What a wonderful, fun movie! I found it by chance in the library because they were having a 3 for price of 2 offer and I hunted for a 3rd DVD.
Two weddings take place on the same day, and the receptions are at the same hotel, but the hotel has double-booked. They manage to fit both the events in. Then Sally Hawkins' character has a fateful encounter with the other marriage's new husband, and the result is absolute mayhem due to persistent and wonderful very Irish-humour misunderstandings. Hawkins' character's clever, wilfully interfering young daughter has her own agenda and adds to the chaos. Many things aren't what they seem and I was completely fooled by one of the tricks. It's real laugh out loud over and over and manic events ensue and yet it's not silly-funny farce, it's all very believable, it really could happen if......
Anyone who adores Father Ted will recognise the type of humour and don't we Brits all love this humour too!
I shall be buying this one! Irresistible and eminently rewatchable and just the kind of movie to watch with visitors wanting a quiet evening.... "Have you see this one?" Probably they haven't since it doesn't have any other reviews so far here...... You can start laughing even before they start watching, knowing how they'll soon be falling about!
This one should have had rave reviews. Where are they?

VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Comedy at it's best like the label say's makes you laugh out loud or it did me,good for a evening in with friends,it's about people who do things because they need the cash and that includes marrying someone who wants to stay in the country to be with his girlfriend,hey he was paying the money,the girl who then finds out that maybe she didn't really want to get married,how to go out in the middle of the wedding make friends with strangers and how to drown your phone in your glass of wine,very funny well worth the the money and time,will put a smile on anyone's face.

A Kid's Review
Format:DVD
After reading the reviews I purchased this item. However have to say I was very disappointed. It wasn't as funny and in parts a bit silly. In light of this it would be a film I would recommend.

Loved It
Completely fell in love with this movie. I don't know if it's because of the daughter in the movie or the nutter of the male lead.

happy ever after
One other reviewer stated that any serious filmgoer would be disappointed with this film and that is exactly right. It is an okish film, but nothing more. Read more

Definitely worth a look
I give this film three stars, which in my book is a good rating, because it achieves its objectives well: it is beautifully plotted, quite sharply written and very funny. Read more

Happily Ever Laughters
The twin term rom-com and wedding usually fill me with nausea and I tune out. But there is stateside horror and then there is homegrown comedy gems and this fantastically quirky... Read more
