“Our Family Wedding” includes a scene in which a goat overdoses on Viagra, and attacks (if that is the right word) Forest Whitaker. This is the kind of humor one can expect when watching this movie. Forest Whitaker is an Oscar winning actor and it is sad to see him in a film which, although funny here and there, relies on cheap humor in spots for its laughs.
The premise is that an Hispanic girl named Lucia (America Ferrera) becomes engaged to Marcus (Lance Gross), an African-American. The running joke is the dads (Forest Whitaker and Carlos Mencia) who have their own ideas on how the wedding should go, and the lesson the couple learns is that they are not only marrying each other, but the families on both sides as well.
Although there is a nice theme of true love prevailing no matter what, the strong language and sexual comments in addition to pre-marital sex, prevents us from awarding our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal to this movie.
