Our Family Wedding (12A)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.If you think that title sounds bland, wait till you see the movie.
Two young Angeleno college graduates (America Ferrera, Lance Gross) want to get married – she's Hispanic, he's black – and once their respective families are over the shock there's the mother of all dingdongs about who runs the wedding. Most of the hostility is parcelled out between the couple's dads (Forest Whitaker, Carlos Mencia), though there's some old-school racist sniping in the wings from the Latina grandma. On and on it goes, truly, badly, meekly, before reaching the slapstick climax of a Viagra-chowing goat running amok through the nuptial feast. Laugh? You'll have seen funnier divorce proceedings.
