Movie #2158 ........................."Destination Wedding" (netflix)

 Movie #2158 "Destination Wedding" (netflix)  Now for something completely different...... when I saw that Keanu Reeves was in a rom-com with Winona Ryder, I had to check it out --- didn't expect much at all.  This is kind of funny because it's like they aren't acting -- I kept thinking "What script"?  They are both so, I don't know how to put it, laid back?  smarmy?  pretentious snoots?  The vocabulary is very highbrow ---- their observations are consistently mean and inappropriate --- to each other and wow!  when they attack others..... there's lots of negativity --- yep, that's it --- they are both HUGE NAYESAYERS --- so you can either turn it off, or keep watching to see just how bad it gets, and where it goes from there...........that's what I chose.  Am I the better for it?  I doubt it, but some people will welcome this film because they don't like Hallmark stuff, so this is it!  The Real Stuff!  People without any filter going to a wedding they both don't want to be at --- making snide  comments about this one's personality, or the fatness of another....inappropriate right and left --- I laughed , but it was a laugh like:  I- can't -believe- they -said- that!  kind of laugh.  I'd give it a 3 --- not my kind of love story, but a lot of people's , for sure.
