In my opinion this movie is in the same league as the greatest of british romcoms. This is a warm and sincere romantic movie that captures that gorgeous feeling of falling in love.

So we look at Rachel and Hecks wedding, to me, it wasn't the look of an ordinary wedding to me. In fact, it looked pretty dull and dreary that if it was my wedding, I would've hated it! There was no sparkle to it, even if Rachel felt in love with Luce and not Hecks. Also every actor that were the 'guests' in the wedding scene, they didn't show compassion that the bride and groom were officially married! It was like they knew Rachel and Luce were meant to be together!To make this short and sweet, I found Hecks character really wimpy especially towards the end. I'm like 'cmon act like an adult here, yes its a bummer that you've been cheated on but there will be someone that would love you for who you are!'. Seriously that guy needed to grow up lol! Now for the positives, the film was overall good and I like the fact how the American actors in the film made a HUGE effort on putting on a proper English accent as it can be really hard to do and the little girl that played H enlightened this film with her quotes & questions that we would all be wondering the same!

The characters in this film are good-looking, polite, rational and reasonably considerate. But they are also pretty bland. The plot is a bride gets a crush on her female florist, but is in denial it is a sexual attraction. She gets in too deep before she twigs.The plot proceeds a glacial pace because of the bride's ambivalence.The movie does not shy away from depicting the hurt her loving husband faces.The ending is corny to the max, with a happy ending for all, even the jilted husband. The ending just comes out of the blue without cause. Even a grandchild appears from some unknown womb to give the mother her fondest wish. It makes no sense.There is one scene that made me howl with laughter because it highlighted how utterly clueless the writer was about gay men. The married couple disturb two men having sex in a park at night. The two gay men then formally introduce themselves.The casting director favours a certain type of British man. I was often confused by which Cary Grant clone I was looking at.The movie treats a F-F couple as something highly exotic, shocking and unexpected. It is just not that big a deal anymore. I think the writer made up the screenplay out of his imagination of what he though it might be like to be a lesbian, not from the experiences of his lesbian friends. For example, Luce is extremely pretty and pleasant to be around, but has almost no friends.The music is great. It has big lush sound, lots of variety, melodious, fun.

As I saw "Gray Matters", i know where this late stinker has found inspiration: it's the same plot (a lesbian love struck after wedding) but transplanted in the perfidy Albion. Sure, all the cards are shuffled as it's not exactly the same dynamic between the characters or the same ending. My judgment is that here, everything is better: the cast, the locations, the characters. Piper is a great torn newcomer, Ozymandias is a supportive husband and Queen Lena embodies perfectly responsibility. The American clichés are gone: bye bye the extravaganza (except than here the families are still upper class), bye bye the coming-out repentance. Here, it's more about feelings but at the end, for me, it remains still very implausible for me. In fact, this kind of movie hurt two fundamentals and i always failed to get into.First, if I really believe in love struck, I exclude it about orientation. In others word, i can't think that one morning, you get up and fell for the same sex, especially after you married the opposite. It's like saying that chicken has teeth, pigs can fly or an unstoppable force meets an unmovable object. Second, my faith is that the Yes Wedding is an unbreakable vow: i understand why marriage is often a religious affair: for me, if there's a something that can't be broken, it's that word. I don't say that marriage will be always heaven, but the vow is the way to find solutions when downs appears! So, it's really until death do part.
