I finally saw this movie and I have to say that I expected it better, although they said it was going to be much worse... It is a story that could happen... if it had not had constant UNLIKELY conflicts added, not to mention a script that you have unnecessary, meaningless and very forced scenes, just to get a joke at the end of each one. The actors are good, you don't need to force the scene for them to be funny. I will comment on everything in more detail in y the SPOILERS part.
I love the characters, I have no objection to that, the only one that can make me a little mad is "6", but it's their character, of course. But of course, we also find forced characters, like the English blackmailer, who is very pathetic (not the actor, but his character) or some other character. By the way, I will never understand the complaints of some about Melody, in the movie, if she appears so little in the movie that there is no time to see if she does it badly or well. For my taste it is acceptable and in line. Badly it doesn't.
The film ultimately remains a failed romantic comedy, whose ending, although completely predictable, is ruined by its own script. A fun movie could have come out, not a blockbuster, but something fun. A real shame (after all the hype they gave it...).
Spoilers:
Here I leave the doubts and plot holes that I have found in the script.
1- Yes, the wedding takes place in London and there may be flight cancellations and the groom/family may not be able to go that day. But... Is it really possible to delay a wedding so easily? The first conflict and it's already leaking... I don't think that place is free every day and available more than anything to them... But apparently yes, and I say, won't they have to pay more for delaying it for more days? Or even pay the staff more to make them pick up/reassemble everything? The issue of money and how expensive it will be to delay everything is NEVER MENTIONED. And the perfect character for that would be Rovira's mother. She doesn't find losing money a "hassle" either. They should have financed the wedding with coupons, right?
2- The plot of the English blackmailer could have been solved immediately, but of course, apparently the girls had to have some conflict on their side... It is not until when they are going to give him the money that they decide to beat him up, recover the money and his mobile. Why didn't they do the same when they were in front of him the first time? What prevented him? What will post the photos on the page? As easy as pounce on him, before he does anything and take away his cell phone or even if something happens, delete it immediately from his cell phone. It would have been solved immediately. And they would have saved the cheese thing. That the end of that scene is very "Hanna Barbera" or "Mort &Phil". Not even the cheeses serve as a "help" to the plot, they are just another joke. By the way, if he is English, how come he spends ALL THE TIME talking in Spanish?, even when he is alone. Even if they are your best friends, not many would say yes to getting rid of their personal belongings (laptop and tablet included) to get the money. At least, I wouldn't give up the laptop if it is my work tool.
3- The Amsterdam part is shoehorned in. The second cancellation thing can happen if the thing in London is serious, and confusing the suitcase is already bad luck, but losing the taxi from sight when you are running after it... I know CLEARLY that Alex is running behind the taxi, and it turns into a street, and Alex doesn't know why but he continues walking, FOR NO REASON. And there we put the whole part about drugs, etc., so that on top of that YOU CONFUSE THE SUITCASE AGAIN... This whole sequence could have been eliminated and it would not affect the plot, so that later in the end Alex uses the uniform to get to London. To save all the drug nonsense, they could have passed the dispute on to the suitcase's owner. And I'm sure there would have been much better ideas. But not...
4- The simple fact of not having heard English when the girls come out of the bar (WHAT ON TOP SAY IT IN SPANISH!) causes the wedding AFTER EVERYTHING THAT HAS HAPPENED, to end up being cancelled. All to provoke the last scene of "LOVE CAN DO EVERYTHING". If they give so much importance to the site, it is not a plan to finally send everything to hell, for something that could also have been solved immediately. But of course, it seems that the film would have fallen short. But again, no one talks about all the money lost after having delayed the wedding for several days and having several workers working both days AT ALL. Since again NO ONE MENTIONS all the money that has been lost.
5- It is nonsense that Alex tries to resist the police at the London airport, when he can see perfectly well that they are also taking Eva into custody. It is clear that they are going to put them in the same place. They take you directly to her, why do you resist?
I'm sure I left out some more, but that's just a few.
