There's nothing wrong with this movie, it was actually pretty cute and entertaining! Sure, it's a bit over the top - but I thought it was rather clever and fun!

Actually Pretty Cute and Funny
So glad I watched
I didn't know what to expect because I'd not heard of it beforehand, but I was pleasantly surprised. I fully resonated with Alicia's character and how she wanted to fully and freely live though she felt she'd missed her prime opportunity. As crazy as it may seem I was hoping that she would have participated in some small way during the beach scene towards the end of the movie, though I don't know how she would have seeing as her brother was there.
Sister of the Groom is a romantic, chaotic, funny, and relatable ride.
More Potential Than Accomplishment
There is a good angle for this plot. The Grooms sister brings her husband to her brother's wedding and has a whole lot of issues. She is failing in her own life, her husband is having problems too. Then when she meets the young chick marrying her brother, things just do not fit. Her strange relatives really put a strange surreal quality on the proceedings.
It does not help that she is turning 40 (must be nice for Silverstone who is actually older than that). Plus she has twins who because the Wedding was rescheduled she does not bring. The quality writing is in the sister and brother's characters who are fully developed. The fault is in the Bride and her family who seem to have been duct taped into the script. At least the bride is a you chick who has some issues that come out.
There are mature issues of sex, lies, and dead relatives that come into play. What gets me is the dead relatives seem to be more alive than the brides family which seems to hang around like deadwood through out the movie.
I suppose it is correct that all the deadwood is having a party at a table during the closing credits of the movie. It would have been better to put some major bloopers here. Why that did not happen is strange, because the movie is not good enough that there were not some good bloopers for the closing.
At least the plot can be followed though the end of the movie is just a ending.
