OUR FAMILY WEDDING (2010)
SYNOPSIS
"Our marriage, their wedding." It's lesson number one
for any newly engaged couple, and Lucia (America
Ferrera) and Marcus (Lance Gross) are no exception.
In Fox Searchlight Pictures' OUR FAMILY WEDDING,
they learn the hard way that the path to saying "I do"
can be rife with familial strife. When they return from
college and too suddenly announce their marriage
plans, they soon discover that their fathers - two highly
competitive over-the-top egos - can wreak a major
amount of havoc on their special day.
With insults flying and tempers running high, it's
anyone's guess if the alpha dads (Forest Whitaker and
Carlos Mencia) will survive to make it down the aisle in
one piece. Lucia's mother (Diana Maria Riva) is busy
planning the wedding of "her" dreams and the only
levelheaded one in the bunch is Angela (Regina King),
the groom's father's best friend and lawyer, who
manages to keep her cool when the madness reaches
a crescendo.
With only weeks to plan their wedding, Lucia and
Marcus soon discover the true meaning of love and
find there is truth to the saying - that when you marry
someone, you marry their entire family.
