The Week Of

In the 2018 comedy The Week Of, directed by Robert Smigel, the chaotic world of wedding planning takes center stage as two families converge for a momentous occasion. As the big day approaches, the film follows the hilariously fraught journey of the parents, played by Adam Sandler and Chris Rock, who are tasked with handling the final preparations for their children’s wedding. Despite their differences and the tension that inevitably arises, the two men must navigate a week filled with mishaps, unexpected guests, and family drama that puts their patience—and friendship—to the ultimate test.

At its core, The Week Of explores themes of family, friendship, and the often absurd nature of wedding traditions. Sandler's character, a well-meaning but somewhat hapless father, and Rock's more pragmatic counterpart bring a delightful dynamic to the film, showcasing how two very different styles of parenting collide in the face of love and commitment. With a blend of slapstick humor and heartfelt moments, the movie captures the essence of what it means to come together as families, even when things don’t go quite as planned. While it may not be a cinematic masterpiece, the film offers plenty of relatable laughs for anyone who has ever been involved in the intricacies of wedding festivities, making it a light-hearted choice for fans of comedy.
