Ceremony

What looks like a whimsical indie movie from the outside is really just a miscellany of better indie movies gone by.

Looking to win back his ex-girlfriend, Zoe (Uma Thurman), Sam ends up gate-crashing her wedding weekend. Of course the man she’s about to marry is a pompous prick, which further fuels his determination.

But we’re talking indie here, so thrown into the fray are a host of supposedly quirky characters and unusual encounters. Unfortunately this is no “Rachel Getting Married,” where humour and tragedy are so perfectly balanced. This comes across as a promising but rather immature attempt. That said, however, I didn’t flat-out hate it.

Rating: 2 outta 5.
