As a wedding is going to take place, there are all kinds of things to consider. Usually, the bride and the groom have no saying in what is going on; they leave it to the parents to quarrel among themselves because otherwise it gets too complicated.
Gabrielle, the divorced mother of the bride to be, has done most of the preparations. The groom's parents go over the expenses carefully, noticing how expensive the whole thing is going to be. The guests are gathering for what they think is going to be a festive occasion. What no one has prepared for is the revelations about how most of the guests have been sexually involved with one another. This almost derail the wedding, but alas, being this a French comedy, all end's well.
There are some talented people involved in this comedy that could only be done in France because they can only pull this off. Valerie Guignabodet wrote and directed "Mariages" with sure hand. There is a lot going on in this film that is funny and entertaining. Miou Miou plays Gabrielle, the mother of the bride. Mathilde Seigner makes an interesting Valentine. Jean Dujardin has some good moments as Alex. We also enjoyed Antoine Dulery, the wonderful Lio, and Catherine Allegret, daughter of Simone Signoret makes an appearance.
