I never review movies, but this movie got on my nerves so bad, I felt compelled to write about it. You may think me unfair to rate a movie so harshly after only seeing 20 minutes of it, but that was all it took to see that the dialog was horrendous (i.e. pretentious, annoying, irritating and unbelievable.) I wonder if the screenwriter was purposely making the characters douche bags, or if he thought he was making them hip and cool. The acting was not great, but it may, again, be the fault of the script. I would never be friends with people like this, and therefore, had no absolutely no interest in investing myself in their lives for one more minute.

Bruce Leddy tried his best giving the budget to make 'Shut Up And Sing' aka 'The Wedding Weekend'.The problem lies in the plot, Some moments are interesting, but usually bland.A group of guys who sang together in a college a Capella group reunite 15 years later to perform at a friend's wedding and discover how their lives have progressed -- and in some cases regressed -- since their college heyday, an idea that seems dated and the lack of face-value, disappoints all the way.Acting wise: Molly Shannon is the only actor who does her part well, while all the others try hard, though some manage.on the whole 'Shut Up And Sing' isn't what you expect.

I had the opportunity to go to the Gen Art film fest this year, and must say this movie was my favorite. It is like the feel good-movie of year. I love how the movie makes me laugh, while really plucking on my heart strings at the same time. Unlike many recent films, this movie was sincere and did not rely on special effects or political plot lines to keep your attention. My friends and I could not get those modern acappella covers out of our heads. Whether it was John Mayer or Ben Folds or Phil Collins or Frank Sinatra, this movie features songs for every taste. The movie really leaves you with a smile on your face, and for the first time in awhile you are actually entertained. Try to see it and look forward to the soundtrack.

While the movie does have a cappella singing in it, you don't have to be a big fan of that music to appreciate it (although it is really good in the movie). It's really about the pre-midlife crisis that these guys who used to be in an a cappella group are now facing in their mid-30s as they get together again to sing at a wedding. The acting is really solid and there are so many good characters that you're bound to relate to one of them. Molly Shannon shows she can do a lot more than prat falls playing an outspoken wife who is at times hilarious and also very serious. Guys will love Elssa the Swedish nanny that they all dream about in the movie (a very funny sequence) and women will swoon over the Keanu Reeves-like character Spooner. There are so many laugh-out-loud lines in the movie that I want to see it again to catch them all (unfortunately it's not in theaters yet, I saw it at the HBO Comedy Festival). I saw that it is playing at the Gen Arts Film Festival in NYC in April so try to see it there. YOU WILL LOVE THIS MOVIE!
