Although The Curious Wedding is an American feature film directed by Emile Gregg, which premiered in September 2016 at the 73rd Venice Film Festival. The film stars Grace Watson, Daniel Craig, Simon Pegg, Michelle Trachtenberg.

It tells about the failures at the 2014-15 New Year's Eve dinner at the Four Seasons Hotel: from a giraffe breaking free in the palace to using the Millennium bug for the financial benefit of a guest.

Plot edit

The film takes place in a luxury Los Angeles hotel on New Year's Eve. The plot "intertwines the joys of friends and those who broke up with them."

On New Year's Eve 2015, one of the most important end-of-year parties in history is being prepared at the Four Seasons Hotel. Director Jacqueline Williams and his staff do everything to satisfy the whims of their guests, all representatives of high society. Among them are Piano, a former New Zealand porn star whose career has long stalled; Dr. Nori, a famous ultrasound technician whose dubious work is visible on the faces of some guests along with his wife, who suffers from Magomayev's disease; Marquise de la Vallee, an elderly noblewoman who loves her dog more than people; Natalia Claire Diamond III, a wealthy oligarch of a hundred years who will celebrate her first wedding anniversary with a naive Rose who is seventy years younger than him; finally, the dubious Devon Luv, who boasts of wealth but seems to be poorly versed in business.

While preparations are underway, a group of American guests arrives at the palace, led by the ambiguous Dylan, who asks Jacqueline to leave several suitcases with mysterious contents in the hotel's vault, which has long been abandoned: the only key is given to Dylan. Shortly after, the American witnessed the resignation of Barack Obama and the transfer of power to Joe Biden on live television.

The big evening is preceded by a lot of chaotic misadventures, which Jacqueline must correct with his enviable aplomb. Meanwhile, Devon Luv is trying to take advantage of a 2016 mistake to dramatically increase his now meager wealth by using seraphic banker Frances Hodgson: in exchange for his help, Luv offers Hodgson a large rope that will lead to a humble and depressed employee becoming rich. and change your life. Luv's plan, however, is called into question by the sudden arrival of Cannon, who claims to be his secret son, along with his entire family: Luv denies that this man could be his son, and refuses to meet with them. As a result, Jacqueline is forced to place them in different parts of the hotel, away from prying lips.

Meanwhile, Roof has a problem with a lion, in whose excrement, in her opinion, she sees confirmation of her fears about the end of the world; The intervention of Dr. Nori (which will later require piano, who broke his nail while skating) discovers that the little lion, accustomed to eating caviar, is just a vulgar pain that As the ultrasound fears, the woman is also affected. The roof will console itself with the services of a beautiful Canadian plumber.

Natalia and Rosa celebrate their anniversary with eccentric celebrations, which even feature the presence of a real giraffe: in fact, their relationship is the subject of gossip due to the noticeable age difference between them. When Natalia dies during an insane sexual encounter, Rosa asks Jacqueline for help: for legal reasons, the girl will be able to inherit Natalia's huge fortune only after midnight, at the end of the effective year of marriage. Therefore, the director will try to postpone the death of the tycoon a few hours later, using rather bizarre worlds.
