Amazon.co.uk Review
Harking back to the wilderness days of British cinema, The Wedding Tackle is an unsophisticated comedy of manners and relationships. Dealing with the impending matrimony of Hal and Vinny, a union that neither are particularly keen to enter into, the story intertwines a number of characters during the events of Hal's stag night. As the title suggests, much of the humour is aimed below the waist, and although it does wend its way to some sort of romantic conclusion, subtlety is not the film's strong point. Victoria Smurfit's Clodegh is by far the best character, an urban Tank Girl whose morals are as erratic as her driving skills. Bold, brash and noisy, The Wedding Tackle isn't the worst film around, but we can do so much better. --Phil Udell

The best thing about this film is Adrain Dunbars characters Greyhound.
Tony Slattery deserves more than this tosh.

Great lighthearted comedy from first-time director Rami Dvir
Review date: 2001-01-10 Rating: 6 out of 10
Although not having a perfrectly stable storyline, this film is extremely amusing, if just because of the fantastic casting. Tony Slattery, especially, makes his first film appearance for a number of years, and brings hilarity to The Wedding Tackle, the story of Little Ted and the marriage of his ex-girlfriend, whom he still loves. There is much plotting amongst the characters to prevent the wedding for a number of different reasons, providing excellent entertainment. The best thing about this film is that it can be watched over and over, because there isn't too complicated a plot, and the film requires very little attention in order to amuse the viewer.
