Disappointingly dull. I suppose if you find the concept of weddings (and the preparations surrounding them) inherently funny, you might enjoy this one. I barely cracked a smile. When the nightmare sequence is the best part of a comedy, something is wrong.

Reminiscent of Where is the Friend's House? in the best way. The children are both excellent and adorable.

Even if the kabuki style isn't your thing, this is worth watching for the incredible set design & lighting effects alone. Remarkable!

I appear to be in the minority here, but I felt this was not only interminably (and unnecessarily) long but that it also came across as embarrassingly amateurish at times. I've seen 4 of Cassavetes' films and, while I appreciate why he's considered important and influential, his technique is clearly not my cup of tea. Still, this is the first one I truly disliked. The god-awful, self-indulgent strip show segments were painful to endure (no wonder the dude's business is struggling!), and his approach to "realism" is ill-suited for the crime/thriller genre, rendering the action confusing and the dialog (ironically) unnatural and muffled. I didn't buy any of it and couldn't wait for it to end. Clearly I'm missing something with this one...
