Drunk Wedding

"Drunk Wedding" is a hilarious romantic comedy film that was released in 2015. The film stars Christian Cooke, Victoria Gold, and Dan Gill in stellar roles. Cooke plays John, a likable regular guy who is about to make the one decision that will change his life forever; he's getting married. Victoria Gold stars as Elissa, a free-spirited bride-to-be who is ready to break away from her mundane life and take a leap of faith into marital bliss alongside John. Dan Gill is featured as Phil, a character with an irreverent demeanor and a knack for drawing both laughter and cringe-worthy moments, to complete the trio.

In the film, we follow John and Elissa as they plan to tie the knot in a beautiful destination wedding in Colombia. The couple hopes for a peaceful wedding with their closest friends and family, but the event quickly escalifies into a wild and unforgettable adventure when some members of the wedding party decide to document the event in their own unconventional ways.

The film weaves a tale of friendship, love, and the pure insanity that can ensue when attempts to balance carefree spirit with the solemn occasion of matrimony. The bride and groom invite friends to share in their special day, and as the saying goes "what happens in Colombia, stays in Colombia". As the wedding guests pour into this exotic location, ostensibly to celebrate the love between John and Elissa, conversations and situations take unexpected turns powered by liberal doses of alcohol.

One of the unique elements of "Drunk Wedding" is its style of storytelling via footage shot faux-documentary style. This method gives the film an edgy and spontaneous vibe and provides a refreshing departure from typical romance comedies. The film doesn't shy away from pushing the envelope and the humor is unfiltered and raw.

Christian Cooke does an excellent job portraying John, sparkling with charm and exuding an almost palpable energy of both excitement and apprehension at the impending leap in his life. Victoria Gold, as Elissa, is represented as the fun-loving, yet practical, counterpart to John as they face the whirlwind of their upcoming nuptials. Dan Gill, playing the rambunctious character of Phil, delivers a performance that is both effortlessly comical and cringe-inducing characteristic in scenes that are filled with wild antics.

The film is as much about the wedding as it is about the dynamics of the friendships that surround this couple. It portrays how people in their late twenties and early thirties grapple with the concept of marriage and the pressures that come along with it. This film is about more than just an unforgettable night; it's about growing up, facing responsibilities, and trying to maintain friendships as life takes everyone in different directions.

For those fond of comedies that toe the line between the hilarious and the outrageous, "Drunk Wedding" is perfect. Aside from the laughs, the movie is rich in its characters and their interactions. We are introduced to a cast that you grow to know and love, each with their unique quirks and eccentricities. It has an amusing sense of unpredictability, bringing the viewer into the adventurous and chaotic spirit of the wedding party.

Exotic locations serve as the stunning backdrop to the unfolding madness, adding another layer of interest to the film. Director Niсk Weiss beautifully captures the picturesque Colombia, creating a visually appealing film and using the location to enhance the story's vibrancy.

"Drunk Wedding" stands apart thanks to its genuine performances by the actors, its unassuming yet captivating storyline, and the manner in which it embraces its captivating, raunchy humor. This film's comedic mayhem might not be for everyone, but for those who appreciate the mishaps, the adventures, and the humor in life's everyday chaos, "Drunk Wedding" serves as an entertaining journey about friends, life changes and the bonds that keep them stuck together.
