Love, Weddings & Other Disasters (2020)

Love, Weddings & Other Disasters is the kind of glossy, good-natured romantic comedy that treats love like a crowded dance floor: messy, mismatched, and somehow irresistible when the music hits. Dennis Dugan juggles multiple meet-cutes and second chances with a bright, sitcom-breezy energy, and the real pleasure is watching seasoned charmers like Diane Keaton and Jeremy Irons spar and soften in ways that feel sweeter than the movie’s title suggests. The vibe is light, fizzy, and unabashedly escapist—more about warm feelings and comic collisions than realism—so if you enjoy ensemble rom-coms where everyone’s story threads toward one big, feel-good payoff, it’s an easy date-night pick. It won’t convert rom-com skeptics or anyone allergic to coincidence-heavy plotting, but for viewers who want comfort, chemistry, and wedding-day chaos without the cynicism, it delivers.

Love, Weddings & Other Disasters is clearly aiming for a glossy, old-school ensemble rom-com where a bunch of mismatched lives collide and everyone gets a warm, wedding-day payoff. The problem is it plays like several half-finished movies stitched together, with stale jokes, rushed romances, and sentiment that’s pushed so hard it starts to feel manufactured rather than earned. Even with pros like Diane Keaton and Jeremy Irons doing their best, the writing rarely gives them anything sharp or genuinely funny to land, so the charm you’re hoping for just doesn’t show up consistently. If you like breezy, modern rom-coms with tight chemistry and clever banter, this will likely irritate you—but if you’re extremely forgiving and just want low-stakes background fluff with a few sweet moments, you might tolerate it.
