"My Big Gay Wedding" --- only the box office is so grand

"My Big Gay Wedding" is the first time in several years that I have questioned whether the box office of a movie can tell the truth. Generally speaking, even if it does not reach the artistic level, a good box office movie is basically entertaining. Both are strong. I’ve never seen a movie with an easy box office of over 100 million, but it’s so boring in itself. It’s shameful to be a joke, and even the low-level and nonsensical episodes have to be repeated two or three times. For example, the Japanese priest’s accent English, and Chuck’s accent like Larry’s wife. catch up. Away from the shit and piss of the usual Hollywood comedies, this kind of light comedy that celebrates warmth has no joy, only lightness. It is light enough to highlight the key points in the center, and it is also light and lacking in strength. It seems that the director's technique is deliberate and clumsy. Especially the part of the fire chief's generous statement in the courtroom, it is easy to remind me of Al Pacino's last passionate speech in "Scent of a Woman", but the latter makes my heart beat, the former only makes my stomach sour.
This film also tries to catch the sensitive "broken back" ride, but there is no low-level ridicule and lack of self-proclaimed humanistic care. What's even more ridiculous is that at the end of the film, all the people's emotions are high for this pair of "broken backs", while in front of the screen, I can't digest the bad jokes, so I can only stare at their self-entertainment. , In fact, from this point of view, I am more inclined to regard the play as a ridiculous comedy.
As the saying goes, "No matter how bad a person is, he has a good side." No matter how bad a movie is, there is also its wonderfulness. For example, the part in which Chuck and Larry exchange their feelings in court. Although the technique is not new, it still has its touching moment. . Then there is the fact that the film uncovers the more handsome side of Adam Sandler, and I have always regarded him as a "bad" brother!
