Drunk Wedding (2015) User Reviews

Underrated by Reviewers on IMDb

[mduncanmtsu · 6/10 · 29 July 2015]

Okay so if you are reading this, you might be setting the bar of this movie too high. What did you really expect to see when you rented or bought a movie called "Drunk Wedding", and who reads a review of a movie with this title? Well if you're like me and did before you watched it, you might be interested to hear what it has to offer. In response to other reviewers on IMDb, this movie comes far short of a tits and ass movie. SPOILER: There's one scene with tits in it.

This movie is what you would expect it to be. It's funny in places, less funnier than what the writers thought it would be in others, but it's easy to relate to if you are married, engaged, thinking about getting married, have been in a relationship, or have friends that like getting drunk.

I gave it a 6, because when it's compared to ALL movies it will come up short. However if you were to put it on the scale of movies like it (e.g., National Lampoon's (put in some variation of fraternity recklessness)), it would be a 9. It's not as good as Hangover but better than Hangover 3.

If you are looking for a movie on a random night to watch with your significant other, it's a YES. If you are looking for a movie to watch to gain deeper meaning into life or be moved emotionally, go watch Citizen Kane.

Way better options out there

[PacmanKO88 · 4/10 · 6 June 2021]

Nothing profound here...a simple plot where we expect outrageous behavior/situations and uproarious/crude humor. That's all I expected and hoped for. There were a few good laughs but not enough for what this movie was supposed to be, as I just described. I did like the character of Phil, he was amusing throughout. But among this genre there are endless better options. The Hangover this is not...

Bloody Awful

The Plot.

John and Elissa's perfect destination wedding is derailed when their college friends get drunk on tequila.

Let's be honest...when you sit down to watch a movie called Drunk Wedding, you are not expecting Citizen Kane.

This movie is the same format of those found video movies, in the sense that the thing is done with personal hand helds.

I hate this kind of film-making because it's just a reason for them to save money.

Of course there is no explaining how a couple attempts to make a sex take with a hand held. It's so idiotic.

The movie has the flavor of those horrible National Lampoon sex romps that were made maybe 10 or 20 years ago. They pander to 16 year olds who aren't even supposed to be allowed to see an R rated movie.

Truthfully, it's unwatchable. It's just dumb and not funny.

Unknowns pretending to be juveniles

[timlittle · 2/10 · 6 February 2019]

It can be hard to review a movie that has absolutely no point to it - but I'll try in order to help prevent people wasting their limited time on this earth from sitting through this.

A more unpleasant bunch of characters you couldn't hope to meet. Loud, crass, exhibitionist, self indulgent and idiotic they are everyone's nightmare on holiday.....they think partying involves shouting at each other louder than everyone else and screeching at hand held cameras whilst pulling stupid faces.

This isn't amusing and at points you can almost sense one or two of the casts discomfort as they try and force wild laughter and carry out juvenile antics on their fellow travellers.

The handheld camera style of filming has surely reached the end by now. I hope so.

There's no meaningful story as such - someone's getting married somewhere and a bunch of dreadful people have gone with them - the acting is poor and the characters are truly repugnant.

I am at a loss to think who this might appeal to. I would be staggered to hear that someone would find it funny and disappointed that someone thinks this is how Americans should be depicted abroad.

2 stars ? Nicaragua looks nice - though no-one seems to have bothered showing much of it. The majority of scenes take place in hotel bathrooms.

I give it zero and that's generous

[ndeshi1110 · 1/10 · 26 April 2021]

Who is the the 14 year old virgin who wrote this rubbish?? The actors are awful, their characters are just horrible and it's beyond cringy. Grown men giggling at the sight of each others privates is supposed to be funny NOT funny at all not even one bit. This film is nothing but trash do not watch.

crap

[kaine-01558 · 1/10 · 9 June 2019]

Dont waste your time watching this crap. B grade. if there wasnt anything else to watch I would rather watch paint dry

Drunk Wedding

[Prismark10 · 1/10 · 28 April 2021]

A wedding is a resort in Nicaragua is an excuse for debauchery. Drink and sex. That is not going to turn out well!

Phil thinks that it would be great if everyone could record the goings on when his wife's sister gets married.

There is nothing pseudo-intellectual to say Drunk Wedding is a bad movie. It is inspired by the found footage type films.

It is plotless and witless. The director thinks that some silly raunchy behaviour could pass off as a comedy.

One scene includes a man urinating on another man as he lies on the bed.

The story has all the coherence of a mess left behind by projectile vomiting.

Drunk Wedding is a Gonzo faux-doc raunchy travelogue wedding comedy that takes its pants off early and often.

[ParsingHaus · 8/10 · 27 May 2015]

If you wish The Hangover had more of a found-footage feel — and no Bradley Cooper, and more bros getting peed on — here's an offbeat treat for you. You might not have heard of this one, and unless you happened to be at an Alamo Drafthouse this weekend, you probably haven't seen it. But if you're anyone I went to undergrad with, you absolutely should.

Paramount released Drunk Wedding direct to iTunes this weekend. I bought it, and I watched it, and I can report that while you may not know all of the actors and it won't get the usual blockbuster ad campaign, it's quite the tequila-soaked barrel of fun.

Just so we're on the same page here, Citizen Kane this is not. No. Drunk Wedding is a Gonzo faux-doc raunchy travelogue wedding comedy that takes its pants off early and often. It's dialed in tight and quite nicely paced, its modest 1:20 runtime a steady drumbeat of redband-worthy gags, pranks, and awww-shoot moments. Shooting on location in Nicaragua brings immediacy to the action, though the film is not without its issues in this regard: The found-footage style demands a certain gritty realism that doesn't always mesh well with the clearly quite decent cameras actually used here, and the cinematography occupies that strange reality/scripted middle ground that reminds me of an early dose of The Hills. (Nothing that a goat won't fix.) The writing is solid, at times laugh out loud hilarious, but set against the whole average-joes-filming-themselves trope it sometimes feels overwritten, too smart for its premise. (Too clever for your own good, Nick and Tony Weiss?) Interestingly, Drunk Wedding shares something in common with Take Me Home Tonight, another collegiate comedy I really liked: both languished on the shelf for a couple of years before their release.

Quibbles aside, Drunk Wedding is here now and delivers what you're crashing it for — some memorable characters (Dan Gill is terrific as Phil, Nick P. Ross is deliciously creepy as Linc aka Beavis incarnate, and Victoria Gold does a great job as the girls' girl bride Elissa), some quality pranking, and an almost but not quite home movie feel.

This is also the kind of movie you'll want all your friends to see, so your party-prone social circle has ready access to the bank of soon-to-be-iconic-at-least-to-us references. I will say though that if your "hey, this is just like the time" moments overlap very much with this film, your parties are off the flippin' chain, bro.

Haus Verdict: Loved it. Small on budget and big on raunch, Drunk Wedding is just what it sounds like — and if you're in the market for that, take a look.

This movie has no redeeming qualities

[mxytptlx · 1/10 · 2 June 2015]

I live in Nicaragua. I was enthusiastic when I heard that they had made a movie in San Juan del Sur which IMHO is the most beautiful place in our country.

Alas, the movie did not catch my interest in any way and the gratuitous sex scenes were in bad taste.

On top of that, there is barely a couple of short scenes showing the San Juan bay and not a single scene of the lovely town. Most of the movie was shot at a hotel and after a while the whole thing felt claustrophobic.

They used cheap equipment to film the thing. So cheap that there were shots where the camera shook when whoever was doing the shooting walked around.

Awful. The only way to put it is awful.

In my top 10 worst movies of all time.

[moleman-24392 · 1/10 · 1 September 2023]

In short, I don't think I've ever seen a film where every character is so unlikeable, seriously they couldn't have made them more unlikable if they tried! It's basically like a feature length movie of those painfully unfunny guys on Facebook that live together and pull fake staged pranks on each other.

Who on earth green lit this crap? I mean people actually spent money on making this trash!

The only people this rubbish may appeal to are people who enjoy the fake and staged pranks videos that you see on social media.

Everyone connected with this movie should never be allowed to work in the industry ever again!

Extremely underrated by the IMDB pseudo-intelectual reviewrs

[pudget-412-553899 · 8/10 · 8 March 2018]

This movie is fresh, different and extremely funny. It has been a long time the typical popcorn movies and the most hype titles did nothing for my laughter. This one antagonises all the preconceptions people bring to this style of filming. The plot is actually very realistic and extremely funny at the same time, nothing is exaggerated as most of these things most of us, who have interesting lives, saw happening or heard of in our circle of friends. Give the movie a chance and just absorb.e the beauty of those normal gals rather than the super worked Hollywood stars, the day-to-day banter between couples and the dramas people face when in relationships or running from these.

I laugh a lot

[ramirocharriol · 9/10 · 17 March 2017]

Yeah, the plot it's not big deal, and the camera shakes, but the humor is neat, dark, naughty, and shocking. With all that movies with stupid jokes, i'm very glad to have seen this masterpiece. Also i like the characters, they aren't that basic as might seem. The movie is basic, but if you like dark and stupid humor, this movie have a lot of that.
