unfunny, overlong

Rating: 4/10 (25 November 2006)

Maybe I'm just too old.
Maybe, being female, I don't find movies about cruising weddings for one night stands funny. I also don't find outrageous parodies of gay-artist-maniacs funny. The first 10-15 minutes are promising, but after that this 'film' gradually falls apart. Very uneven concepts with the heaving-breathing other maniac (Claire's finance) and her sister, the nympho-turned virtuous bride-to-be. Lots of bloopers and unexplained plot twists, like Vaughn miraculously escaping his bonds after being pinned down all night long (where did Gloria learn those naval knots?), and the finance's friend who managed to track down our heroes' wedding crashing mania despite their aliases and no background info. And when Claire is rescued during the wedding interruptus, why is everyone---priest, her finance, parents, guests, etc.--miraculously silent while Our Couple work out their problems? Oh well, I didn't like Meet The Parents either, a movie from which this film borrowed a great deal.
