These days with all the different outlets available to watch movies, you have to make the decision if a movie if worth buying or better as a rental. Well we here at GG are letting you know what you should do about watching “Our Family Wedding.”

“Our Family Wedding” is a romantic-comedy about a young couple, a Latina woman and an African American man. The couple feels pressured to inform both sets of parents about their relationship and plans for marriage, and the fathers do not take the union well. The dads clash throughout the movie, bringing to light some of the issues and situations many face when involved in an interracial relationship.

So the question remains, buy or rent? This movie is definitely a buy, and here’s a few reasons why…

The Power of the Message– The message of this movie shows us that we must put aside our prejudices and pre-conceived notions of people because we may be surprised when we blind ourselves to race and culture of how great people are. Love can exist regardless of race or cultural backgrounds, and “Our Family Wedding” makes this idea clear.

The Non-Stop Laughs– “Our Family Wedding” is full of laughs. The way the plot carries out with the two fathers brings some comedic relief to a usually more controversial topic. The movie uses details specific to both cultures to show us how silly it can become when people get carried away with the idea that you must marry into your same culture or it may not work.

Good Movie Whenever– This is the kind of movie you want added to your collection. Romantic-comedies do not typically attract a broad array of people, but this movie definitely does. It attracts a young audience through the main couple, as well as an older audience through the tribulations of the parents’ relationships. Ladies can be attracted to the romanticism, oh and Lance Gross! And men can enjoy the comedy, and can even relate to a few of the male characters, and I’m sure they wouldn’t mind seeing the beautiful America Ferrera. No matter what crazy combination of people you have just hanging out at home, this movie can be enjoyed by anyone and gives a good fix for laughter and love.

The movie went on sale July 13, so run out and grab this movie, pop some popcorn, lounge on the couch, and enjoy!
