Justin Zackman, writer-producer of The Bucket List, adds directing to his bag of tricks with The Big Wedding (which is an English language remake of Mon frère se marie), a seemingly on-the-nose rom-com about a long-divorced couple (Robert DeNiro and Diane Keaton) forced to pretend to be married during the wedding of one of their children. Also starring Katherine Heigl, Amanda Seyfried, Topher Grace and Susan Sarandon, so expect big fanfare, but you might end up wondering what all the hoopla was about. Now in theaters. (R) Not screened in time for review
