Having seen enough trailers and expecting yet another rom-com centered around yet another potentially disastrous minefield of a wedding, I was actually pleasantly surprised to find that The Big Wedding has a bit of substance to it. Sure, there's the usual plot devices, but there's also some deeper struggles here that make shoving this in a small, tidy box a grave injustice. Various relationships are strained and tenuous, as it is with many families, and the story doesn't shy away from that.
