Mi Primera Boda (My First Wedding) (2011)

Synopsis
Mi Primera Boda (My First Wedding) is a celebration of love or an unresolved display of the ugly reality when it breaks through romantic illusions. But that doesn’t really matter because, also unlike American Romantic comedies, “love” is on the back burner
The movie takes place on the wedding day of Jewish-born, not religious, Adrián Hershell and Catholic-born, not that religious, Leonora Bellami. Aided by his lovable sidekick (Martín Piroyansky), the groom spends the entire movie trying to postpone the wedding ceremony. Not because he doesn’t want to get married (wink*), but because he clumsily looses one (later both) of the sacred wedding rings.
Disaster ensues, chaos reigns.
An action-packed 90-minutes unveils religious and personality tensions between families, theological musings of a wandering priest and rabbi, a sex/drugs/rock-n-roll senile grandparent, and the hidden motives of ex-lovers. Every character has his/her moment of glory.
The dry, personality, and situational humor in this film bears semblance to the humor in Judd Apatow films, now, whether that is a good or bad thing is up to the viewer’s taste and discretion. A vocal few in youtube land feel the movie is “too Hollywood” however,
