The on screen relationship between Donald Sutherland and Elliott Gould is classic. This is a very funny film, one of Altman's best!

I love Gould's Marlowe, this is probably the coolest he's ever been! Sterling Hayden & Mark Rydell also do great in supporting roles in what is one of my favourite films ever!

I've got a love hate relationship with Robert Altman films. There is no denying that he was a master film maker but in my opinion he sometimes just didn't know when to stop - or say cut. The Wedding is a great slice of late 70's cinema though, with a great ensemble cast including Carol Burnett, Mia Farrow, Paul Dooley, Pam Dawber (in a great debut I thought) and the wonderful Lillian Gish - it just doesn't flow as well as it should but it does have that certain quirkiness about it that lets you forgive any irreverence. It's certainly not his best work but there is something wonderful about it and I do feel it's been unfairly overlooked.

I found this film quite dull. It?s an odd mix of Renoir?s La règle du jeu and a P.G. Wodehouse book but without being anywhere near as entertaining as either. The cast is amazing but ultimately wasted. Not one of the late, great Altman?s best.
