Weddings

Hello All,

Wedding Crashers was on Warner TV on the weekend and it is quite a fun, easy weekend movie to watch. It has been the inspiration for today's post.

Most wedding films tend to be comedies but there are also a few dramatic gems out there that are also worth watching. A few of my favourite wedding movies include:

The Wedding Singer - I know Adam Sandler is not great but as a child of the 80s I enjoy this film as much for the soundtrack as I do for the weak storyline.

Four Weddings and a Funeral - there are a few moments in this film that are quite cringeworthy but the film overall is worth a watch.

The Wedding Banquet - I think this is one of Ang Lee's best films. It really has quite a few levels to it and is a great comedy.

Margot at the Wedding - brilliant performance from Nicole Kidman in this must watch drama.

My Best Friend's Wedding - This is a great feel good movie. Wonderful performances by both Cameron Diaz and Julia Roberts. Rupert Everet really makes this film.

Muriel's Wedding - being an Australian that grew up in a beachside town, I probably get a little more out of this film than most. That said, it is a wonderful film that has stood the test of time quite well. Both Toni Colette and Rachel Griffiths are fantastic. Good performance from Bill Hunter as well.

27 Dresses - this is an easy to watch romantic comedy. It doesn't require any brain power to enjoy. Great chick flick.

The Wedding Date - another easy to watch romantic comedy. I happen to like Deborah Messing. I think she should be doing more film dramas than comedies. That said, she is great in this easy to watch film.

After the Wedding - this Danish film is a great drama. Definitely worth a watch. Brilliant performances throughout.

That's it for today.  Do you have a favourite wedding film that is not mentioned above that you think others should see? Let me know in the comments below.
