Grab the popcorn.

Netflix has served us one fluffy romantic-comedy to satisfy your need for ‘so-bad-it’s-good’ entertainment this Easter long weekend and trust us, they have not disappointed.

In this wedding-less era of self-isolation, the filmLove Wedding Repeatdishes out the bonkers drama we’ve all been so hopelessly deprived of. It’s like witnessing a drunken and disastrous wedding right in your living room. What more could you want?

In a sunny, Italian castle, the film follows Jack as he tries to salvage his sister Hayley’s wedding after a man from her childhood rocks up unattended and declares his undying love for her, threatening to ruin the ceremony altogether.

It basically a delicious cocktail ofWedding CrashersandLove Actually, but happening all in one day and with more… alcohol.

Watch: The trailer for Netflix’s new rom-com Love Wedding Repeat. Post continues below.

There are some profound and utterly discombobulating questions to come from the film, such as why would anyone A) invite their brother’s ex-girlfriend to their wedding, B) also invite her new boyfriend and C) sit them all on the same table?

But once you put aside the fact that almost none of it makes sense… you’ll appreciate it for what it is: A nonsensical, completely cringy and entirely hilarious 90 minute film.

Plus, it has a stellar cast, featuring Sam Claflin, Olivia Munn, Freida Pinto, and Aisling Bea. Oh, and Eleanor Tomlinson, who you may recognise as Jas fromAngus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging.

Be warned: the reaction hasn’t beengreat. Some people hate it, some people love it. Here’s what viewers are saying on Twitter.

I loved #LoveWeddingRepeat so much! I don’t know why people are hating on it, I watched I twice and laughed out loud both times. Some of the characters are caricatures—not to be taken seriously. They’re supposed to make you uncomfortable too (because men like Sidney exist).

Love, Wedding, Repeat (2020). This is a new romcom classic. This was fucking funny and it has a great twist. Sam Claflin is really good in a proper comedy setting. And Freida Pinto is surprisingly hilarious? Also Olivia Munn is absolutely breathtaking?? What a woman. pic.twitter.com/8HWVieuJmq

I really really enjoyed #LoveWeddingRepeat It was funny and consistently entertaining. So I’m surprised to see some people say it was boring and bad. Maybe because they don’t like British humor?

If you’re looking for an entertaining and incredibly British romcom, look no further than #LoveWeddingRepeat on Netflix, which stars Hugh Grant 2.0, aka Sam Claflin. ???? So much fun! pic.twitter.com/IoN5aor4e5

Is Love Wedding Repeat nonsense? Yes. Is it the kind of opulent Italian, sun soaked wedding based nonsense that we all probably really need right about now? Also yes. #LoveWeddingRepeat

I love British humour. #LoveWeddingRepeat

Dear @netflix: I know we have all the quarantine time in the world, but #LoveWeddingRepeat was unwatchable and a disgrace to entertainment. Please don’t waste our valuable quarantine time with garbage like that. Thanks.
