Move over, Wedding Crashers.

Love Wedding Repeat? Now this title, we can most certainly get behind. The brand new trailer for Netflix's latest original flick, Love Wedding Repeat, has landed and we are incredibly excited, because it's a movie that covers all three topics—but primarily, a wedding.

The film is centered around a man named Jack (played by Sam Claflin of Love, Rosie and Me Before You), who is attending the wedding of his sister. While ensuring his sibling has the best day possible, everything that can seemingly go wrong can, in fact, go wrong. First comes the unexpected appearance of a rather persistent romantic interest from the bride's past. Since this uninvited guest is most certainly in the wrong place, the bride devises a plan to have Jack add a sleep sedative to her ex's cocktail. In one scene, Jack accidentally ingests the wrong cocktail and he frantically attempts to counteract his mistake.

Then there's an angry ex-girlfriend who's also invited to the wedding (presumably played by Freida Pinto of Slumdog Millionaire). And finally, what's a wedding movie without an enduring love interest for the lead? The bride's friend—whom Jack views as "the girl of his dreams who got away"—shows up to the occasion too. This character is named Dina (Olivia Munn of HBO's The Newsroom) and she's dressed impeccably in wedding guest attire.

There's an element of fantasy involved in this flick where Jack experiences alternate versions of the same exact wedding. If he succeeds, he might end up with Dina after all. From its trailer, the film appears to be a mix between Wedding Crashers, Bride Wars and Love, Rosie combined. Of course we're big fans of nuptial-related movies, and we encourage you to binge many during this age of social distancing--including the most extravagant wedding films of all time.
