Robert Altman's satire on wedding rituals and the American family earned Best Director and Screenplay BAFTA nominations. The high-society wedding of Dino Corelli (Desi Arnaz Jr.) and Muffin Brenner (Amy Stryker) turns into a dysfunctional family nightmare as members of both extended families drink heavily, start affairs and try to keep skeletons in the closet. Carol Burnett's performance as the bride's mother earned her a Golden Globe nomination.
