Movie

A Wedding

1978 · 125 min

A crowded, overlapping swirl of chatter and quiet disasters that rewards close listening and leaves a wry, sour aftertaste.

Directed by: Robert Altman
Genres: Comedy
Starring: Desi Arnaz Jr., Carol Burnett, Geraldine Chaplin

Tagline: More than one Family Secret hides behind A Wedding
Overview: Muffin's wedding to Dino Corelli is to be a big affair. Except the ageing priest isn't too sure of the ceremony, only the families actually turn up as the Corelli Italian connection is suspect, security guards watch the gifts rather over-zealously, and Dino's grandma expires in bed just as the reception starts. Could be quite an occasion.
