This movie unapologetically milks coincidences for drama. Her brother is marrying her enemy. Her nemesis' aunt used to be best friends with her mom. Desperate for laughs, it almost used every trick in the Book of Comedy.
It was however, saved by a fantastic cast. Jamie Lee Curtis, Sigourney Weaver and Betty White made everything more amusing than it actually was! It was great watching them go at each other. Kristin Chenoweth was hilarious in her role as the wedding planner as well. I was rather amused at the use of Toxic during the dance-off!
Also, a slight departure from the usual "rom-com", the protagonist is the sister of the two lovers and the movie focuses on her emotional journey as she sees her brother marry the same girl who whooped her ass in High School.
It didn't fare too badly for a comedy. It was funny while it lasted but that's all, don't expect anything more!
