Rated
R; 93 minutes; 1990
Alan Alda wrote and directed this
light-hearted look at one of America's most treasured traditions - the overdone
wedding. Alda plays Eddie Hopper, who is over-extended financially and
over-invested emotionally in the planning of the upcoming event. Friends and
relatives Madeline Kahn, Joey Bishop, Burt Young, Ally Sheedy, and Molly
Ringwald as 'Betsy' are all pushing for their own favorite traditions and
rituals until the special event becomes a wedding none of them or you will ever
forget.
