Plot 411: An a capella group reunites after 15 years when one of the guys gets married.
Review: This movie apparently went through a lot of title changes (aka Shut Up And Sing and Sing Now Or Forever Hold Your Peace), but you should see any version you can. The movie is about a close group of college friends who reunite to sing at one of their upcoming weddings. Not having practiced in years, they get together before the ceremony at a lodge in the Hamptons. They bring their wives and girlfriends and kick back before the wedding. Not only does the movie show a significant amount of singing, but it's funny as all get out. The guys all have distinct personalities and are equally hilarious. You can't help but feel the IQ and maturity levels drop when they're all in a room together, which is probably an accurate depiction of real life. You feel like you're a part of their group. It reminds you of your own crazy friends and the special bond you have. The movie was thoroughly enjoyable. Despite the fact that the guys are the main focus of the film, I don't really recognize any of them. In fact, I recognize their significant others a lot more (Elizabeth Reaser, Molly Shannon and Rosemarie DeWitt).
Watch It: For an rollicking good time.
Skip It: If you find the somewhat cheesy, a capella vibe annoying.
