Offbeat fashion student Betsy Hopper and her straight-laced investment-banker fiancé Jake Lovell just want an intimate little wedding reception, but Betsy's father Eddie, a Long Island construction contractor, feels so threatened by Jake's rich WASP parents that he blows the ceremony up into a bank-breaking showpiece, sending his wife Lola into a financial panic. Pressure from Betsy's extended family to include their joint Jewish and Italian-Catholic heritage in the ceremony does little to assuage her worries, and then there's her older sister Connie; their parents assume she's still single because she has the audacity to pursue the unfeminine profession of police officer. With all of his funds tied up in the money pit of a house he's building, Betsy's dad must turn to his crooked brother-in-law Oscar for financial assistance, and soon a soft-spoken but menacing young mobster named Stevie Dee is supervising Eddie's construction project and casting his romantic aspirations toward the clueless Connie.
Leave your thoughts about Betsy's Wedding.
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfDoesn't summon much of a reaction at all, leaving the eventual parade of sentimentality D.O.A. I was entertained by Wedding, but never enlivened by it. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrAlda's skill is with witty, fast-talking patter and in coaxing fine performances from his actors (playing an extended family of gently caricatured New York types). The values are bollocks, but the film is fun. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThe film gently sends up the messiness of modern matrimony, and Alda has assembled an appealing group of actors and given them plenty of breathing room. |
| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelAlda's accomplishment is to bring humorous reality to this predictable but charming movie about a young woman named Betsy Hopper (Molly Ringwald), who has been encouraged to lead an independent life by her parents until it comes time for her traditional wedding. |
| Los Angeles TimesSheila BensonThe cast is fine; Alda’s casts invariably are, but this collection has only stick figures to play. |
| Chicago TribuneDave KehrMost of the people who see this will own funnier home videos of wedding disasters. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIt's nice enough, it's sweet, I loved LaPaglia's work, but there's nothing compelling here. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyBetsy's Wedding is white cake and warm bubbly, not an unsuitable marriage, just a tepid one. |
| VarietyVariety StaffFrom a bolt of ordinary cloth Alan Alda fashions a thoroughly engaging matrimonial romp. |
| Empire MagazineWilliam ThomasMost of the people who see this will own funnier home videos of wedding disasters. |
