Review
Two Weddings And a Funeral is just the movie to enjoy if you like comedy and to have a sober plot/theme. The film held my attention from beginning to end. It shows to the western audience what the LGBT+ community sometimes has to do to satisfied their parents or get them off their backs about getting married. It shows how the LGBT+ community comes together as a family. I like how it had characters from both the gay and lesbian sides were acing as a family. I believe, like most of the time, when you have any movie with the LGBT+ community in it, they focus on one letter. But that doesn’t mean we got a lot of screen time from the lesbian couple; the main focus was the central gay couple. It still makes me smile to think about how the couple that got married acted more playful and cared with each other. The cast was wondrous with showing the emotions that the audience needs to feel. I will say that the actors/actresses weren’t the best at some moments, but they still got feelings for the scene. This film had several important messages throughout the whole thing. One of the biggest ones was that you couldn’t run away from your problems and face them. How they played out the main characters facing their issues of being outing was realist, sometimes something terrible has to happen to give you that push to make you suck it up and face it no matter the effects it will have on your life and others. The other theme or lesson based on the famous saying if you love someone, set them free. If they come back, they’re yours. The saying showed wholesomely once you understand where the character is coming from because of their past. The film is just something you can watch and learn from to apply to your life. Would you watch it again? I think most likely, yeah, because it made me laugh and smile most of the time. It just gave me that feeling of longing for a comfortable place to belong. Also, the ending is the best; it what I think how some straight people think a gay wedding goes. 2 out of 5 stars
