Movie Reviews of A Wedding
Movie Review: Carol Burnett & Desi Arnaz Jr.
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie. Carol Burnett and Desi Arnaz Jr. along with a dozen of other misfit carachters at the worst wedding of the century. Bridesmaids of horror and a maid of honor in love with her father and every other man, and best men who one is in love with the groom...what a wacky Robert Altman film. This film will keep you laughing and in suspense at the finale. I saw this movie when it came out in the theaters because of CB and DA Jr. but you won't be disappointed with the appearances of Lillian Gish, Mia Farrow and other top celebrities.
Summary of A Wedding
Robert Altman looks at the institution of marriage and finds hilarity. All-star cast includes Carol Burnett, Lauren Hutton, Dina Merrill, Mia Farrow and Pat mccormick.After the intensity of 3 Women, Robert Altman joked that he would relieve the pressure by "shooting a wedding." Fittingly, A Wedding, like many of his ensemble efforts, is part serious and part comic--much like the man himself. It begins with the ceremony, where brace-faced Muffin (Amy Stryker) and two-timing Dino (Desi Arnaz Jr.) are joined in holy matrimony by a rickety old bishop (John Cromwell, anticipating Rowan Atkinson's bumbler in Four Weddings and a Funeral). At the rambling reception, other parties come into play, including the parents (Carol Burnett and Paul Dooley vs. Anita Van Pallandt and Vittorio Gassman), the silent sister (Mia Farrow), the stressed-out wedding coordinator (Geraldine Chaplin), and the pesky photographer (Lauren Hutton). Then there's Dino's frail grandmother (Lillian Gish), who'll be lucky to make it through the day alive. As in Gosford Park, Altman spends as much time with the well-heeled guests as the behind-the-scenes staff. If anything can go wrong as these divergent personalities come together, it does. Regarding the 48 cast members, his son Stephen quips in the accompanying featurette, "I think he just wanted to double the 24 actors that were in Nashville." If they don't all register, A Wedding still ranks as one of the more democratic films ever made (the director's three co-writers all have bit parts). The film, which grows darker and more chaotic as it hurtles ahead, may be "minor Altman," but as wedding-related satires go, this widescreen effort stands tall. Suffice to say, hide-bound traditionalists need not apply. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
