I wasn’t sure what the point was. Normally it annoys me when people
say, “What was the point.” Well, what’s the point of any movie? To be a movie.
I guess what I mean is, watching the flick, I wasn’t sure how I was supposed to
feel about the main character, played by Justin Long. He doesn’t really seem to
learn anything – just gets more and more destructive as the film progresses.
The movie’s especially mean-spirited towards a woman unlucky enough to be
Long’s date for the wedding (Kristen Schaal). I guess we’re supposed to think
it’s funny he doesn’t treat her very well because she’s a little weird? Or are
we supposed to hate him for it? I couldn’t tell. There is one moment of near
enlightenment with Luis Guzman as a champagne-swilling member of the catering
staff at the wedding, but that’s a small oasis in an otherwise bleak tale.
