Yet another genial, utterly predictable, wedding-related rom-com, this time with an all-Irish cast.
Hugh O'Conor's feminine, passive-aggressive theatre-set designer groom, Fionnan, has comedic potential (if Wes Anderson were planning his big day, this is how you imagine he'd be). But his macho brother-in-law, “The Machine” (Peter McDonald, also the film's co-writer) is so obviously a dramatic catalyst that it's hard to get involved when he crashes the stag weekend in Wicklow and, naturally, causes chaos.
Another problem is Ruth, the feisty-but-angelic bride (Amy Huberman). This character has no interior life. Why, for example, does she prefer Fionnan to Davin (Andrew Scott, Sherlock's Moriarty), his delightful best man? Director John Butler is too busy trying to be Richard Curtis to even give us a clue.
