The People We Hate At The Wedding movie review: Clueless comedy offers no laughs
Hindustan TimesThere's always room for a good romantic comedy that plays out in the follow-up to a wedding. The new Prime Video release The People We Hate At The Wedding, directed by Claire Scanlon stays strictly outside that room, stumbling its way through genre tropes to give us a soulless trip with a dysfunctional family, which only turns more animate and annoying with each passing second of its 100 minutes of runtime. Adapted by Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin from the novel of the same name by Grant Ginder, this is yet another addition to the list of clueless romantic comedies revolving around a wedding. The people include Eloise, who is preparing for her lush wedding in England and wants her estranged family members to travel from America. The People We Hate At The Wedding wants to confront the small misunderstandings that build up within our closest relations when we aren't our best selves.
