Does this family act anything like my own? No. Was I expecting a family I could relate to? No. You find or don't find that throughout a movie and either way is ok. Are there families out there that do behave this way? Absolutely and worse, but, that's also subjective to what you're used to. Unfortunately most of the reviews seem to be either internalized and/or sound projected from a space of wanting or expecting this to be a thorough family feel good movie and it's mostly specifically not that until the end. It's not meant to be that in a cut & dry way and that's right in the title. I just don't think anyone imagined that "The People we hate at the wedding" could be the family members gaining insight into themselves. I enjoyed the plot, the imperfections, the whit, the way they all gained something they were missing by finally being honest with themselves and each other. I liked the man Kristen Bell met on the plane. The "Discount Mark Zuckerberg" speech was a 10 as was his comment about life coming full circle. Overall, I enjoyed how the movie showed some of the worst personality traits people can have (Self-sabatoge, Self-doubt, Selfishness, Dishonesty, Projection, Internalization) and some of the best (Insight, honesty, forgiveness of yourself and others, having the strength to go against the grain you're used to in order to bring positive change into your life).
