Synopsis for ajffrecommends.org
A perfect storm of matrimonial disharmony ensues in <strong>MY FIRST WEDDING</strong>, a fast-paced screwball comedy from Argentine director Ariel Winograd, which lampoons romantic illusions, religious differences and the politics of the proverbial “Big Day.”
A terrified Adrián (Daniel Hendler) and his uptight bride-to-be Leonora (Natalia Oreiro)—a secular Jew and lapsed Catholic—have finally reached their wedding ceremony. Told in flashback, the trouble begins when the groom clumsily loses the wedding rings, setting in motion a series of white lies and increasingly desperate delay tactics that bring out the worst in the betrothed couple. Replete with a cast of eccentric and feuding family members, troublemaking ex-lovers, and the theological musings of a priest and a rabbi who are diverted from the wedding venue, this comedy of errors leads down a path of misunderstanding and disaster.
Sure to leave audiences smiling, <strong>MY FIRST WEDDING</strong> was nominated for four Argentine Academy Awards and is one of that country’s biggest recent box office hits.
