The Big Wedding (2013)
Directed by Justin Zackham
To the amusement of their adult children and friends, long-divorced couple Don and Ellie Griffin are forced to play the happy couple for the sake of their adopted son's wedding after his ultra conservative Catholic biological mother unexpectedly decides to fly halfway across the world to attend. With all of the wedding guests looking on, the Griffins are hilariously forced to confront their past, present and future - and hopefully avoid killing each other in the process.

What critics say influenced The Big Wedding
And let's get this straight right now: "The Big Wedding" has none of the tough, slice-of-life sting of 2008's " Rachel Getting Married ," nor the feel-good vibes of something akin to 1994's "Four Weddings and a Funeral."
Robin Williams has what amounts to a very odd cameo (reminiscent of Rowan Atkinson's turn as a priest in Four Weddings and a Funeral) and Ana Ayora's skinny dipping scene serves as The Big Wedding's lone highlight.

Where the expectation is something along the lines of “Rachel Getting Married” or “Four Weddings and Funeral,” the actuality is more akin to “American Pie” meets “As Good as it Gets” mixed with a dash of “Just Go with It”.
The dirtiest joke in the entire movie involves Topher Grace getting a handjob during a dinner, which is lifted directly from Wedding Crashers.
When the horny Nuria secretly jerks off Jared at the dinner table, you might get flashbacks to Wedding Crashers.
