Jasonlrdg4 "Grown-Ups 2" premiered in theaters yesterday, but rather than encounter the usual adolescent and perhaps redundant slapstick in a movie about a reunion with old friends, I watched "The Wedding Weekend" last night, which was originally titled "Shut Up and Sing", but was changed because that names was the name of a documentary by the Dixie Chicks or something.Anyway, for those who watch the Law & Order franchise, the guys should be immediately recognizable to viewers. Mark Feuerstein of USA's "Royal Pains", should catch the viewers' eyes immediate despite the fact though his screen time is less present than the movie who's on USA's "Royal Pains". Molly Shannon is absolute funny as one of the guy's wives, uncensored, unapologetic and frustrated about her life with her husband.I also have to admit that I like the guys' a Capella singing in the movie. It was very cool and crisp. They must have had a lot of practice when they were rehearsing for this film and also the guys must have had a great deal of background in theater because they all have great singing voices.At the same level, the acting performances were really great. It is very rare that an independent film can achieve this level of quality. I would take this movie over "Grown-Ups 2" any day of the week.

provgirl I saw this movie at the Rhode Island Film Festival a few weeks ago and absolutely loved it. If you like to laugh, enjoy good music, a good story line and some honest emotion then you will love it too. I met Bruce Leddy, the director, and he is a wonderful, humble guy. The film won the audience choice award, which was no surprise as it received a lengthy standing ovation. The audience was clearly on a high after seeing this film and gave a lot of positive feedback. Hopefully it gets the recognition it deserves and will be shown in theaters. It's a movie that anyone can see.I've paid $10 to see a lot of movies in theaters that don't hold a candle to this one.

rjcarlson This film hits me on all levels. I really enjoy films with good music and this certainly has that element. The acapella songs makes it unique. Acting was good and the casting was very good. I was in a multi-generational audience and everyone was having a good time. And finally, there are a few twists that keep things interesting. I think everyone who sees this will come away with someone in the film they identify with and someone they would like to be. I liked it better than many of the latest Hollywood releases that follow a very predictable script. Fresh faces! Better than "Sideways" in many respects. I could see my buddies in several of the characters.

dottmartin This past week in Aspen, Co. I happened to select "Shut Up and Sing" as one of my Independent film choices at the HBO Comedy Festival. I have been attending the comedy festival for the past five years and I can absolutely say this is the best movie that I have seen that has been presented at the festival. "Shut Up and Sing" also received the "Audience Award" for best movie.I loved the humor , the characters were full and believable and very well acted. "Shut Up and Sing" reminded me of "The Big Chill". Only funnier and more current. The music was wonderful as well. The selection of songs that the group sang were good and fit in well with the overall theme. Their voices were well matched, strong and lively. I am still humming the opening song which is stuck in my head.I never see a movie twice, maybe that's just being part of the Baby Boom generation, never enough time. But I did see "Shut Up And Sing" twice. (I had a Best Audience award ticket). The movie was as enjoyable the second time as the first. People were leaving the theater singing and with big smiles on their faces.I was so excited about this film that I have told all my friends how good this movie is and we are all awaiting the finished product!
