Don (Robert De Niro) and Ellie (Diane Keaton) were married for 20 years before they got divorced. They have three children, Layla (Katherine Heigl), Jarod (Topher Grace) and Alejandro (Ben Barnes), an adopted son from Colombia.
Ben and his fiancée, Missy (Amanda Seyfried) are getting married and when Father Monighan (Robin Williams) reminds them that the Catholic Church does not recognise divorce, Ben becomes very worried as he never told his mother, a devout Catholic, that Don and Ellie are divorced. What makes matters worse is that Don and Bebe (Susan Sarandon) are not married and have been living together for years.
As Ben’s mother, Madonna Soto (Patricia Rae) will be attending the wedding, he asks that Don and Ellie pretend to still be married. This angers Bebe who moves out.
As the plot unravels, there are a lot more twists and turns for the viewers to enjoy.
I rate this as one of the funniest movies that I’ve watched this year.
