The Week Of
Essentially a reworking of the gist of Steve Martin’s Father of the Bride, Sandler and his longtime friend and sometimes writer/executive producer Robert Smigel find small opportunities to make this tit-bit of a movie seem welcoming…and somewhat familiar.
Most of The Week Of, is set in a small house in West Hempstead, Long Island and a leaky make-do hotel in the nearby vicinity, where a wedding is about to take place. Sandler plays Kenny, the father of the young bride (Allison Strong), who is marrying a young African-American (Ronald Buck III) – however, with a slight gag or two for comedy’s sake, the film doesn’t really exploit the worst aspects of racial comedy.
