Destination Wedding
— The title calls up images of Lifetime and Hallmark movies and that’s not at all what this is. Well, not exactly. It may get to a similar place but with a little better acting—at least on Winona Ryder’s part—a lot better script and and a whole lot more dialog. In fact, there’s so much dialog that it’s sure to turn off some viewers. Reeves and Ryder have good chemistry, but one of them is talking, and talking quickly, during most of the film. It’s clever, sometimes funny, often sarcastic talk that I liked, with a destination wedding in the background. In fact the wedding itself is of little consequence except for the links of a few participants to Reeves’ and Ryder’s characters. I thought this was a sharp and entertaining romcom diversion, but I recognize it’s not for everyone. [Netflix Streaming.]
[2018. 90 min. Written and directed by Victor Levin. Starring Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder.]
