Destination Wedding*   
(US 2018)          
Sunshine Pictures/Two Camel/The Fyzz Facility. 85m. Panavision

Two reluctant guests travel to the same wedding, and their antipathy towards each other turns into a one-night stand.
Ironically engaging, if relentlessly chatty (even during its love-making scene) romantic comedy, with stars on uncharacteristically comical form. The ultimate outcome is obvious from quite early on, and could just as effectively be done as a play, in sometimes superfluously beautiful scenery. A more cynical variation on Before Sunrise, and patterned also a little after Woody Allen.

Written and Directed by: Victor Levin.
