Beautiful Wedding

This movie is so low budget that I cannot believe it was greenlit by the production company. My bar for the movie was low to begin with but this exceeded my expectations of just how bad it was.

I am not really sure who the audience was that this movie was made for but the trailer is definitely better than the actual movie and does a great job of selling a fake story / plot. When the voice overs and animations started I could already tell I made a terrible mistake. Also the inclusion of a gangster storyline served exactly zero purpose. I actually felt bad for some of the actors for having been in this movie. It was super cringe, don't waste your time. 2 stars just for the effort and because I like some of the actors.

While the production quality of this film is high, its shortcomings are glaring. This supposed comedy flick fails to deliver on every front. With zero storyline and no character depth, it's a disappointment from start to finish. The humor in this film feels incredibly forced, and the storyline lacks a clear direction, making it difficult to follow. None of the scenes manage to elicit even a chuckle, with the comedy falling flat at every turn. Instead of genuine wit, viewers are subjected to a barrage of cheap jokes that do little more than pad out the movie's runtime One viewing is more than enough to realize this film's lack of substance and entertainment value. The first movie was better than this one, but this will just make your head scratch.

This movie has to go down as one of the worst movies ever released. As someone who loved the books, this movie is a disgrace to the author! Even if you have not read them, this movie from start to finish is a complete joke!

From the over the top jokes, cock fighting fake crying scenes, pathetic over the top acting, awful awkward conversations, pulling dicks and tits out because the plot is going no where (and makes no sense), this low budget movie will leave you feeling mind numb, wishing you hadn't wasted an hour and a half of your life!

Save your time and energy and watch absolutely anything else!

This follows Beautiful Disaster (2023) and its closing credits slide show. Abby Abernathy (Virginia Gardner) and Travis Maddox (Dylan Sprouse) are in Vegas with their friends America (Libe Barer) and Shepley (Austin North). They wake up shocked to find a load of cash and that Abby and Travis had gotten married. The foursome goes on the run to a Mexican resort and escape from Benny (Rob Estes) looking to get paid.

I really like the two lead actors. The first movie isn't much. I wish I liked it, but I could not abide by the slap-dashed attempts at broad humor. This movie tries even harder, and they still don't have that comedic sidekick. It's a struggle. First, I didn't remember a lot of the first movie. I had forgotten all together that she played poker. I blocked the last half of the movie after the hand job. In a way, I blocked the last half of this movie after all the boobs. What can I say? Those are the most memorable moments and they aren't that funny. Let's hope that there are no more books to turn into movies.

Ah, "Beautiful Wedding" (2024), a cinematic adventure where Abby and Travis accidentally marry in Vegas and think, "Why not honeymoon in Mexico?" sounds like the kind of movie you'd invent to win a bet on making the most predictable rom-com ever. Yet, here it is, in all its glory, demanding that we sit through nearly two hours of what could only be described as a series of unfortunate events that make you wish they had annulled the movie along with the marriage.

First off, the chemistry between Abby and Travis is as convincing as a tofu steak at a barbecue. Their attempts at romantic banter feel more like awkward exchanges between strangers who've been forced to share a cab. The supporting cast of friends and family are intended to add spice and laughter but instead come off like they wandered in from a different, possibly more interesting movie set. Each gag lands with the subtlety of a brick, and the slapstick scenarios are as fresh as last week's guacamole.

By the time the plot drags us to the picturesque beaches of Mexico, you hope for some redemption or maybe a beautiful scenic distraction. But no, the film doubles down on its commitment to mediocrity with a series of predictable misunderstandings and reconciliations that feel as though they were scripted by a chatbot programmed to churn out clichés. "Beautiful Wedding" tries to be a feast of fun and fails spectacularly, serving up nothing but reheated leftovers from better movies. One and a half stars, and even that feels like a wedding gift.
