Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
Deanna (Tia Mowry), a workaholic lawyer, and her twin sister, Danielle (Tamera Mowry), an up-and-coming pastry chef, are in romantic slumps. Determined to find dates for their grandparents' upcoming wedding, the duo enters a competition to find boyfriends. Unbeknownst to them, the two begin dating the same eligible bachelor, Tate (O.T. Fagbenle), who has no idea he's actually seeing two women at the same time. As the wedding date gets closer, and things start heating up between Danielle and Tate, it's only a matter of time before everyone realizes that twins can be double trouble.
Is It Any Good?
DOUBLE WEDDING is pretty much everything you'd expect from a made-for-TV romantic comedy about twins accidentally dating the same man: It's silly, cheesy, and really predictable. But it's also surprisingly entertaining at times. The characters are likable, and there's an attempt to add some side plots into the mix to keep it interesting. Unfortunately, the length ends up being the downfall, and the plot starts to wear thin by the second half, keeping it from being a true guilty pleasure.
Fans of romantic comedies looking for a silly, light watch might enjoy this flick. But, even though it's most likely OK for older tweens and teens to watch, they'll probably be happy to skip this one and watch something more geared to the high school crowd.
