It doesn't matter whether this modestly amusing film has something to "say"--or not. It offers Cate Blanchett to marvel over. She invests her role with more of her "infinite variety" than it deserves, is wonderfully nuancy, incredibly erotic, and never once lets you wonder what she can possibly want with Richard Roxburgh. Watching her, near film's end, flouncing about half drunkenly in a clingy gown could easily become addictive.
Too bad there are no captions. The language is Aussie and, from time to time, a bit of translation would be helpful.

I noticed in a previous review that the reviewer thought this movie dark and depressing, and Zero of 3 people found this info "useful" .... probably only because those who disagree are the only ones to respond concerning the review's "usefulness." I personally think the review WAS useful, because it gives a point of view that one can think upon before deciding to watch the movie. I decided to watch it, and lo and behold, the jacket that said "The hilarious story of two women and the man who's trapped in the middle," ... Wow, that was WAY OFF the mark. The story isn't hilarious despite a few amusing moments, the story isn't romantic despite some kisses and sexual content, and the story isn't about a man trapped in the middle. One of Guy's last replies to his orphan friend says it all: "The trouble with happiness is, you don't know when you have it, you just remember it. Ask me again in 10 years."
This pretty much sums the story up. He remembered back, the bad and the good of his relationship with Jenny, and he "remembered" being "happy" with her, and was now not so sure if he was happy with his wife. Having no present perception of happiness is a miserable and sad and depressing view of life. So yes, I do agree with the reviewer who called this movie "dark and depressing."

This is NOT a comedy! It made me cry! It really makes you see the reality of why people get married and to whom and that it can just be circumstance and what they think they "should" want. How did Don Henley put it? "What are these voices outside loves' open door makes us throw off our contentment and beg for something more?"
I'm glad I bought it.

The Wedding Party is a gem of a movie - a small film with a lot of heart. Richard Roxburgh is the main character, Guy Jameson, who is getting married to Cate Blanchett. On their wedding night, though, he is reflecting upon his prior live-in relationship with Frances O'Connor, and wondering if he is marrying the wrong woman. Richard Roxburgh is superb and you really get to like Guy, and feel for his dilemma (although I did find myself wondering what he saw in either one). Then again, Richard is great in everything he does, and not too hard on the eyes either! I highly recommend this film, especially the tree-trimming scene (my favourite)!

This film is not what I was expecting. The review on the back of the box describes the film as "Warm and Witty" but I found it to be dark and depressing.
Everyone loves a romantic wedding, but those who are looking for something that is lighthearted and funny would find "Father of the Bride" (I recommend the 1950 version starring Spencer Tracy), "The Wedding Banquet" or "Four Weddings and a Funeral" to be more enjoyable.
