This film is not funny, it is not entertaining. It is not at all enjoyable. The movie is just dull and boring, The movie is senseless, and an insult to anyone of Polish Heritage as well as everyone who expected to see a decent movie. It makes no sense at all and rambles on and on insulting Poles and then it finally ends. When it ended I thought to myself, that was it? At last its over, but where was the story? None of the characters made any sense at all. There was no intelligence in this film what so ever. One really wonders why it was made. I was totally disappointed by this film, as there many really excellent Polish films that have been made. This is not one of them.

I really couldn't find anything that made this movie seem like it was supposed to be set in late 70's or early 80's as the "goofs" part suggested. The cars in the neighborhood are all probably older vehics from the 80's because it's a working class Detroit neighborhood...not the upper middle class suburbs we're used to viewing in movies. There were no songs, or major fashion diplays that would lead one to think it's from the late 70's. I have never though of the movie as being from anything other than the mid 90's, the same timne it was released. Where I live the police cars are all new (the last few years). Does anyone know why someone thought it was from an earlier decade?

This film is about a Polish family in America who have to deal with many problems, including the wife's affair and the daughter's disgrace."Polish Wedding" is said to be a comedy, but in fact it is really boring. Throughout the film, women are portrayed to be in power. Lines like "How can women come from men? In fact it's the other way around", or scenes like Hala saying to Schuster "Kiss my feet" or "You can't kiss me unless I say so" are just plain turn off. I am not against feminism, but this film looks more like a feminist propaganda. The scene where Hala and Schuster talk about boldness is meant to be romantic, but turns out to be ridiculous and unwatchable.It lacks suspense to be a thriller. It lacks pace to be a drama. It lacks jokes to be a comedy. It lacks romance to be a date film. Avoid this very bad film!

If 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' was 'Everybody Loves Raymond', then this was 'Married ... with Children'. In the Greek family, the bride was plain and overweight but made herself over, hoping to get a man before her biological clock ran out. In this movie, the bride looked hot even with a minimum of makeup ... though her mom looked like Kathie Lee Gifford and wore enough makeup for a much older profession than cleaning offices. The Greek family ran a restaurant. In this movie, the father worked nights in a bakery but it is never made clear whether he owned it. The Greek wedding was a major production involving hundreds of guests. The Polish wedding ... wasn't. I don't want to give away too much, but weapons were involved. I think they were baseball bats, but I'm not sure. The scene where those were used--that was memorable. I liked the performances of the actors playing the groom's parents, brief though they were.Claire Danes did a wonderful job as the only daughter out of five children. She showed a real talent for sultry behavior, and her evil laugh early in the movie was something worth seeing. Lena Olin delivered an outstanding performance, effectively showing a wide variety of emotions, and her accent was beautiful. Gabriel Byrne had his moments as the father.I had a hard time enjoying the movie, though, except when it was funny. Some of the humor was naughty, but that was okay. It seemed well done. The main problem with the movie was that there were good parts but nothing overall that made them fit together as a whole.It was fun at times, anyway.
