"Our marriage, their wedding." It's lesson number one for any newly engaged couple.
Any wedding has chaotic moments, some happen before the wedding, some happen during the preparations and some just become the showstopper of a wedding. When a couple gets engaged – there’s often someone eager to TAKEOVER anything that has to do with the wedding. If the parents and overbearing extended family is still alive – the wedding will have niks to do with what the couple wants or dreams of, unless it is a second marriage or an old couple getting married.
Marcus (Lance Gross) and Lucia (America Ferrera) are finally gonna come clean to their family about their relationship, their joint lives, careers, plans and engagement. Their families are so different that it will be a challenge to just come clean and have the small wedding they would like.
The happy couple
The young couple’s families also have to face their own issues with their own relationships, dreams and lifestyles whilst coming to terms with the choices that Lucia and Marcus are making. AND hopefully resolve any of them before the wedding happens or NOT.
As the director Rick Famuyiwa gives a beautiful synopsis about weddings.
“What’s beautiful about them in general is that you’re surrounded by people who are strangers, and then after ‘I do,’ they’re family.” The movie is just about the strangeness of the strangers before, during and after the “I do”. 
The happy fathers
Even with the big names, this movie just had something missing; SOME element of surprise, or something to get the audience excited. It was just an ok movie. SO it gets a 2 out of 5 from me – AND THIS IS just because Taye Diggs, Regina King, Forest Whitaker and Carlos Mencia are in the movie and it is a “black” movie.
The movie starts showing at Nu-metro theatres on the 30 July 2010
