Last Wedding

Mojo needs to review the 'very excellent movie, 'Last Wedding.

God, it's a great film.

'the opening scene and the ending scene--are the best and 'everything in-between makes the opening and ending scenes 100% 'sit there in your chair, sofa, cot, bed.... 'whatever, 'enveloped in the impression of the movie as though one's been stamped with an iron 'rubber stamp!!!!: 'and, you can't move to 'turn off the television 'for 'several moments (minutes).....

'it's that great of a movie, but ya 'have to 'watch 'the 'whole movie 'to absorb the introduction and the final scene. It's some of the best writing I've 'ever (ever) seen (I'm a writer--and, when I watch a movie, I 'mentally 'rewrite the 'ending scene. 'this movie is so 'great, no one can 'write a better 'ending!!!! NO ONE! 'absolutely no one!!!!!!)

'this was a very 'under-rated movie......

'great acting. 'great 'story line.

Obscene 'reality.

MOJO! Get on it and 'notify me 'when you've reviewed it!!!!!!

Last Wedding is a character driven piece with intriguing little peeks into the inner workings of people as they make their way through life.

Though sometimes the scenes begin to drag a little they then catch their breath and come back to life again. It's a good movie for a rainy day.

This movie explores the many tangled emotions that throw even the most confident bride and bridegroom into panic. And then there's life after the honeymoon. Whether you are about to be married, newly married or celebrating your 50th anniversary you'll find something that rings a bell of familiarity.

The abrupt ending, as previously mentioned, was a little disappointing but I'm sure we'll be seeing more of Benjamin Ratner and the rest of the cast.

Within the genre of romantic comedies, Last Wedding stands out from the rest of the pack. It is a slightly absurd (yet very honest) portrayal of how relationships are, and how they can fail. Whether it's with hasty commitment, selfishness, or a flagrant lack of healthy communication, Last Wedding proves that our own, below-Hollywood-standard relationships cannot be ignored and that they deserve some sort of cinematic representation. Thank you Bruce Sweeney for bringing a dose of romantic realism back to the film industry. I don't know how you do it, but you turn the silver screen into a gigantic mirror for a captivating 101 minutes. You allow us the opportunity to relive our personal dating history with your own colourful brand of constructive criticism. We laugh as much as we cringe because you manage to entertain your audience without truly shaming us.

Bruce Sweeney's Last Wedding is a hilarious but flawed look at three couples whose marriages all fall apart. This is the reverse of a romantic comedy. The comedy is there all right, but there are only fleeting glances at any thing that could be called romance. The film starts just before the wedding of Noah and Zipporah, the last of the three couples to tie the noose - I mean knot. From that point on, it's all downhill, as we watch how these three relationships crumple in a pile of miscommunication, and infidelity. Some of the moments in this movie are uproariously funny, but there is too much sadness in between. That is really the only flaw - the slow pace. But the acting is sensational, and there are many memorable moments - both of which definitely overshadow the pacing problems.

Last Wedding is a slow moving heart warmer. Three men in a tub: rub-a-dub-dub. The movie is about how they messed up with the loves of their lives, but it isn't painful in the least. You'll laugh all the way through. The acting is draws you in, so you are fascinated by these real life characters. Your heart goes out to them, despite their glaring faults. The directing is expert. The editing and camera angles play up the slow building drama to the max. If there is a fault, it is the lack of a powerful dramatic arc. However, some would call that refreshing. The lack of "special effects" was fine, too. There was no shortage of lasting lovable memories.
