Eye-opening movie about second/third generation Samoans living in NZ. For most Kiwis this will be a world they barely know anything about. Very enjoyable, although a bit outrageous on the sex side of things.

The movie was ok. But sometimes a little try hard, Robbie's acting has improved a little but he still looks a little try hard, especially the elevator scene. It came across as if they were acting too much, there was no merge of character to suit their own personallities. But look, its good the boys and pacicif islanders are getting out there and doing things like this. But we are capable of much more. I know as Im a P.I singer/songwriter based in Sydney, and I kind of know Robbie as well.

An alright movie - but just alright. Enjoyed watching it and its great to see NZ and our people up there on the screen but I think this movie has been over-rated. It does have a few laughs but some quite obvious simple humour nothing too new or clever.... maybe the auckland traffic had put my mood in the darker regions or maybe, I not being polynesian did not pick up the finer points of the movie. I think it's a wait till DVD movie or good for homesick kiwis abroad

what a collection of cliches !! Pros - nicely shot , the soundtrack , doesn't require any thought... Cons - cliched humour and setups, some average acting , some flat spots , portrayal of Europeans ( male ) as wanna-be's or white women as skanks who can't resist the brown man , the heavy-fistedness of scenes like the security guard "picking" on them , all the 5 star P.C reviews annoy as well.... All in all , an average watch from a bunch of familiar faces...the whole thing was far too similar to the 2001 movie "The Brothers" e.g weddings , basketball scenes , clubbing scenes , attitude to women - Yaawnnnn !! Get an original idea Homeboy ....

I enjoyed it, probably because Im a Polynesian therefore I t all the in jokes and stereotypical tomfoolery. I suspect that Palagis generally wont get this movie, but if youre one of the brown bruvvaz or sistaz, youll either think its od harmless fun and crack up like crazy, or youll take the moral high ground and complain that the movie just cements the stereotypical Islander preconceptions of boozers, KFC afficionados, hip hop dancers and wife beaters. The movie does touch on all of those things, but addresses them with humour. To me the movie is all about showing some of the positive sides to Pacific culture, one of the main ones being the ease with which Polynesians can laugh at themselves. The other is the high esteem that Pacific Islanders have for their religious faith. The most hilarious moment for me is when the white guy tries to act all hip hop and gangsta, and whoever played that part did a great job. The movie is light weight, but thats what you get with comedy, this film is a refreshing breeze of fresh air, compared to the sick diet of crap American fantasy and propaganda that masquerades as entertainment these days. Ive made a few mini movies before so I know how hard it must be to complete a project like this, so congrats out to the cast, crew and director, thanx for the cool movie folks. Cheers.

To those spoilers I say lighten up a little, this flick is funny (but only if youre a funny person yourself) You will not like this movie if youre a sour, pessimist who finds fault with almost everything.

sione 's wedding is not to bad but i really like to watched over n over again how samoan people actived thier understanding and expressed their selves to the audience without samoan people.its really cool to use motivation, intelligent to do something good for future not for other people but 4 yourself.

A whole lot of belly laughs!!! What a fantastic movie......A little bit of what we all wish for..........a life of fun, carefree love, beer and no responsibility.
And all with a touch of kiwi to make it all the more endearing!
I loved it

By Allie Gillan-Sutton

We live in Sydney and are very interested in seeing this film. When is it going to be shown here in australia. Best films ---Stick men, Bro town. Now we want Sione's wedding. Robbie Mag is an awsome actor. Ps thanks for a top watch!

Congratulations to the Cast and Crew of Sione's Wedding. Take a bow. Born and bred in New Zealand. I have been living abroad for 20years and have experienced different cultures in some of my travels. To see a movie made from the homeland, you brought me back to my roots. I haven't belly laughed in a very long time. With the issues and messages in todays society. Thankyou for bringing part of my samoan life to screen. It has been a long time coming. Well done. Continue the journey. Come on New Zealand be proud. I am.

Regards to the movie, I like everything about it I thought was very humerous, I've watched the movie 6 times so far and haven't t sick of it I even picked up I few of the lines of the movie well I thought it was a hit and it would be good to have a sequel that would be cool.

Went along to this film expecting to laugh myself stupid, and came away feeling bitterly disappointed. Did not live up to the hype at all, and while it wasnt an awful movie, I found it slightly..... lazy. The material just wasnt up to the standards of what I expect from these guys based on their other works. Cheap laughs really.
Great to see a kiwi film showcasing local talent though.

The movie was great!!! Highly recommended, but not for the clinically humourless individuals.

This is the feel good movie of the year! A movie which I can honestly say has something for everyone. A far better film than I ever expected it to be. As Aucklanders, you all have an obligation to and watch this movie at the theatre :) Wanganui has River Queen, South Auckland has No 2, and now Grey Lynn has Sione's Wedding! Duckrockers represent! ha!

IS IT JUST ME, OR AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO TOTALLY DISAGREES WITH EVERYONE HERE? THIS MOVIE WAS EXTREMELY INACCURATE IN IT'S PORTRAYAL OF PACIFIC ISLAND LIFESTYLES... IN ONE WORD - EXAGGERATED... IN TWO - TRY HARD... THE PERFORMANCES WERE LESS THAN DESIRABLE, AND THE STORY - LESS THAN SATISFYING... IT'S REDEMPTION? A WARM PI SOUNDTRACK and SOMEWHAT BEAUTIFUL PRODUCTION BY THE KIWI BEaUTIFIER CHRIS GRAHAM... ABOUT AS SAMOAN AS BOLLYWOOD IS A TRUE DEPICTION OF INDIAN LIFE... STRAIGHT INDECISIVE...

You could never call it subtle or thought provoking. Simple? childish? It is a movie I wouldn't watch a second time. It had a few genuinely funny moments. The humour is basic, bottom of the heap. No, not slapstick, but stuff like people spewing repeatedly after too much booze, or showing their bare bums. Going by the pockets of raucous laughter in the theatre some of the audience found this hilarious. However, it was a divided crowd. Perhaps the movie told me more about my sense of humour than anything else and I'm glad that I saw it for this if nothing else.

Was fun.

Saw it yesterday - great movie. Reminded me somehow of a Kiwi version of The Castle - same sort of gentle humour. I really liked Derek the wannabe Grey Lynn gansta - his "under my grill" speech had me in stitches. Thought the fight scene a bit overstretched timewise at the end although quite funny that Albert and Derek ended up trying to bite each other's legs - a bit more real than the typical Hollywood fights of punch for punch. Loved the homegrown feel of the scenery - and the decor, vinyl dining chairs with formica tabletops - spot on. Really like Paul too - wished he could have been in more scenes.

I have not laughed so much since, well can't exactly remember the last time I laughed so much. I absolutely loved this movie. I could relate to it and identify with the characters. A must see for not just Aucklanders!!!

My partner and I went to see Siones Wedding and found it the most hilarious movie we had seen in a very long time. My partner is Samoan and he could relate to nearly everything in the movie- even the church where Sione t married. The guys little group the 'Duckrockers' is also so close to how many guys behave that my partner felt he could justify the way he behaves with his boys after we saw the movie. It is done so well and I didn't expect it too be as awsome as it was. It was so real to life and yet it was funny and sad and everything in between. I would recommend every person in NZ and abroad and see it- I don't know how anybody could not like this movie.

This has to be one of the most funniest movies I've seen this year to date. It was a film well done. I'm a white girl from Glenfield, so it was nice to get a representation in the movie....who cares where you're from. This film is for everyone. You have t to see it. The film truly represents the humour I experience everyday working with PI people....and I work for an insurance company too. Take a bow Oscar and co. You deserve an award for this. Can I suggest you work on a sequel or something similar....You make the movie...and people will come!!! I can assure you.

This is a funny movie and we laughed a lot. But dont read too much into the hype. Not a movie I'd see tiwce.

ALL IN ALL GOOD MOVIE, A BIT SHORT. I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO SEE THE BOYS SPEAK MORE SAMOAN. TIPICAL SAMOAN HUMOUR, NOW THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT! BY THE WAY CAN YOU HOOKMEUP WITH THAT SAMOAN CUZZIN OF YOURS OSCAR?

Just saw this one, and it was a good one! All of these guys are pretty funny as individuals, but put together, they are a bunch of laughs. Story has been seen before, but with the Pacific Islander view point, it was refreshing and made for a very pleasant night at the movies! Wife and I both were smiling as we left the theatre.

i love this movie it was the shiz, not to mension the cute guys(if you know what i mean) its funny, sad, cool, awesome and hillarious, but i like the part when stanley dances to the irish music, and michael with his arse up against the glass window in the white house strip club, and albert hiding in behind the clothes in the shop and walk out with a pair of boots, and when sefa came back home and tryed to make it up to leilani and then fell of the bed, but it was a pretty funny movie, its sort of similar to my favourite sho bro town

After reading the reviews decided this was the movie to take Grandma to for an Easter treat.Believing the hype, I checked that the incontinent pads were in place, made the mandantory purchase of popcorn and jaffas and settled in for the movie.
Yeah, I had a few laughs, but not as many or as hearty as I expected. Grandma caught up on a few zzz's, and we left having had a pleasant outing. And me, well yes, I enjoyed Siones Wedding but it wouldn't be on my must, must see list. Go and see for yourself, maybe if it wasn't for the good reviews I'd have enjoyed it more.I guess what I am trying to say is I was a little disappointed given the rave comments.
