If anyone can show just cause not to watch let him speak now or forever hold his peace

And I am speaking now. Actually, others might enjoy this movie. These are just my thoughts.

Raphael interviews many of the guests. This is more fun than anything else at the reception.

Vinnie, whose place hosts the reception, is a standup comic and quite likable.

The reception has the usual comic moments and some very unusual misadventures. I don't see how anyone can drink as much as some of these people did and not pass out, but the results are predictable.

There is music for nearly every taste. I liked the tarantella and an Italian version of Elvis' "Love Me Tender". Or perhaps he sang the English version of an Italian song. The band insists on power ballads. In some scenes I hear hard rock but don't know where that is coming from. Earlier in the movie we heard rap, but I think that was just those of us watching the movie.

I did not enjoy this movie. Maybe there were a few good moments but I never quite reached the point where i really liked it.

In addition to Vinnie, Uncle Lui (or Louis, depending on which version of the credits you go by) and Grandma were standout characters.

Was this family friendly? I mentioned the statues. The sound went out A LOT. And when it did, a character's mouth was often blurred. Sometimes this was so bad I couldn't follow what was going on. These people are just plain crude. And there was a lot of blurring of hands.

But some people might enjoy this type of humor. It just wasn't for me.
