I feel as if lately most of the movies I watch are about special effects, some deep political or health issues, forcibly extraordinary...
This movie reminded me how refreshing it is to watch a simple, relatable story that is well-written, well-filmed, and well-cast.
Though at first glance the movie appears to be about Alice and Ben, this story is about Ben, a man deeply hurt by his parents relationship, longing to find The One, but terrified that if he does not pick the right One he will end up miserable and alone. Brilliantly told through a series of weddings, Ben finally learns what true love - what grown up love - is all about. That is it.
It is simple, it is funny, it is heartfelt, and beautiful.
Perfect? No. But absolutely lovely.
