Marriage
9 January 2011
This film reminds me of a song I once wrote. It only had one word as the lyrics and that word was the same as the title, "Marijuana." The word was purposely pronounced incorrectly to sound like "Marriage you wanna?". The idea of the song was to take a swipe at marriage by comparing it to the quick high and long thereafter of a good toke. This film seems to take the same opinion on the subject.

We see the silly celebrations taking place in an attempt at formality. Usually something goes wrong or something embarrassing happens at the time. This leaves a kind of skepticism about the holiness and correctness of marriage. This idea comes out more firmly when the main character asks his love to not marry him under and circumstances. She ironically replies, "I do".

The film has some funny scenes in it, and it was quite watchable. I would recommend it for those that like to relive past experiences at weddings or other social occasions.
