Our Family Wedding - 3 stars out of 5 stars

Wedding movies are a dime a dozen with every mix and match having been done before,then why watch this one?Well for me the cast caught my eye.Ugly Betty TV series star America Ferrera plays a pretty enough Lucia Ramirez and Carlos Mencia as Miguel Ramirez is her father.The groom is a ok Lance Gross as Marcus Boyd and Forest Whitaker as Brad Boyd his father.The rest of the cast is fine but how can Warren Sapp in a bit part as Wendell Boyd be almost invisible ??Remember the mantra,"Your marriage,THEIR wedding"?Well the fathers are the story here not the couple.Mexican vs black is the conflict and its funny enough and not mean although in a out door cafe scene when one member of the grooms family is walking away after biting comments about his hen pecked marriage,one member tells the other to calm down"Your scaring the white folks"It's a decent gag movie and you could see far worse.Oh did I mention the goat on Viagra??Two stars off for we've been there,saw that.Released in 2010 it runs a just right 103 minutes.Trailer URL follows pix and for a wedding flick I didn't like anything enough on the soundtrack to post.
