Drunk Wedding (2015) Reviews

• Bloody Awful

  arfdawg-12015-05-31

  The Plot. John and Elissa's perfect destination wedding is derailed when their college friends get drunk on tequila. Let's be honest...when you sit down to watch a movie called Drunk Wedding, you are not expecting Citizen Kane. This movie is the same format of those found video movies, in the sense that the thing is done with personal hand helds. I hate this kind of film-making because it's just a reason for them to save money. Of course there is no explaining how a couple attempts to make a sex take with a hand held. It's so idiotic. The movie has the flavor of those horrible National Lampoon sex romps that were made maybe 10 or 20 years ago. They pander to 16 year olds who aren't even supposed to be allowed to see an R rated movie. Truthfully, it's unwatchable. It's just dumb and not funny.

  My tip touched your nip! That's the level of dialog in this dumb ass flick ... and it's just dumb ass enough to keep you watching! What does that say about me? A bunch of over privileged American white friends go to Nicaragua for a fancy wedding and spend all their time drinking and hopping from bed to bed. What a great idea for a movie - booze & sex - and I kept watching. One member of the wedding 'party' puts video cameras all around the grounds and rooms so everything would be fun to watch later. And not to spoil this dumb ass movie a 'mystery' is solved due to his video cameras. This dumb ass flick ain't as bad as other reviewers would have you believe. But it's real dumb ass!

  Okay so if you are reading this, you might be setting the bar of this movie too high. What did you really expect to see when you rented or bought a movie called "Drunk Wedding", and who reads a review of a movie with this title? Well if you're like me and did before you watched it, you might be interested to hear what it has to offer. In response to other reviewers on IMDb, this movie comes far short of a tits and ass movie. SPOILER: There's one scene with tits in it. This movie is what you would expect it to be. It's funny in places, less funnier than what the writers thought it would be in others, but it's easy to relate to if you are married, engaged, thinking about getting married, have been in a relationship, or have friends that like getting drunk. I gave it a 6, because when it's compared to ALL movies it will come up short. However if you were to put it on the scale of movies like it (e.g., National Lampoon's (put in some variation of fraternity recklessness)), it would be a 9. It's not as good as Hangover but better than Hangover 3. If you are looking for a movie on a random night to watch with your significant other, it's a YES. If you are looking for a movie to watch to gain deeper meaning into life or be moved emotionally, go watch Citizen Kane.

• Drunk Wedding is a Gonzo faux-doc raunchy travelogue wedding comedy that takes its pants off early and often.

  If you wish The Hangover had more of a found-footage feel — and no Bradley Cooper, and more bros getting peed on — here's an offbeat treat for you. You might not have heard of this one, and unless you happened to be at an Alamo Drafthouse this weekend, you probably haven't seen it. But if you're anyone I went to undergrad with, you absolutely should. Paramount released Drunk Wedding direct to iTunes this weekend. I bought it, and I watched it, and I can report that while you may not know all of the actors and it won't get the usual blockbuster ad campaign, it's quite the tequila-soaked barrel of fun. Just so we're on the same page here, Citizen Kane this is not. No. Drunk Wedding is a Gonzo faux-doc raunchy travelogue wedding comedy that takes its pants off early and often. It's dialed in tight and quite nicely paced, its modest 1:20 runtime a steady drumbeat of redband-worthy gags, pranks, and awww-shoot moments. Shooting on location in Nicaragua brings immediacy to the action, though the film is not without its issues in this regard: The found-footage style demands a certain gritty realism that doesn't always mesh well with the clearly quite decent cameras actually used here, and the cinematography occupies that strange reality/scripted middle ground that reminds me of an early dose of The Hills. (Nothing that a goat won't fix.) The writing is solid, at times laugh out loud hilarious, but set against the whole average-joes-filming-themselves trope it sometimes feels overwritten, too smart for its premise. (Too clever for your own good, Nick and Tony Weiss?) Interestingly, Drunk Wedding shares something in common with Take Me Home Tonight, another collegiate comedy I really liked: both languished on the shelf for a couple of years before their release. Quibbles aside, Drunk Wedding is here now and delivers what you're crashing it for — some memorable characters (Dan Gill is terrific as Phil, Nick P. Ross is deliciously creepy as Linc aka Beavis incarnate, and Victoria Gold does a great job as the girls' girl bride Elissa), some quality pranking, and an almost but not quite home movie feel. This is also the kind of movie you'll want all your friends to see, so your party-prone social circle has ready access to the bank of soon-to-be-iconic-at-least-to-us references. I will say though that if your "hey, this is just like the time" moments overlap very much with this film, your parties are off the flippin' chain, bro. Haus Verdict: Loved it. Small on budget and big on raunch, Drunk Wedding is just what it sounds like — and if you're in the market for that, take a look.

• Extremely underrated by the IMDB pseudo-intelectual reviewrs

  This movie is fresh, different and extremely funny. It has been a long time the typical popcorn movies and the most hype titles did nothing for my laughter. This one antagonises all the preconceptions people bring to this style of filming. The plot is actually very realistic and extremely funny at the same time, nothing is exaggerated as most of these things most of us, who have interesting lives, saw happening or heard of in our circle of friends. Give the movie a chance and just absorb.e the beauty of those normal gals rather than the super worked Hollywood stars, the day-to-day banter between couples and the dramas people face when in relationships or running from these.
