Film Review: Turn Down the Invitation to ‘The Big Wedding’

CHICAGO – “The Big Wedding” begins with Robert De Niro performing a particular love making maneuver on Susan Sarandon, and is caught in the act by Diane Keaton.

With several Oscar winners and some of the most influential filmmaking of all time, this is an amazing catalog wave. Buy all six.
