I didn't buy a word of this thing and I didn't laugh enough.
Top CriticAlternately flat and overwrought.
To anyone who has ever sparked up a TV set, let alone entered a movie theatre, all this is perfectly evident in the first five minutes.
Alternately rancid and ridiculous, strident and sickly sweet, Our Family Wedding offers plenty that's old, borrowed and blue; it's the something new that's missing.
[A] slick, slapsticky, forgettable comedy, a cool-jazz riff on upper-middle-class American families sorting through misconceptions.
Our Family Wedding plays out like an elongated Disney TV episode, going precisely where you expect every inch of the way.
It may be clichéd and unoriginal, but it accomplished something that most other movies in the genre failed to do: It made me, and a theater full of people, laugh quite a bit.
Too many scenes are forced and seem out of place.
Good intentions and a good cast do not necessarily a good film make.
Except for Mencia, who should never be allowed near a camera again, Our Family Wedding isn't particularly awful, but that's about the best that can be said about it.
This inexplicable Hollywood movie contains a shocking collection of racial stereotypes...
Lacks a single legitimate laugh, despite engineering the humping of Forest Whitaker's leg by a priapic goat. Don't ask.
My Big Fat Rubbish Wedding.
A goat eats Forest Whitaker's Viagra. Do you really want me to tell you what happens?
This leaden romantic comedy feels like a pilot for a television series that never made the grade.
Too much lowest common denominator thinking sabotages any merits this might have had.
Do you recall a racial culture-clash comedy from 1967 called Guess Who's Coming To Dinner? This is an appalling, crass, 21st-century rehash of the same idea.
Lance's family are black. America's family are Mexican. And hilarity ensues! Supposedly.
Over four decades have passed since the ground-breaking Guess Who's Coming To Dinner first crossed the interracial romantic divide. But while this update intends solely to amuse, its sense of humour is as weak as the supposedly happy couple at its core.
A tedious and unnecessary rehash of many better films, this serves only to cast further doubt on the credentials of Oscar winner Forest Whitaker and the big screen career of America Ferrera.
An idea that might have worked as a sit-com but comes off lackluster in the format of a feature film, 'Our Family Wedding' is as predictable as can be.
When a biracial couple (America Ferrera and Lance Gross) tell their families about their engagement, everything goes awry in this formulaic flick. One particular low point: A goat at the wedding reception swallows Viagra and runs amok. Ha ha ha!
Like a lobotomized Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? -- with a horny goat thrown in.
so lacking in anything remotely fresh, humorous, interesting, or entertaining that you have to invent reasons for its existence
Yikes.
This film is not as funny as the Bernie Mac film,'Guess Who?,' as it's long in the tooth, and very predictable from start to finish.
