criteria

guru mumu

guru dudu

initial expectations

(3) The trailers looked funny. I wanted to see if the film, in its entirety, would live up to the hype.

(2) Hmm... there were some funny parts in the trailer, but it just seemed like another, "There's Something About Mary," which I might add, I did not find funny.

pace

(3) The hits and misses unfolded at a decent pace. There was never a long, dull moment.

(5) Wow...it moved like a parody...or a gag a minute, as I like to call 'em...But much more intelligently.

plot/story

(3) Pretty damn funny and entertaining. It's more original than the other wedding-related movies we've seen in the past.

(5) The story was set out to be a comedy, but had its "touching" moments also.

cast/acting

(4) It has a really strong cast. Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro are particularly good.

(5) Great cast. Quirky and funny. Kudos to Stiller and De Niro especially!

good stuff

(3) Low on the sex , medium on the gross humour, and high on the laughs. A good mix!

(2) It's a family comedy! "Family" being the "operative" (err, watch the movie) word here. But it's a good one at that.

overall

(4) This movie is good enough to see at full ticket prices. I liked it!

(5) This movie really surprised me. I loved it a lot! It kicked butt on my initial expectations of waiting for video (a 2 rating)!
