Reviews for Sing Now Or Forever Hold Your Peace
Its dramatic freight lurches, and intriguing characters (a sex savant, an Indian human beat box) are sold short; a thinning of the ranks might have helped.
Take out all the elements of The Big Chill that made you like that film and keep the ones that annoyed you and you've got The Wedding Weekend.
Sing Now/Wedding Weekend has a marvelous personality to it that does wonders to alleviate the problem areas that plague the script.
Another one of those horrendous high concept vanity projects that thinks it's way funnier than it actually is.
As for the singing, it's pleasant but unctuous and, frankly, made me squirm.
Sing Now or Forever Hold Your Peace is a poor man's Big Chill, proving that navel gazing isn't the sole province of early baby boomers.
Molly Shannon, as the raunchy wife of the group's most reserved member, is the best-known actor in the cast and its most obnoxious.
A transparent Big Chill rip-off where all the soap opera's characters share the same toxic personality. Jumpin' Jehosaphat!
The actors are well cast and effective. As a film, Sing Now, shot on location, is as attractive as its cast.
One desperately wishes they'd take their signature greeting literally: "Shut up!"
Do we really need another movie with thirtysomethings who ache to re-live their college years? C'mon, guys, grow up!
A Big Chill without the dynamite acting, Bruce Leddy's debut indie Sing Now or Forever Hold Your Peace takes the yuppie manifesto's whiny self-absorption and ties it to a sitcom sensibility.
