I love it. For very subiective reasons. Test, not a coherent story, not the best job of Alicia Silveston, but good support for remind passing decades of life, crisis în different forma and intensity, second chances and a wedding in its very nice stepa. And , sure, some Judaism, loneliness. And nostalgia. A fist of stories for middle age public.

In a both broad and nuanced performance, Silverstone heads the cast of Sister of the Groom as Audrey, woman attending her brother's wedding on a date which was switched at the last minute to the weekend of her 40th birthday. Over the course of the weekend, Audrey's resentment piles up against Clemence, the young and careless bride, highlighting Audrey's own midlife issues. The film has many funny moments but is not a comedy. The excellent script is full to bursting with character, backstory, history and humanity but the real spine of the story are Audrey and Clemence, portrayed in an excellent performance by Mathilde Olivier, despite an almost too dislikeable character, an oversight on the part of of writer director Amy Miller Gross. Sister of the Groom was better written, constructed and cast than most films out there. Gross is definitely a film maker to watch.

A really disappointing, disjointed story that could have been so, so much better if actor and producer Alicia Silverstone had focused on one or two of the storylines. We're big fans but want to forget and should have avoided this film effort of hers.

Not normally my type of movie. I'm more into thrillers, not so much the feels. I just threw it on for background while web surfing after midnight, but was quickly sucked into wanting to know what would happen next. There was just enough "oh no, she didn't!" without being constant cringing. A hard balance to achieve. Left me feeling lighter after watching than when I went in. Might just have to look for some popular rom coms I've been avoiding. :-)

There's nothing wrong with this movie, it was actually pretty cute and entertaining! Sure, it's a bit over the top - but I thought it was rather clever and fun!

I like Alicia Silverstone so I was thrilled to find this movie. I didn't have high expectations for it, but I ended up being pleasantly surprised. The acting was decent, the production values were good, and the scenery was great. I don't think the current rating is justified so while I think this movie is a solid eight, I'm going to rate a ten. I enjoyed the movie so much that I will be rewatching. I was sad to hear the actor who played Alicia Silverstone's father passed away from complications of Covid. I first saw him in Desperately Seeking Susan. Forty five more characters until I can post this...

Watched it for Silverstone. I really like her. Not the best actress, but her movies are always good. What bothered me about this movie is how incredibly insufferable the brother is. He is completely blind and a total idiot. Unbelievable. Don't watch if you can't stand people making the biggest mistake of their life with a goofy grin on their face. Because that describes the brother.

There is a good angle for this plot. The Grooms sister brings her husband to her brother's wedding and has a whole lot of issues. She is failing in her own life, her husband is having problems too. Then when she meets the young chick marrying her brother, things just do not fit. Her strange relatives really put a strange surreal quality on the proceedings. It does not help that she is turning 40 (must be nice for Silverstone who is actually older than that). Plus she has twins who because the Wedding was rescheduled she does not bring. The quality writing is in the sister and brother's characters who are fully developed. The fault is in the Bride and her family who seem to have been duct taped into the script. At least the bride is a you chick who has some issues that come out. There are mature issues of sex, lies, and dead relatives that come into play. What gets me is the dead relatives seem to be more alive than the brides family which seems to hang around like deadwood through out the movie. I suppose it is correct that all the deadwood is having a party at a table during the closing credits of the movie. It would have been better to put some major bloopers here. Why that did not happen is strange, because the movie is not good enough that there were not some good bloopers for the closing. At least the plot can be followed though the end of the movie is just a ending.

Basically, a group of characters gather fir a wedding and then treat each other awfully. Such a waste of some good actors.

There's much to like in the sophomore effort from director Amy Miller Gross- snappy, realistic dialogue, and unsurprisingly solid chemistry from the leads and a poignant performance from the late lovable Mark Blum who I've seen in films since Desperately Seeking Susan. The first 40 minutes or so, as characters are being introduced are excellent, and I really loved the use of wedding-invite-styled scene dividers. The film loses steam in the middle as Alicia Silverstone's character increases her aggression towards her future sister-in-law, so much that she lost my sympathy. The central conflict resolves rather abruptly. However, the final scene between Tom Everett Scott and Alicia was one of the best in the film though. I give this film higher marks since I see it was from a newer director. Production value is excellent - refined music that supports the emotion and tasteful cinematography.
