The Big Wedding


The adopted son of a divorced couple is to be married and his birth mother has been invited to the wedding. A problem is that the birth mother, a devoted Catholic, is not aware the adoptive parents have divorced. Not only that but the adoptive father is living 'in sin' with another woman. In a plot line reminiscent of 'La Cage Aux Folles' the divorced parents are asked to pretend that they remain married.

'The Big Wedding' plays like a French farce at times and not surprisingly it is a remake of a French film, 'Mon Frere Se Marie'; albeit with many of the details of the original changed.

There are humorous moments but I suspect the French might have done it more subtly with their version.

  2. MOM, It is humorous with some 'naughty' bits thrown in for good measure.
