Overview
Three sisters return to their home for the third wedding of their twice-widowed mother. But the mother and daughters are forced to revisit the past and confront the future, with help from a colorful group of unexpected wedding guests.
I wanted to really love this film because I adore so many of the actors in it, and the story is an interesting one (and based on a true story). The script had a tough time keeping it interesting up until the payoff that happens towards the end of the film. It very much felt like one little verbal skirmish after another. I know that was part of the point, but it didn’t make for a great watch. And the last ten minutes felt like it was tacked on just to give the movie a longer run time. I was disappointed.
