72 Stunden im Paradies wären wunderbar – wenn diese Hochzeit nicht wäre. Dort treffen Frank und Lindsay erstmals aufeinander. Sie haben vieles gemeinsam: Beide hassen die Braut, auch den Bräutigam, die Hochzeit, sich selber und – was bald klar wird – vor allem den jeweils anderen. Das unerbittliche Unterhaltungsprogramm des mehrtägigen Festes lässt sie immer wieder aufeinanderprallen. Doch unweigerlich steigt mit jedem Streit die gegenseitige Sympathie, die Anziehung zwischen den beiden ist nur schwer zu ignorieren. Und so müssen Frank und Lindsay eine Entscheidung treffen: für die aufkeimende Liebe – oder den gesunden Menschenverstand.Pressezitate:„Destination Wedding“ ist eine hinreißend komische Liebeskomödie, in der Keanu Reeves und Winona Ryder als dysfunktionales Vielleicht-Pärchen brillieren."

Excellent film
A really good film, with marvellous dry wit and humour.

A very clever film
At times genuinely funny, yet also searingly cutting in its commentary on life. The script is so well written for what is, really, a two person monolgue.

Depressingly funny
The film was enjoyable from start to finish

Unusual
I've enjoyed films with both Keaunu Reeves and Wynona Ryder so I thought I would watch this one. And the blurb tells us the wedding is in a beautiful rural location. The film starts in an airport. Grim. Continues in a plane. Grim. Then outside the destination airport then the hotel where these two guests at the wedding are staying So it takes some considerable time before we see the lovey countryside.......And then I realised this film is a two hander No-one else speaks. So it goes on for a few days then they go back to where they came from.

I will never be turned on again
I’m writing this review while watching the movie. That’s how bored I am. I’ve loved Keanu Reeves for a long time, but I think I’ve never found him unsexy as I do during this.The film is just Keanu and Winona talking. Talking at each other. Talking over each other. Endlessly talking. Keanu must have got the script and wondered how he was supposed to memorise all these incomprehensible lines. There’s no other interaction with any other characters. Just the two of them. Talking. You’ve got a huge (!) segment talking about Frank’s (Keanu) penis, which is baletically formed. I kid you not:Lindsay: Would you like to know about you?Frank: No.Lindsay: Yes you would. You're very handsome... And you have a beautiful penis.Frank: I do?Lindsay: Oh come on Frank. Surely people have told you that your entire life.Frank: No.Lindsay: Well it's very nice. It's straight, and you would not believe how epidemic a problem that is. Also it's baletically formed. It's not so big as to ever be a concern, but it's big enough never to be the object of ridicule or scorn. You're in a very sweet spot there.Frank: Are you saying that Keith's penis is not straight?Lindsay: Can you imagine that we would have gone this entire weekend without saying these things to each other?Frank: Balletically formed?Lindsay: That's rightThere’s one of the most unsexy love scenes that I’ve ever seen. They talk constantly during this act of love making, which seems shoehorned into the storyline as there’s no chemistry during Winona and Keanu. And that tie - take it off. If I was to subject a boyfriend to watching this, I feel we would be both so turned off after watching this scene that we would never touch each other again. I was dry afterwards. I feel I will never feel turned on again.What was with the constant unable-ness to open anything? There’s a consistent struggle to open packets of peanuts, chocolate, bottles of wine, car doors and an ongoing discussion about whether an animal they stumbled upon was a mountain lion/puma/raccoon (I joke.)I’m glad I only paid £3 for this dvd, as I would have resented paying anything more than that. It didn’t hold my attention and I would not recommend it. I don’t even thinking drinking alcohol would help make this film more enjoyable.

Brilliant if you like two-person movies
One of the best films I have ever seen since the 'Before' trilogy. I love films that are based on dialogues between two people and it was a well-written, witty film with, of course, an obvious ending but who cares. Full of cynicism and wit. I absolutely loved it.

A waste of two brilliant actors
I nodded off a few times during the film. Just two dull characters talking non-stop. Winona Ryder even managed to look ugly with all that over-the-top depressing mugging.

With out no subtitles.
I love my films, I have enjoyed watching the film and funny humour. The only thing was for me is no subtitles. All my films I have subtitles, sadly nearly 3 year ago. l had a stroke and my speech is much better now but l don’t always register some of lines of the film without subtitles..
