"Samoan Wedding" is a film that will probably appeal to the same audience as "Hot Tub Time Machine" and "Bachelor Party". In other words, if you like watching a group of idiots acting like idiots, then the film is certainly for you. But, if you are like me, and you DON'T like these sort of films, then after a short time it will all become very tiresome.
The film begins with an intervention. All the friends, family and the preacher all confront four very immature 30 year-old men. They are told they cannot attend the upcoming wedding of one of the four guy's younger brother--for reasons the audience is shown. Each has managed to ruin someone's wedding--all because of boorish and immature behaviors. This is BY FAR the best part of the film and the preacher is quite funny. Because of this great setup, I THOUGHT the film would be a lot of fun. Nope. After a very promising start, the film just goes no where. Why? Because of two main reasons. First, you just don't care about the characters--they are clueless jerks. Second, the writing just isn't very good and for a comedy, it just isn't very funny. Maybe you will like it--I just felt it was tedious and wasted a cute premise.
