Once Upon a Wedding (2005) Reviews

The daughter of a Caribbean dictator discovers that true love knows no social standing after falling victim to a magical spell in Caddical Dreams director Matia Karrell's lively romantic comedy. Margarita (Charlotte Ayanna) is the daughter of a fifth generation Caribbean dictator. Her heart aflutter as her wedding day draws near, Margarita inadvertently hits poor villager Rogelio (Kuno Becker) after swerving to avoid a messy collision with a stray pig. Despite their radically different social standings, something soon blossoms between the unlikely pair thanks to the unwelcome intervention of a magical middle man. As the big day draws closer and the fate of the entire island hangs in the balance, the villagers consider packing their bags as a result of the contaminated water and El Commandante's go-to man Pineda (Esai Morales) attempts to keep his safe full of dirty secrets away from the prying eyes that would shake the very foundation of his devious scheme. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
