Cheerful Weather for the Wedding

IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes

This is not as much of a comedy or farce as the trailer makes out. It's a pretty dreary drama steeped to the eyeballs in proper British societal vernacular and behaviour. It almost chokes you with it. But I suppose that is entirely the point of the film. So having said that I'm sure you can guess where things lead.

It's well put together and they try to keep things interesting by keeping all the events on the wedding day and revealing all backstory slowly through flashback scenes interspersed throughout. But it's just not that fun to watch. It's so cold and austere and I really had no sympathy for any of the characters. Just didn't interest me. But some of you out there may enjoy it, if only for the costumes and period.
