Wedding Video, The (15)

Comedy

A newly married couple's best man decides to capture their wedding on video and present them with it as a gift.


The critical consensus

Sadly, shrill, obvious and awkwardly wistful win out in the end. For a better Webb/wedding bet, try Confetti or Peep Show’s Season 4 finale.

Not quite Four Weddings-funny but always entertaining and endearing in equal measure. Less so if you're preparing for a wedding.

***(*)(*)Angie Errigo, Empire Online, 13/08/2012

A last act "twist" and some half-hearted sentiment merely add to the feeling that this feels contrived and divorced from reality.

**(*)(*)(*)Rob Carnevale, The Herald, 16/08/2012

Some decent laughs in this very wacky, unpretentious and likable British wedding romcom from director Nigel Cole and screenwriter Tim Firth, who gave us Calendar Girls.

***(*)(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 16/08/2012

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the joining of two genres in one, the middlebrow wedding comedy and the DIY vérité flick. Too bad for anyone who knows of lawful impediment.

It will all slide over painlessly when it turns up on television.

***(*)(*)Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 17/08/2012

The three affable stars make the most of their underwritten roles, and Hound, especially, exhibits some appropriately puppy-doggish charm. But a genuine wedding video would probably be funnier.

Nicholas Barber, The Independent on Sunday, 19/08/2012

It's crude, broad and moderately funny.
