I wanted to like this film more than I actually did. This is a warm, enjoyable, though slightly lacklustre, feel good romantic comedy headed by the new wave of British comedy talents who have hit British television screens in recent years. Anyone who is familiar with Alan Partridge, The Royle Family, People Like Us or The Office will recognise the cast although it doesn't quite match the comic tones of those programmes.
The worthy motto of the story is this: marry for love and love alone which is why the most solid and normal of the three couples, played by Jessica Stevenson and Martin Freeman, eventually win the competition for having the most original wedding. The other two couples are there principally to provide the humour and although I did not laugh out loud at all the jokes, I saw where they were coming from.
Go and see it for a feel-good British romp. Certainly an alternative to The Da Vinci Code - especially as tickets for that are running out.
