This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

This is an unpretentious little film, made on no budget at all by actors who were probably paid pizza and beer for their work. Considering all that, it's surprisingly well realized.The acting is all over the place. Think about your last trip to see a performance when the local community theater did a show in the junior high auditorium. And imagine if the actresses there were willing to work topless.The two leads- Alex and Jenna- were actually very well played. Richard Lynch makes a surprise appearance in Act III as (surprise) a very bad person. The actor playing Jenna's therapist was terrible. The other performances were a mixed lot.Imagine if MEET THE PARENTS had been rewritten for Greg to have to kill off Pam's entire family in order to gain her hand. The plot is completely insane (bonus points) and evens the odds by making the bad guys the product of generations of inbreeding.One of the things that brings this up to eight star level is that it has an actual ENDING. It's done, it's over, and the very few characters left alive can count the events of the disastrous wedding day as being in the past. There's no knowing wink, no door left open for a sequel. The story line is actually tied up in a knot and resolved. That's very rare these days.That's not to say that this is really a polished piece of work. The pacing is sometimes uneven and at one point full daylight becomes darkest night with a huge full moon: there was the strangest feeling at that transition that a big chunk of material got edited out.But WEDDING SLASHERS is a nice, workmanlike tribute to the slasher movies of the 1980's and if you can see it for free (like I did streaming Netflix) that makes it even better.

This movie suffers from an obvious identity problem. Sometimes it tries to be funny and succeeds in being reasonably amusing in a cheerfully lowbrow sort of way. But more often it attempts to be a serious and straightforward slice'n'dice item that just doesn't work because of a plodding pace, uneven tone, extremely variable acting, and tacky gore. Director Carlos Scott, working from a sloppy script by Robert Paul Medrano, crucially fails to build any much needed tension or creepy atmosphere. The cast struggle gamely with the poor material: Jessica Kinney as the troubled Jenna and Ross Kelly as Jenna's sweet fiancé Alex make for appealing leads, Billy Garberina is a raunchy hoot as Alex's rowdy best buddy Tully, and Richard Lynch greatly enlivens the few scenes he's in as Jenna's evil and sinister father. It doesn't help that Jenna's crazed inbred hillbilly family are a bunch of severely underdeveloped one-note redneck stereotypes. Richard Griffin's pedestrian cinematography and Karl Hittorf's generic shivery score are both also below par. 90's direct-to-video movie starlet Maria Ford is sadly wasted in a minor part as a ditsy hick chick. Hell, not even a decent smattering of gratuitous female nudity can alleviate the general tedium of this draggy and uneventful dud. A real clinker.

I never write in these user boards because what I feel is usually summed up by other members or critics so there is little relevatory info to give but this movie was one of the greatest gaps between expectations and results I have ever had.THis movie had three bad things going for it. A) it was direct to DVD horror film. B) it was named after a play on words from a major motion picture which is never a good sign. and C) it looks like it was shot on a home video camera that has been dropped.BUT it works because it does not take itself seriously and is really funny. You can tell the guys behind this film have a great sense of humor. They also drop references to films that lead to a debate about the sex of a ape named Coco. They really had a good time making this and you will have an equally good time watching it. Do yourself a favor and rent this.

I like some horror movies and I'm used to the movies I see in theaters. This is for sure a very low budget movie. My girlfriend had the DVD and told me to lower my expectations and that I would have to meet the movie halfway. And I did. And I would have to say the movie is definitely halfway good. There's not much romance. There's not much of a wedding at all. Everyone is killed before they even get inside the chapel. But I must say that their are some hilarious lines and good scene. I can't say I found it scary, but I wanted to know how it was all going to end. I probably should have had more to drink and I would give it 6 stars, not 5.
