When the rogueish but loveable Raif is asked to be his brother Tim's best man at his wedding, he decides the best present for the happy newlyweds would be to catch the entire thing on video. He returns home from abroad to find his brother is no longer the bohemian vagabond that he used to be, and is in fact marrying into a very wealthy family, and the wedding they're about to be part of will be the most outlandish and bizarre that Cheshire has ever seen... Thank the lord Raif has caught it all on tape!

The Wedding Video Audience Reviews

HeadlinesExotic Boring
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Trevor Mcinsley This film serves as an excellent reminder that some people simply do not understand comedy. What dull lives they must lead.When you are criticising the cinematography and acting of a film which is deliberately designed to seem like something shot on a camcorder by an amateur I feel you have just totally missed the point. What were you expecting? Overacting nonsense and wildly exaggerated characters as the stars all via for Oscar nominations? Dramatic sweeping shots of the American plains which last ten minutes and establish nothing more than a willingness to fall asleep? The fact that the three hour yawn fest that was 'There Will Be Blood' can be critically acclaimed whilst a genuinely funny film with a lot of charm and character can be slated is everything that is wrong with film these days. Everything that is wrong with the world frankly.This film is simply fun. It is enjoyable to watch, entertaining and there are some good laughs to be had. The end is even oddly poignant.Why do people always have to delve headfirst into stuff looking for contrived meaning and commentary on modern society? Wait... I should probably read my own review back right?
Jackson Booth-Millard I saw the trailer for this film, I may have misjudged it for looking terrible, but actually it was rated not too badly by most of the critics, and obviously there were some good names in the all British cast, and even if it was going to turn out cheesy I was prepared for that, from director Nigel Cole (Calendar Girls). Basically Raif (Celebrity Juice's Rufus Hound) is a shambolic oaf with an alternative sense of humour, and he has been chosen as best man for the wedding of his brother Tim (Peep Show's Robert Webb) and his girlfriend Saskia (Lucy Punch). His wedding present to them is a wedding video that he is filming himself, along with his fellow cameraman Roger (Matt Berry), so almost the entire film is from his camera's point of view starting from while all the ceremony preparations are going ahead, right up until the wedding day and reception. As everything is getting ready, we see that Tim is marrying into a higher class lifestyle, Saskia has a hideous upper-class grandmother Patricia (Miriam Margolyes) who has particular tastes, and the bride's mother is continuously trying to interfere with the wedding plans and arrangements, while The Wedding Planner Jenna (Green Wing's Michelle Gomez) is a bit bonkers. Raif also finds out that he remembers Saskia as a constantly rebellious and trouble making school girl, and when Tim and her are having small tiffs with each other because of all of the wedding difficulties Raif and her start to spend more time together, talking mostly about her increasing stress. It becomes apparent that as they continually get together Raif and Saskia have unintentionally fallen for each other, and Tim is having his own doubts about the oncoming ceremony as well, and after the hen and stag parties have been and the day finally comes, it is unclear what the conclusion will be. In the end Tim before the wedding asks Saskia if getting married to him is really what she wants, to which she tearfully answer "no", and reaching the altar Raif announces that the ceremony will not go ahead, but then he steps forward and asks the vicar to marry him and Saskia as their feelings are true, and Raif ends his wedding video in a much different but better way than thought before. Also starring Harriet Walter as Alex, Angus Barnett as Reverend Dobbs, Julianne White as Tara Devlin and Felicity Dean as Jacqui. Hound is suitable as the jokey brother of the groom, Webb does his awkward persona well, and the supporting cast members all get their moments to make you laugh as well, I will admit the jokes aren't hilarious but it is relatively good fun, if you imagine The Blair Witch Project (without the scary moments) mixed with Four Weddings and a Funeral that is kind of what this is like, it is a relatively likable romantic comedy. Worth watching!
Zuma Ondeki Just watched The Wedding Video with my wife,She protested "Not another Wedding Movie"!,two hours later she was still laughing with me about this film,it won't win any academy awards or golden globes,characters do not look as though they are acting due to the semi "Doc'o" style of filming however the three main characters consisting of our Bride,Groom and Best Man with special mention of the the Brides mother and Grandmother made this film a laugh a minute,well maybe every two minutes. I don't know why some review's were so harsh,it is what it is,a mad movie about weddings and the loss of control by the "Couple To Be" the typical Mother outdoing her society friends and the Wedding Planner going out of her mind plus the best man (Also the Brother of the Groom)adding to the chaos. I liked the Doco style which reminded me of an Australian film "Kenny" a few years back,the acting was OK and worked well with the dialogue.We did not want our money back after watching this film compared to a lot of the contrived American rubbish on offer in recent time,The English have a great knack for comedy and I give this a 8/10 for laughs.
topbearau Those reviewers that have given this movie more than 3 have seen a different movie than myself. I have never seen worse acting in a movie that actors where paid to be in. A high school movie project has better actors.Direction...none. Cinematography..very bad. Acting..as bad. Story line..a sleeping tablet has less effect.Give this tripe a very wide miss. Total waste of time and money, how it was funded is quite beyond me. If I could give this movie no stars I would.There is absolutely nothing about this movie that is entertaining, or funny. No normal person could sit through this rubbish and come away feeling good. Seriously, it made me angry that films like this still hit the screen.I WANT A REFUND!!
