 An insult to Poles and Catholics February 2, 2009

Practicing Catholics in general and people of Polish descent in particular will certainly be offended if they purchase and view this awful, pointless film.
To cite just one example, the scene where the parishioners all kneel down in homage to "Hala", while an hysterically bug-eyed young priest is violently trying to remove her from the ceremony is perplexing to the point of being downright bizarre (and I do mean bizarre), and betrays a total lack of knowledge and understanding of Polish or Catholic or Marian devotional practices.
And I feel sorry for the good folks of Hamtramck for being duped into participating as extras and helping to provide location shots, just because they were told the title of the film was to be "Polish Wedding".
Run, don't walk, away from this insulting film.
POLISH wedding..? Hogwash! December 30, 2008

Well, the movie is fun enough. But if one expects to see anything even remotly Polish in way of religious rites, traditions, customs or community wise, you will be completly disappointed. It's all a happy amateur's fantasy. The research is non-existing. Not even the "traditional" folklore dress of some of the actors in the movie comes close to something remotly Polish. A complete fantasy. The movie is just another cheap hogwash of German-american prejudices against Americans of Polish descent. Call it anything BUT a POLISH wedding.

I love this movie, though it doesn't seem to have the mass appeal. Plus it was filmed in my area. Great performances by Danes, Byrne & Olin.

A good laugh. This movie describes the ethnic input into American society very well and we can all have a laugh at the Pole's expense. God help us if our daughters ever get into a mess like this. Enjoy.
