Our Family Wedding proves that even a convoluted, stupid, clichéd story can have a little bit of potential, but only a little bit. The film starts out with Lucia (America Ferarra) and Marcus (Lance Gross), a perfectly nice and seemingly happy engaged couple. The only problem is Lucia did not tell her uptight dad named Miguel (Carlos Mencia). Miguel, not knowing what he has done, he tows Marcus's dad, Brad (Forest Whitaker) car. When they meet, they automatically start fighting, and that's essentially the film. While the cast is likable, and sometimes brings the film out of it slum, putting the great acting of Forest Whitaker and the recycled jokes of Carlos Mencia is just stupid. While it is funny at a couple of points watching the two fight, it's just tiring. I don't care how much they hate each other, I don't want to see them fight all the movie. The last 30 minutes is an unnecessary make-up, break-up, over long wedding scene. The film got me to laugh a couple times, but I wanted my two hours back. Overall, Our Family Wedding is not worth your time or money because most of it is unfunny and wastes a talented cast, and you won't miss anything if you don't see it, so don't feel too bad if you miss it.
