Watch The Wedding Video For Free

Best movie of this year hands down!

Please don't spend money on this.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

British comedies are hit and miss to say the least. My expectations were decidedly low for this one. I love Peep Show and will watch pretty much anything with Robert Webb (or David Mitchell) in it. However, when I watched 'Confetti' (another Brit-com with Robert Webb in it) I was left severely disappointed that even he couldn't elevate it out of the doldrums. The Wedding Video is, as you can probably guess, a 'film' made in the deliberately documentary style of the first person. Rufus Hound plays 'Raif' the long lost brother who returns to England when his brother, Tim (Robert Webb) is getting married.Raif's 'special' gift is a wedding video, charting the build up to the happy day - think 'Blair Witch, but with witches is posh hats from Cheshire.'The first thing I thought was how much Rufus Hound comes across as a cross between Simon Pegg and Ricky Gervais. His character is only one step away from being pretty damn annoying. However, in my (slightly biased) opinion, it's Robert Webb's character who saves it, as he doesn't suffer his annoying brother too gladly and frequently slaps him down when need be.As you might imagine, the build up to the wedding goes about as smoothly as the wedding itself. There are a whole string of unfortunate and cringe-worthy events, captured on camera for our viewing pleasure.The Wedding Video hasn't been that well received by people. I don't know what they were expecting. Granted it's hardly comedy gold, destined to become a future classic, but I found it certainly watchable enough for an hour and a half. There are a few good gags and the characters are actually quite amusing, especially the bride's mum who's totally obsessed with 'outdoing' her friends when it comes to her daughter's big day.Some people have criticised the ending. I didn't think it was that bad, but without spoiling it, I'll leave that for you to decide.The Wedding Video isn't amazing, but it's no turkey either.

I saw the trailer for this film, I may have misjudged it for looking terrible, but actually it was rated not too badly by most of the critics, and obviously there were some good names in the all British cast, and even if it was going to turn out cheesy I was prepared for that, from director Nigel Cole (Calendar Girls). Basically Raif (Celebrity Juice's Rufus Hound) is a shambolic oaf with an alternative sense of humour, and he has been chosen as best man for the wedding of his brother Tim (Peep Show's Robert Webb) and his girlfriend Saskia (Lucy Punch). His wedding present to them is a wedding video that he is filming himself, along with his fellow cameraman Roger (Matt Berry), so almost the entire film is from his camera's point of view starting from while all the ceremony preparations are going ahead, right up until the wedding day and reception. As everything is getting ready, we see that Tim is marrying into a higher class lifestyle, Saskia has a hideous upper-class grandmother Patricia (Miriam Margolyes) who has particular tastes, and the bride's mother is continuously trying to interfere with the wedding plans and arrangements, while The Wedding Planner Jenna (Green Wing's Michelle Gomez) is a bit bonkers. Raif also finds out that he remembers Saskia as a constantly rebellious and trouble making school girl, and when Tim and her are having small tiffs with each other because of all of the wedding difficulties Raif and her start to spend more time together, talking mostly about her increasing stress. It becomes apparent that as they continually get together Raif and Saskia have unintentionally fallen for each other, and Tim is having his own doubts about the oncoming ceremony as well, and after the hen and stag parties have been and the day finally comes, it is unclear what the conclusion will be. In the end Tim before the wedding asks Saskia if getting married to him is really what she wants, to which she tearfully answer "no", and reaching the altar Raif announces that the ceremony will not go ahead, but then he steps forward and asks the vicar to marry him and Saskia as their feelings are true, and Raif ends his wedding video in a much different but better way than thought before. Also starring Harriet Walter as Alex, Angus Barnett as Reverend Dobbs, Julianne White as Tara Devlin and Felicity Dean as Jacqui. Hound is suitable as the jokey brother of the groom, Webb does his awkward persona well, and the supporting cast members all get their moments to make you laugh as well, I will admit the jokes aren't hilarious but it is relatively good fun, if you imagine The Blair Witch Project (without the scary moments) mixed with Four Weddings and a Funeral that is kind of what this is like, it is a relatively likable romantic comedy. Worth watching!

Just watched The Wedding Video with my wife,She protested "Not another Wedding Movie"!,two hours later she was still laughing with me about this film,it won't win any academy awards or golden globes,characters do not look as though they are acting due to the semi "Doc'o" style of filming however the three main characters consisting of our Bride,Groom and Best Man with special mention of the the Brides mother and Grandmother made this film a laugh a minute,well maybe every two minutes. I don't know why some review's were so harsh,it is what it is,a mad movie about weddings and the loss of control by the "Couple To Be" the typical Mother outdoing her society friends and the Wedding Planner going out of her mind plus the best man (Also the Brother of the Groom)adding to the chaos. I liked the Doco style which reminded me of an Australian film "Kenny" a few years back,the acting was OK and worked well with the dialogue.We did not want our money back after watching this film compared to a lot of the contrived American rubbish on offer in recent time,The English have a great knack for comedy and I give this a 8/10 for laughs.

Those reviewers that have given this movie more than 3 have seen a different movie than myself. I have never seen worse acting in a movie that actors where paid to be in. A high school movie project has better actors.Direction...none. Cinematography..very bad. Acting..as bad. Story line..a sleeping tablet has less effect.Give this tripe a very wide miss. Total waste of time and money, how it was funded is quite beyond me. If I could give this movie no stars I would.There is absolutely nothing about this movie that is entertaining, or funny. No normal person could sit through this rubbish and come away feeling good. Seriously, it made me angry that films like this still hit the screen.I WANT A REFUND!!
