The Big Day

Rating:
Summary: The Big Day is a Big Bore!
Review: The story: when the groom's neurotic brother decides to confess just hours before the social-event-wedding-of-the-year that he had once had an affair with the bride, the groom decides that a joy-ride through the city is what he needs to clear his head. But how long can the bride's mother keep the press and the other wedding guests happy until her run-away future-son-in-law can be found?

Don't be taken in by the calibre of the cast, this little film could replace Melatonin as a sleeping pill. Seldom has a film had such an unbearably slow pacing. You find yourself tapping your foot and saying: come on, get on with it!

Julianna Margulies sits around most of the film looking as bored as I felt, and probably wishing that she was back in the Emergency Room, where there's at least some action. Ivan Sergei, who has actually done some decent work ("The Opposite of Sex", "Playing Mona Lisa", "Jack & Jill" and "Once a Thief"), comes off as brain-dead in this role.

Bottom line: banal comedy, that's not funny. Only for insomniacs!
