(Mother of the Bride is about a mother whose daughter reconnects to invite her to her wedding in Thailand, only to find out that her new son-in-law is the son of her old college flame)
This is one of those instances where imo the situation of how I ended up watching this movie is more interesting than the movie itself: I had read online about how people's growing suspicions that the script of this movie felt AI-generated a couple days…
Rewatched the first half of this at a club in Belltown on mute since it was playing on a TV near the dance floor, I kinda ended up just studying early Wes Anderson's blocking (note: this is not me being a pick me and saying I'm So Cool For Doing This At The Club, i've just got that neurodivergent dawg in me)

Was on my radar for a while, and decided to watch it the night before my first LL concert delayed viewing.
