Talk about contrived? Yikes! "Eloise" (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) makes the cardinal error of inviting her estranged and dysfunctional family to London for her posh wedding. Her brother "Paul" (Ben Platt) and his boyfriend "Dominic" (Karan Soni); her unpredictable and unreliable sister "Alice" (Kristen Bell) who is having an affair with her married, architect, boss and finally her mother "Donna" (Allison Janney). It seems that they all pretty much loathe each other in equal measure, but they all decide to attend and in so doing "Alice" hooks up with the handsome "Dennis" (Dustin Milligan - probably the only decent person in the whole thing) with the others going through the usual relationship tribulations that, aside from a fun scene in a Thames-side inflatable champagne dinghy - rarely raise even the faintest hint of a smile. What Miss Janney is doing in this is anyone's guess, and without a song to sing I am afraid that Platt is just, well flat! I think the trick with good comedy is having characters that we can at least like. I struggled here with all of them before the ending that could have been seen by a blind man from outer space. The soundtrack is quite good now and again, but otherwise the writing and direction offer us nothing at all new here and it almost left me wishing for Henry Golding's equally lacklustre Christmas effort from 2019!

About as amusing as contracting the Black Death

It's really really badly written and not funny. Also incredibly stereotypical of England, bloody awful.

The acting sucks, the story is unbelievably predictable and just trash. The accents are awful and not like real life in the slightest, downtown abbey if it was written as a really bawdy comedy

Wow we have written something daring because we curse a bit, and that passes for funny.

Words cannot contain how bloody awful this film is. Oh and Alison Janney as a mum who just loves taking pot...dear god

It's incredibly to write this review in 600 characters

It sucks... that's it.

I very very rarely look at the rating and/or read the comments while I'm watching the movie, but, I did with this movie, The People We Hate at the Wedding. And, I'm still watching it. There is NO redeeming quality of this movie. I thought with Kristen Bell and Allison Janney, this would be a hoot, and there were some funny scenes but those are rare and far between and are overpowered by the nonsense that is The People We Hate at the Wedding. I guess at the end there will be a Life Lesson...oh yea, I turned it off. I won't get the chance to see the life lesson because I gave up on it and fortunately I didn't pay anything for it.

Oh yea, I'm changing my rating. I initially gave it a 2, changing it to a 1 now.
