![]() When Donna (Janney) finds out that Eloise, her daughter from her first marriage (a passionate but unsuccessful relationship with a flighty Frenchman), is getting married, she envisions the event as the perfect setting for her kids to heal wounds opened during childhood and deepened by the death of her second husband. The People We Hate at the Wedding doesn’t stray too far from the formula of our streaming-dominated visual landscape, but a witty screenplay from the Molyneux sisters and strong performances from Janney, Platt and Bell make it reliably diverting. Scanlon’s breezy production is heavy on the laughs but light on the details - a turn from the slow-burn, nostalgia-laden Set It Up. The airy comedy - directed by Claire Scanlon ( Set it Up) and based on the novel by Grant Ginder - chronicles an acerbic family reunion fueled by the fantasies of its emotional matriarch (Allison Janney). The People We Hate at the Wedding is the latest addition to the eclectically stacked genre of holy matrimony films. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Screenwriters: Lizzie Molyneux-Loglin, Wendy Molyneux, Grant Ginder (based on the book by) 18 (Prime Video)Ĭast: Allison Janney, Kristen Bell, Ben Platt, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Karan Soni ![]()
