Title: miscast, actors did not fit their roles
Review: This tries to be a comedy and it is if you are able to laugh at an elderly mother (Diane Keaton) spouting filthy language. The plot features a man bringing his fiance home for Christmas to meet the family. The sad part is the people are all middleaged, but behave worse than kids. The groom to be's brother falls in love with the fiance after observing her drunk and dirty dancing. His receding hairline reminds us he is too old for this nonsense. Next the groom to be falls in love with his fiance's sister. One wonders why he is smitten as the sister is masculine enough to compete in Roller Derby. And how many comedies end with mommy dying of cancer? As for political correctness the producers covered all their bases with one actor who is gay, handicapped and black. Appealing scenery, costumes, background music and good acting are absent. This is a movie I consider pathetic.
Is the review positive or negative?
