Another happy day- a movie

And here we have another movie which I had the luck to watch. A family comes together for a wedding. The ex- wife and the new girlfriend of the ex crashes together. Thought the new Girlfriend is in her thirties and lives already quite a long time with the ex together. Played by the wonderful Ellen Barkin and Demi Moore. Both have a very good acting in this movie and the fight they have are funny and dramatic in the same time, cos Barkin plays a women who has a family full of problems. Non of them is normal and so they have to deal with diseases other people never have to think about it and Ellen Barkin is playing hard to give you the feeling of how much she is a mother who cares for all her children, cos one is living with the ex and this one is also the one who wants to marry. 
The Problem with the movie is, that you expect a comedy while you read the name of it but it is a drama. A big one. A very crazy one and not everyones cup of tea. You'll like the movie or not. For me the filmmaker put too many crazy people in it and too many tragedy and diseases and those where just shown in cliche. That made me a bit angry and all the crying Ellen Barkin has to show was annoying too.  Also the figures are much to often like cartoons and could have needed more substance. 
Technically the film is good work and light and costume and the storytelling is just good work, but it never came out to be more. 

Although it is hard to like a film when you where expecting a total different movie. Maybe they should think about the name again and then people will like it more cos as much as I am flexible I am one of those who did not really like the movie at the end. This is sad in a way, cos I really liked watching Ellen and Demi in this movie. 
So try it if you want and take the risk.
