The Big Wedding is a big bunch of DYSFUNCTION

When you throw the names Robert DeNiro, Susan Saradon, Diane Keaton, & Katherine Heigl you hope for great dramatic acting and funny antics.  There are some funny antics in this movie, sure but the extremity of political & religious incorrectness can be offending after 89 minutes. While there are funny points and poignant one, the vast amount of slightly inappropriate jokes, becomes boggling and you wonder did the screen writer have the ability to write a joke that did include some type of dysfunction, race, religon, or sexuality. 

It's become a cliche of sorts to bring together family at a wedding and bind up wounds or let secrets come out.  This movie seems to do it with big names.  This movie is a streamer at best. No need to run out right away unless you are a diehard fan of these actors.   My Big Fat, Greek Wedding, the Best Man and American Wedding  can fill the void. Not the worse but definitely not the best.
