Movie Reviews of The Wedding Party
Movie Review: I love this movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is such a classic! I especially commend the acting talents of not only Robert DeNiro, but that young Judith Thomas! She was robbed of her oscar in 1969 for her wonderful performance!
Summary of The Wedding Party
Directed by Brian De Palma! Robert De Niro's first role! The happy day has finally arrived for Charlie and Josephine. The invitations have been sent, the relatives have arrived and Charlie is just about to meet his new family. There is just one problem as they head toward the alter, Charlie's case of cold feet brought on by his two best pals Cecil (De Niro) and Alistair (William Finley). Will Charlie say "I do" or will he let Cecil and Alistair talk him out of it?DVD Extras

It grows more quaintly silly with each passing year, but The Wedding Party can be enjoyed for more than Robert De Niro's modest screen debut. Brian De Palma's first feature is not entirely his own (friends Wilford Leach and Cynthia Munroe are credited as codirectors), and that may explain why this whimsical black-and-white comedy reveals no early hint of the Hitchcockian thrillers that De Palma became known for. If anything, it's a close cousin to De Palma's subsequent satires Greetings (which was actually released first) and Hi Mom!, which further capitalized on De Niro's fast-rising talent. Jill Clayburgh also makes her debut here, and while De Palma makes good use of idyllic locations on Shelter Island, New York, and Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, he employs all variety of low-budget techniques (fast-motion, unsynchronized sound, etc.) to cobble together a giddy chronicle of impending nuptials between an anxious pair (Clayburgh and Charles Pfluger) of Long Island lovebirds. De Niro (credited as "Robert Denero") is actually quite funny as the bridegroom's buddy, and Valda Setterfield gives a standout performance as Clayburgh's mother. It's a ridiculous mish-mash of familial mirth and mayhem, but with a budget of $43,000, De Palma showed enough directorial promise to win a theatrical release, three years after this film was made in 1966. --Jeff Shannon
