Writer Suzanne Bier ("After the Wedding" - terrific, by the way!) directed this award-winning romance that features:
- Trine Dyrholm ("The Royal Affair") is Ida, the bald hairdresser (nice wig though) who has to confront one serious upset after another. She's the mother of the bride.
- Pierce Brosnan ("The Ghost Writer") is Philip, a highly successful international trader of fresh fruits and vegetables. It's his Italian villa where the wedding party convenes. He's the widowed father of the groom.
- Sebastian Jessen ("Almost Perfect") is Patrick, the groom...but he's starting to wonder....
- Molly Blixt Egelind ("Rebounce") is Astrid, the bride. The groom's wondering makes her wonder if she should start to wonder...
- Paprika Steen ("Keep the Lights On") is Benedikte, the worst sister-in-law EVER!
I'll bet you have it all figured out, don't you? Well, you don't. I love it when things become unpredictable, and they DO! Expect no sweaty bodies, gunshots, vehicular mayhem or blowie uppie stuff. In fact the biggest villain is that philandering husband.
BTW, Brosnan just gets more appealing as the years go by. He's far better now than when he was 'Bond'ing with the world. Yum!
