Freddie (Tom Riley) and Maura (Sally Hawkins) are getting married, only not to each other. While Freddie is entering his second marriage with the neurotic Sophie (Jade Yourell), Maura’s motives for marrying Wilson (Ariyon Bakare) are more for money than love. Then, when the two wedding parties end up at the same reception venue, the house of cards looks set to collapse on the newlyweds, guests and all. (Verve Pictures)

Happy Ever Afters isn't a bad comedy. It's a lighthearted romp that, at times, gave me the vibe of a solid French farce by Francis Veber, though with an Irish twist and plenty of booze. Not that everyone’s drunk all the time, but alcohol just feels like a natural part of the setting, woven into the story from start to finish. I can't say I didn’t laugh—I did! It’s a bit ridiculous, but it flows nicely and kept me entertained. Also, side note: Dublin looks absolutely beautiful!
