The Drama

A couple who genuinely seem to have it figured out walk into their wedding week, and then something knocks the whole thing sideways. The film keeps its cards close, which is part of the appeal: the setup is engineered so the pleasure comes from watching a carefully planned celebration develop cracks in real time. Wedding-week comedies live or die on the friction between the version of a relationship people perform for guests and the version they have in private, and that gap is clearly where this one intends to work.

It suits viewers who like relationship stories with a sharp edge, where the laughs and the discomfort arrive in the same breath and the tone can turn without warning. Expect a tight, character-driven ride rather than broad farce, with the running time spent on two people rather than a cast of thousands. Anyone drawn to modern romance told honestly, with all the awkwardness left in, will find this a satisfying and quietly nervy watch.
