Our Family Wedding is a mirthless, contrived affair that does little with its promising premise and talented cast.

A goat eats Forest Whitaker's Viagra. Do you really want me to tell you what happens? Jun 24, 2010 | Rating: 2/5

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! Mar 25, 2010 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

With several solid performances and its share of sweet and even clever moments, Our Family Wedding occasionally blooms with potential. But the goat and other silly notions gobble it up. Aug 13, 2018 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

The fact that it's two minorities who are slinging racially charged comments at each other doesn't make it acceptable or funny. Aug 16, 2017 | Rating: C | Full Review…

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. Oct 1, 2012 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

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. Apr 25, 2011 | Rating: 5/10 | Full Review…

Yes, it was funny. But, it was a bit too much as well. Very predictable and corny at times.
Cast: Forest Whitaker, Carlos Mencia, America Ferrera, Lance Gross, Regina King, Mimi Michaels, Hayley Marie Norman, Anna Maria Horsford, Natalina Maggio, Lupe Ontiveros Director: Rick Famuyiwa Summary: Forest Whitaker and funnyman Carlos Mencia butt heads as two domineering dads forced to set aside their culture-clash differences and team up to plan their children's wedding, with only two weeks until the big day arrives. America Ferrera plays the pregnant bride-to-be opposite Lance Gross as her medical resident fiancé in this wacky comedy. My Thoughts: "There where only two funny things in this movie and that was Anjelah Johnson and the goat. The rest just felt like I had already seen it. Which is where the movie 'Guess Who' came into mind. The same concept, just not as funny. I am surprised at how bad it was considering some of the cast that is in the film. But it really was just a waste of a rental."
After a weekend of good films (three in a row) I was treated to this horrible mess of a film. I don't need to discuss the plot because you know the plot. There is nothing new here. It's called Meet The Fockers. Watching this film will steal a piece of your soul. Not a large piece, but enough that you will notice. The script is a mess. Every character in this film must be bipolar by the way they change attitudes toward each other on the drop of a dime. The acting is shit and the cast includes a damn Oscar winner. Forrest, do not pull a Cuba Gooding, Jr. Please, for all that is holy! I can't write anymore. In closing, the script, direction, and acting is the equivalent to a third grade play about Transformers and Bakugan. This review almost sucks as bad as this movie. Please, don't get suckered into this one.
