Not sure what with all the bad reviews here. Either people are used to Hollywood comedy style or never watched an European film, hence they can't get the humour here. The movie was funny and entertaining. It's an easy watch and the location was beautifully filmed. The acting was good and I love the cast in general. If you're looking for a movie to giggle then it's a good choice.

What is wrong with you people? this is like a hugh grant movie without hugh grant. did you seriously expect anything else when you decided to watch something called 'Love Wedding Repeat'?? it does exactly what it sets out to do.
Not that bad at all

Easy going romantic comedy. Think of Groundhog Day meets Four Weddings and a funeral, with Olivia Munn instead of Andie MacDowell, which is good since Andie MacDowell cannot act. The Cast were good, and the script made me laugh, a definite thumbs up.
Great light entertainment

Should have been so much better
isscm10 April 2020
What honestly should have been a charming romantic comedy turned out to be a seriously irritating film! I understand that things need to go wrong and that it was the premise but HONESTLY. It was the same type of irritation I got from watching Dinner for Shmucks. Wonderful actors, just too annoying for me to enjoy sadly.
Less than the sum of its parts

The performances are good, the storyline is clever, I don't regret watching it, but there was just something missing. I think the problem is the film can't decide if it's an awkward comedy or a sweet rom-com - it tries to be both, but doesn't quite manage either. It's still enjoyable, if just a little unsatisfying. Watch if you have a few hours to kill, aren't necessarily giving your full attention, but want something less twee than Hallmark.
A complete disappointment

Before starting the movie I was intrigued by its possibilities but, once begun, I could barely last through half of this movie. Forced "comic" situations, bad acting, worse dialogues and an absolute lack of spark between the actors made it an absolute drag to watch.
Mindless fun

A really fun and lovely romantic comedy

I don't get All the negativity

Warning: Spoilers
Honestly it's such a light hearted, romantic movie that kind of has a perfect ending. Just a good movie to watch when you're in some mindless romance that makes you smile for no reason. Really sweet, showing us all how important all of our actions are.
Fast forwarded to the end

I don't normally review movies on here but I felt the need with this one. This was one of the most painful movies I've tried to sit through. The situations the characters got themselves into were frustratingly avoidable so the whole plot was just frustrating. The only good part was when the maid of honor does his first speech. PLEASE just fast forward to that scene, watch, then flick over to something else. Painful.
Wanna laugh?

I don't know why the ratings are so low...I am not a comedy fan and to tell you the truth I find most of the recent comedies a sham!! Something has to be really funny for me to enjoy but this is subjective as people have different kinds of humor..
Anyway, in my opinion this is definitely worth watching and it will put you in a good mood since we all desperately need that due to current events!
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did..
Not that bad!

I hesitated to watch this because the reviews but this is actually not that bad. It's not a masterpiece but it's a really cute comedy with a bit of a Rashomon what-if scenario. Many things go wrong but many things go right as well and the characters are all interesting enough to make you hope for more and you really end up rooting for them. Everyone can relate to one of the wedding's many guests and it's a short enough movie to have a light evening of fluff.
Poor copy of Four Weddings and a Funeral
wipe200012 April 2020
I couldn't help thinking I'm watching a bad remake of 'Four Weddings and a Funeral'. Ok, it's a different storyline but characters and the way they'll (try to) get embarrassed makes this feeling of copying - even in this version the characters were not convincing at all . The film had its short moments but most of the time it was quite boring. It's hard to believe how little humor they could accomplish with a nice mix of English and Italian people and traditions.
Lots of out-loud laughs

I hadn't heard anything about this movie before watching it tonight, so didn't know what I'd be in for.
To be frank, I wasn't a fan of that movie Serendipity, whose plot was similar to this one. I'm also not always a fan of movies that feature comedies of error throughout them, at least not work they get particularly ridiculous. But I think that this movie did a better job than many at making use of both the alternate endings and the "comedy of error" devices.
There were numerous times when I couldn't stop laughing - like when the maid of honour was "under the influence", and doing that speech. I'm not sure where the seeming hatred for this movie comes from. Sure, it's not the most brilliant film you'll ever see, but I didn't think it was in any way bad.

Don't waste your time!

I almost never give any review, but this time I'm actually angry: What a waste of resources, location and actors... The story is simply idiotic, and the screenwriter/director clearly has no clue for comedy.
I repeat: Do yourself some good, and avoid this at all costs!

A perfect "forget about your life for an hour or two" film

I really don't get the low rating here, I have not got a single complaint about the movie, it's a romantic comedy with a great cast, I found myself laughing throughout the movie, is it gonna get an Oscar nomination? No, but if you want distract your self from life and have a little laugh this is a perfect pick.
Worst movie I have seen in a long time.
CajunNewsGirl12 April 2020
This was a total waste of time. It was hard not to just shut it off. But I did finish it so I could be fair in this review. Great actors but a terrible script. Do you really need to talk like trash in a movie to feel like people will watch it. I felt like 2 15 year old boys must have written this piece of trash.
I Liked It
bshaef11 April 2020
A very entertaining film for a social distance virus Saturday night.. Made me forget about it for a couple of hours. Escapism at its very best. i knew I had seen Hayley elsewhere and sure enough she was in Poldark. I think this is the third or fourth time I've seen her and she was good in everything. Netflix is genius . Showed this exactly the time I would like it best.
I have to stand up for this film
damilolas11 April 2020
I hate rom coms and I actually liked this one. Think it warms up hugely halfway through and end up being quite funny and charming. If you want something lighthearted and a little moving then watch this. Not all the performances were great throughout but all the actors shined at various moments.
A disappointment

A Sweet Movie that Has a Good Heart
Eric26625 October 2022
I am infatuated with Olivia Munn so anything she is in is going to get at least a 6 rating from me. She is absolutely stunning in this movie and the rest of the cast does their best to give the movie depth.
Jack (Sam Claflin) and Dina (Olivia Munn) had a romantic weekend many years before in Rome while visiting friends, but then lost touch. Several years later, they reunite at the wedding of Jack's sister, Hayley (Eleanor Tomlinson) and Roberto (Tiziano Caputo). Other guests include Chaz (Allan Mustafa) and Amanda (Freida Pinto) an engaged couple who hate each other. Jack's best friend, Bryan (Joel Fry) and his wife, Rebecca (Aisling Bea) are a overly sexual couple. Then there is Sidney (Tim Key) who is a self absorbed nerd trying to pick up someone at the weeding and Marc (Jack Farthing) who had a one night stand with the bride and crashes the wedding as he thinks they are in love.
The fun comes when Jack is supposed to spike Marc's champagne, but a bunch of unsupervised kids start rearranging the seating cards. (which is why you don't bring kids to a wedding). The unique thing is the movie plays out the story of what happens when its Bryan who gets the spiked drink (hint: it turns out disastrous). Then it jumps back in time and replays the story to show what would happen if Jack got the spiked drink. It was an interesting approach to storytelling.
The cast is beautiful to look at and the story is interesting enough. This concept had the chance to turn into a silly farce, but the story is kept grounded by the actors and the story moves along nicely. If I have one complaint about the movie its that, while its filmed in Rome, very little of the country actually shows up on screen. The wedding takes place at what appears to be an estate in the country. There is one small scene of Jack running through the streets of the nearby town, but nothing about it makes it feel like it couldn't have been filmed in a studio with the same effect. If you plan to film on location, then maybe show more of the location than what they did.
Still, I enjoyed this movie immensely and it was a sweet, romantic comedy.
