Will the wedding party be a party or a wedding?Jan 12, 2007
By Charles Eggen
Sione is getting married. He has decided that he does not want his brother Michael, and his three party-boys mates, to attend.
They have nearly ruined every wedding they have attended. But they are given a chance to attend - they must bring real girl-friends,
not party-girls, to the wedding and they have one month to pull it together. This comedy set in Auckland about first generation Samoan
New Zealanders, starts a bit slow, but by the time of the wedding, it gains speed and really becomes the urban romantic comedy it is
meant to be. If you are not Samoan, nor familiar with Samoan New Zealanders, you might not appreciate the inside humour, but
the writing and acting is good enough to make this light-hearted romp a winner for most. Recommended.

 Funny and etnertaining.Feb 28, 2007
By Nicole Ashley
"nicolegail"
This movie is a MUST watch for anyone who has any experience with the Samoan culture. It's not a complete look at Samoan life, but it's a fun comedy with Samoan flare. It leaves you reminiscent for the islands, even though the film takes place in New Zealand.
The original name of this movie is Sione's Wedding, but the name was changed for US release. The basic plot synopsis is that four best friends are banned from Sione's wedding because of all the trouble they cause at any public event they attend. Sione is the brother of Michael, one of the main characters and former best man. The men come to the conclusion that the reason they always misbehave is because they hang out with each other and never bring dates. They make a deal to be allowed at the wedding IF they can find real girlfriends to bring, not just girls stupid enough to say yes to free food and a night out on the town.
Even if you thought "Samoa" was a war-torn country in Africa (it's not), this is a movie that anyone who likes to laugh will enjoy. Of course there are a lot of jokes made even funnier if you if you have ever lived in Samoa or been around Samoans.
Derek: T, sup girl. Sole, malo man.
Albert: Who you calling "sole"?
Derek: Hound dog in the fale.
Albert: Derek start speaking your own language, you come from Glenfield.

Sione's WeddingMar 20, 2007
By TruBlu
This movie is hilarious! Well worth seeing... only, I saw this in theaters while in New Zealand. And it could just be nostalgia, but I must say that the US release screwed things up by re-naming it Samoan Wedding.
It rather stereotypes Samoan culture and doesn't represent the movie well at all! Considering Sione's Wedding is more about the antics of 4 Auckland guys who try to get on Sione's guest list... and not Samoan culture. The actors are perfect, as well. They are really funny and have the timing down pat. If you've ever seen BroTown (a cartoon from New Zealand similar to South Park but not as brash) then you'll know what kind of humor I'm talking about.
Overall, great movie! But PLEASE call it Sione's Wedding!!

Cutely entertaining, but probably need to be into polynesian culture to enjoyFeb 08, 2010
By The Tao of Netflix
I really enjoyed this film, and discovered I did really after a few watchings. I have to admit and preface though, I'm completely fascinated by all things Polynesia, including the various cultures. If you don't share this interest, you might not enjoy. In short, the movie tells the story of 4 Samoan guys (living in New Zealand) who are part of a large, yet intensely tight Samoan community. These 4 guys are playful, yet ignorant to the effect their antics have on their families, which leads to them being banned (by the community elder/priest) from attending any future weddings. The rest of the movie revolves around them trying be good, find girlfriends and thereby regain permission.
If I weren't so interested in all things Polynesia, I'd probably say the acting and story are subpar. In actuality, they are, but in my experience, one element that a viewer finds intriguing can be enough to turn a would-be failure into a personal favorite. Not sure this is a would-be failure, but its certainly not an outstanding movie. Nonetheless, there are some very funny moments and some actually heart touching ones as well, all done within Samoan culture. If any of this sounds appealing, you might like.

The male answer to the chick flick with comedy, hip-hop, and brotherhoodJun 27, 2007
By Audri Oneal
I saw this movie at a film festival and I have to say that it's good to finally see a movie from an ethnic male's point of view. The story is about four guys who are into hip-hop, women, and hanging with the fellas. What makes this movie is this look into Samoan-New Zealand culture and how males in that culture deal with the pressures from mainstream society and their own community on issues of dating, sex, commitment, etc. The only time we get to see something like this is in U.S. movies like "The Wood", "Hanging with the Homeboys", most recently "Better Luck Tomorrow". So I recommend this movie because it's good to see how other folks around the world deal with the same issues and more than anything it's good to see a movie with an all ethnic cast that has a positive message. Plus if you were thinking about a place to travel, you want to go to Auckland after watching this movie.
