Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

My girlfriend (she is Polish) and I were very curious about this title. Soon we realised that it was very strange the way the director approached the all Polish culture, I mean he based the movie on stereotypes. We think this director should apologies to all the Polish nation.. He should have at least worked a bit better on the accents...it sounded like an Italian-Russian-Hungarian mix rather than Polish. It give really the idea that Polish people are silly and leaving in low expectations, whereas is not like that at all..I have watched thousand and thousands of movies due to the nature of my job, and cant remember a worst film than this one!Maybe one day it will become a classic as "the best badly made comedy"

Polish Wedding movie was not funny at all and was made by someone who knows nothing about Poles, their traditions, passion, kind of music they like, clothes and customs.I suggest before make the movie about some nation make some study, read history and work with people that come from this country. Even the fact that no polish actors were part of this movie means something. And how come the music sound kind of Greek or gypsy? It had nothing to do with Chopin or other polish composers or polish folk music.This movie could be about Americans, Mexicans, Bulgarians, Canadians or Russians. Nobody would notice a difference. The only polish things there was Polish Eagle (symbol of Poland) and pickles. The director and others should sometimes read a little bit about the nation before they make a movie. Greek Fat wedding was made by someone who was much closer to Greek culture and it was much better movie and it was funny.Where did they get the idea of this polish patriotic uniform clothes? This clothes look more like German NAZI prison camp police clothes than Polish.Very bad movie, very bad director....BAD JOB and waste of money and time......The only good thing in this movie was that actors and actresses were good looking which is close to the truth about Poles.Good Luck in the future and if you need help when making the movie about Poles please contact me and I will be happy to guide you.Cheers! Marek Proud to be POLISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I watched this movie last night, after finding it in the bargain bin of a video store. I am so glad I only paid $2 for it! I thought a movie with Gabriel Byrne and Claire Danes would be of a higher quality. This movie made no sense, and after watching it, I decided it was a total waste of time. The film takes place in Michigan, and involves a Polish American family. I didn't feel that the movie had much of a plot, and the dialog didn't seem realistic. On the box it said it was "hysterically funny", but I barely laughed at all! If you want to see Gabriel Byrne in a high quality film, I would recommend "Miller's Crossing". He is a fine actor, and "Miller's Crossing" is worthy of his abilities. I would definitely skip "Polish Wedding"!

This movie is highly entertaining with unpredictable, character-driven, plot twists that pull you in like the smell of comfort food cooking in the kitchen. The story itself is a grand view into the mundane working world of fighting, resentments, loyalty and ultimate forgiveness, of a large Polish family all living together in the same house.Mother and daughter are powerful and attractive and the men alternately ignore them, wait for them, and chase after them. The matriarch of the family is romantically unfulfilled but finds meaning and purpose in the context of her family and children. The daughter is growing into adulthood and recognizing her feminine power in the context of a budding relationship but, like her mother before her, ultimately trapped. The members of this emotional but practical Polish immigrant family don't live life, life lives them. The characters and performances make this movie well worth watching.
