Eve Wilde (Glenn Close) has had only one real great love before Harold (Patrick Stewart), and that was her ex-husband Laurence (John Malkovich). The man whose nepotism put her on the map and is why she is the star she is today. Yet, when they were young, he made for a terrible husband. However, in their old age, he has become an amusing friend at l...
Stories Only Seasoned People Could Tell
Though in the age of diversity it is getting better, you’d still be hard-pressed to find productions featuring those Glenn Close or Patrick Stewart’s age, getting roles like this. Women Glenn Close’s age especially. For while this is more so an ensemble type of movie vs. one focused solely on her, she is one of the handful who we really get to know. And getting to know Eve, alongside Laurence, and to a point, Harold, is the highlight of the film. Especially because their dynamic is something...
The Middle Aged Drama
Just like there is clearly lingering feelings between Eve and her ex, the same goes for Rory and his. Though, for most of the middle-aged people, there is something going on. The only one I think worth noting though is the love triangle between Rory, Priscilla, and Harold’s daughter Clementine.

Which is perhaps...
So No One Is Weirded Out By This Cousin Crush?
I don’t know if it really is common knowledge that Mackenzie and Dylan kissed, but it seems like it might be. Especially since Priscilla, who doesn’t necessarily seem that close to Mackenzie, knows about it. Making it seem like maybe some family members know but avoid the subject. Which I just find weird for even if they are cousins once removed, it just is handled too nonchalantly.
Too Many Underdeveloped Characters
There are around 15 or so characters in The Wilde Weddingand the majority of them we get a quick anecdote about, their name, and that’s it. With Jimmy, we just know he falls in love easily and is the one who harps on Eve getting a prenup. His daughter, Lara? Well, we assume she is queer and likes dancing. And in general, that is how far most of the characters get. One or two things are established about them, alongside their name, and that’s it. Heck, even with Mackenzie, despite her acting a...
I don’t know about you, but I always found it depressing most love stories feature the young or barely middle aged. This seriously became a problem after a recent episode of Black Loveand Viola Davis saying: “[Talking about Golden Girls and Betty White’s character asking Bea Arthur’s what she wants in her next husband] ‘I want someone to grow old w...
