Polish Wedding (1998)

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

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!

What was that? Veni, vidi and lol! If that was authentic vision of polish family (with some kind of poorly-made Balkan music in background) I have one, fundamental question - where the hell I live?Auhors had no idea about polish culture and society, when they created that horrible movie. If there is even minimal piece of true in this, i'm packing my little, yellow rucksack and beginning journey to find mythical, fromPolishWeddingish Poland. Don't watch it, please, waste of time and braincells! You going to die in never-ending, intellectual pain, if your imagination is fastidious. Use it on your enemies!!!

I watched this movie last night, after finding it in the bargain bin of a video store. I am so glad I only paid $2 for it! I thought a movie with Gabriel Byrne and Claire Danes would be of a higher quality. This movie made no sense, and after watching it, I decided it was a total waste of time. The film takes place in Michigan, and involves a Polish American family. I didn't feel that the movie had much of a plot, and the dialog didn't seem realistic. On the box it said it was "hysterically funny", but I barely laughed at all! If you want to see Gabriel Byrne in a high quality film, I would recommend "Miller's Crossing". He is a fine actor, and "Miller's Crossing" is worthy of his abilities. I would definitely skip "Polish Wedding"!

Most of the other respondents to this movie were Polish (or descended). I am neither. In fact, I'll admit to being of pure German stock. They (Polish people) were understandably offended by this movie. But this movie (a hate movie) goes beyond being offensive to a nationality of people. It attempts to tag morality, Polish people, and Christianity (of the Catholic kind) all as hypocrites. This movie is a propaganda film which people had to pay money to see!!!??? Leni Reifenstahl made better movies fur Der Furher than this one is!!!If you remember hearing Polish jokes as a kid, they weren't funny, and were very insipid, just think of this movie as an attempt to take those jokes and turn them into a movie. Would you pay money for this? I sat through (as in: "endured") this movie to gather information about it when it was ended (thankfully). If you're just looking for entertainment, this movie fails miserably. The only other value this movie could have is its value as a hate film.
