Guy (Richard Roxburgh of Mission: Impossible 2 and Oscar & Lucinda) meets Lizzie (Cate Blanchett of Elizabeth and The Talented Mr. Ripley) when a stray cat begins to give birth in his arms. Despite this unlikely beginning, they soon get married--which is when Australian comedy The Wedding Party (also known as Thank God He Met Lizzie) really begins. Faced with married life, Guy looks back on his previous relationship with Jenny (Frances O'Connor of Mansfield Park and Bedazzled), revisiting its highs and its lows--ranging from the couple's first passionate sex in a car to being drugged and robbed on a tour of England--and seeing them in a different light. The movie's humor isn't the raucous slapstick its publicity might lead you to expect; remarkably, the film paints both relationships as complicated and genuine, with surprising human insights. The Wedding Party seems awkward at first, but that's in part because it's not aiming for conventional laughs. There is plenty of humor, but there's a deep melancholy to it as well, and by the end the movie offers a multilayered vision of life. Roxburgh, Blanchett (in her film debut), and O'Connor are all excellent, and the script is sprinkled with sharp wit. --Bret Fetzer --This text refers to the VHS Tape edition.
Description
Guy (Richard Roxburgh) has finally met the perfect woman. Lizzie (Cate Blanchett) is gorgeous, kind, rich and crazy about him. So why can't he stop thinking about his first love, Jenny (Frances O'Connor)? On his wedding day, Guy relives his intoxicating but doomed relationship with Jenny--her outrageous, sexy seduction, their near-fatal vacations and most of all, their making-up moments after the fights. It's enough to make him think he's marrying the wrong woman. For the hopeless romantic in all of us, "The Wedding Party" is a warm and witty look at love, life and commitment--even if you've got cold feet!
