The Samoan Wedding

This past Wednesday I attended one of the Oceana Film Festival Series movies.  This week the movie was the Samoan Wedding.  It was a pretty funny and clever film based in New Zealand.  Its about four friends named Michael, Albert, Stanley, and Sefa.  They are four samoan friends that get crazy when they party each other, which seems to be every night. Even though they are thirty they still act like they are in college. Michael's little brother, Sione, has always been accepted in their group and he is about to get married.  However, since the boys have a bad rep about ruining wedding by being the MVP of the party, they are banned from Sione wedding unless they can all bring a date that is more than just a hookup.  The priest has to believe that the woman they bring are their girlfriend and see the light in the boys.  They all have their struggles trying to find dates.  Each guy goes through their own kind of choas while trying to find a date. Whether its an angry girlfriend, trying to find a right girl even though the right one was right in front of him, talking to a girl who everyone believes is fake, or being such a ladies man that he is scared to commit, every different story has its own ups and downs and is very funny. Through their journey, however, they figure out that they are able to find people they really care about and that they need to calm down become more responsible.  Eventually they all make it to the wedding by the skin of their butt.  I really enjoyed the film. I liked their accents and the way they had their own slang. It was an entertaining film that kept my attention the entire time.  It was a good choice by Dr. Castle.
