3 bodas de más (Three Many Weddings in English) is your typical Spanish romantic comedy, which only differs with the American one in two points: it has more nudity, and is more politically incorrect. But it is funny, even if it loses the opportunity of make more of its idea.
The story is as simple as you could expect: woman breaks up with guy in boss's wedding and goes into depression mode: she is not going to find the love of her life, she gets drunk and does a one-night-stand with the first guy that comes through... But then, suddenly, three of her former boyfriends decide to invite her to their weddings. Ruth, the woman (played by Inma Cuesta, doing a good job) is reticent to go and angry at all of them at the same time, but Dani, who works for her, convinces Ruth that it could be good to go, show that she is not doing so bad, and... well, the point is to find as many situations as possible for Ruth to embarrass herself in public while she grows as a person and empowers herself. And the movie does a great job and Inma Cuesta is game.
The movie is funny, with some laugh-out moments. The romantic part is not so well done, and I find Quim Gutiérrez as Jonás a little bit underwhelming, even if he is a good actor enough. The evolution of Ruth's feelings for the men around her is not well developed and makes for an uneven ride, even if a fun one. It doesn't break the rule book, but it is a good time at the movies.
