Irvine Welsh at his best!

I watched this on Channel 4. What an excellent program! Typical Irvine Welsh. In the vain of Trainspotting, the story moves between hilarious to utter despairing circumstances. The acting is superb with all four leading ladies giving brilliant performances. Irvine Welsh is a great writer and just as with Trainspotting this story has been expertly transfered to the screen. For anyone who likes excellently written and acted comedy drama's this is a must own!

The Female Trainspotting! Ten Years After...

From the multi-award-winning Irvine Welsh (Trainspotting) and Dean Cavanagh(Sympathy for the Devil, Babylon Heights, Dose), Wedding Belles is a darkly humorous look at the lives and loves of four modern women, each with their own remarkable, intriguing and often tragic stories.

Wedding Belles is Welsh and Cavanagh's first TV comedy film and features the cream of British acting talent. It tells the story of four late twentysomething women; Amanda (Michelle Gomez), Shaz (Kathleen McDermott), Rhona (Shauna MacDonald) and Kelly (Shirley Henderson) as they prepare for Leith's wedding of the year. But as the wedding draws nearer, their lives are thrown into turmoil with a series of hilarious, shocking and heartbreaking revelations.

Amanda's agenda is simple; she wants to tie the knot to her gorgeous pilot fiance Joshua (Jonathon Owen) in a lavish ceremony to rival the Beckhams. However, she will soon discover that Joshua isn't her knight in shining armour as she once thought. Following the childhood friends over five days, they soon realise that Amanda isn't the only one who will unearth a dark secret.

Each of the friends has their own agenda; from troubled relationships to foot in mouth disease, drug dependency to selling black-market Viagra to the elderly, all four women are desperate to keep their secrets a secret. As their lives start to unravel, they take a trip down memory lane and they all begin to realise that the past is exactly that and it's time to move on and grow up. But as the wedding draws nearer, their lives are thrown into turmoil with a series of hilarious, shocking and heartbreaking revelations. They have raved, loved and caroused hard, but are now ready to tackle adulthood head-on -or so they thought.

The funniest film I've seen in a long time. Very true to life, especially in the way a lot of people cope with life.
It gave a true account of the day to day problems and showed the often surprising ways people dealt with them. It was often not the way you would imagine each person to react! It was a black comedy, funny , sad and very entertaining.
