Cheerful Weather For The Wedding Premiere!!!
22:05:00
Hello My Lovely's,
At the start of the month I had the biggest shock of my live
when I won a competition to attend a premiere to the film 'Cheerful Weather for
the Wedding' at Empire Cinema in Leicester Square, London. I was other the moon
at the win, as this would be the first premiere that I have ever attended and
to say I was excited would be an understatement (My film studies teacher knew
all about it).
'Cheerful Weather for the Wedding' a 2013 film directed by
Donald Rice, was a brilliant first premiere to attend.
The film starred Felicity Jones, a hot newcomer to the
screen after her last films 'Chalet Girl' and 'Like Crazy'. Jones plays the
character of Dolly Thatcham, a woman who isn't sure what she really wants in
her life especially on the day of her wedding. Jones was brilliant throughout
the film, portraying the awkward bride who was indecisive of who she would
really like to see at the end of her alter. This made the whole audience on the
edge of their seat to see if she would go through with the wedding and the
crazy family party going on downstairs.
The main man who the film focuses on was Luke Treadaway, known
for his roles in the film 'Attack the Block' as the posh snobby kid. Treadaway
portrays the character of Joseph Patten, a desperately in love man. This
portrayal could also be witnessed throughout this film as he looked down on the
crazy family scene he was witnessing in front of him while he waited for the
girl of his dreams. Threadaway's character was one that I became quite annoyed
with throughout as I found that he wouldn't leave the family and the female
lead alone, becoming more and more on edge and annoying as he waits for
something that he is never going to get.
These two leads portrayed a beautiful love story which just
seemed to dream like to be real. However Rice has cleverly presented a film
with many twists and turns that were placed at shocking moments within the end,
including the real reason why Treadaway’s character has returned, ultimately
leading to Dolly's downfall. As well with backing characters such as Dolly's
mother Mrs Thatcham played by 'Downton Abbey's' Elizabeth McGovern and golden
comedian Mackenzie Crook and his hilarious with his wife and son, the film
produced some comedic moments.
Overall the film was a good hearted British film, however it
lacked a lot of originality and became very predicable at certain moments of
the film. I feel it was sad that the film never got a nationwide cinema
release, but somehow I also feel that the film may have been slated a lot if it
had.
I am giving this film .....
3 Stars
Until Next Time,
