adoption language barrier wife stepmother betrayal marriage

Plot summary

To the amusement of their adult children and friends, long-divorced couple Don and Ellie Griffin are forced to play the happy couple for the sake of their adopted son's wedding after his ultra conservative Catholic biological mother unexpectedly decides to fly halfway across the world to attend. With all of the wedding guests looking on, the Griffins are hilariously forced to confront their past, present and future - and hopefully avoid killing each other in the process.

Awkward with a capital A

Over all the movie was a bit of a disappointment even though I've been looking forward to seeing it for quite some time (Not for the big A- list case either), Rather I was looking forward to seeing the Talents of Ben Barnes back on the big screen. I wasn't disappointed in that regard. His portrayal of Alejandro was brilliant, his American accent was exact and his Spanish was impressive as well. I thought Al and Missy were adorable, but the movie itself had way too much going on. Just when you thought the story line couldn't get any crazier something stupider happened and by the end it was hard to keep everything that was going on straight. It had endearing and sweet family moments that were really it's only saving grace. If you had cut out half the random story lines and the random awkward sexual parts that...for the record did not add to the plot line, it would have been a great movie but as usual a potentially good film is ruined with crude comedy. That being said some of the story lines that had been supplemented by crude comedy were amusing story lines but were sort of ruined.

Just big enough.

The wedding is small. The cast is big. Great performances all around. Exactly what you expect from these seasoned professionals. They seemed to be having a good time.

A sitcom premise, adds some nudity and language to lift it to movie worthy. A great opening set piece with the three major stars. If you talk on a diving board is there any doubt your going into the pool?

Beautiful photography of a beautiful setting. A good score helps too.

It may not be the best of the "wedding comedy genre", but it is an entertaining, feel good movie. It is always good to see a family more messed up then your own. Eat some popcorn and enjoy the show.
