A breakout hit in France, Serial (Bad) Weddings comically plays off, and then upends, racial stereotypes of all stripes. The Verneuils are Catholic, well-off and well-educated. They struggle with three daughters who have married, successively, a Jewish man, an Arab man, and an Asian man, so when their fourth daughter falls in love with a Catholic, they’re delighted. But things don’t go as planned and soon the three brothers-in-law are enlisted to prevent the next wedding in this raucous, romantic and quirky comic romp for the ages.
