Reviews for Sing Now Or Forever Hold Your Peace
Top CriticIts dramatic freight lurches, and intriguing characters (a sex savant, an Indian human beat box) are sold short; a thinning of the ranks might have helped.

Top CriticTake out all the elements of The Big Chill that made you like that film and keep the ones that annoyed you and you've got The Wedding Weekend.
05/15/08
Another one of those horrendous high concept vanity projects that thinks it's way funnier than it actually is.
04/24/07
As for the singing, it's pleasant but unctuous and, frankly, made me squirm.

Sing Now or Forever Hold Your Peace is a poor man's Big Chill, proving that navel gazing isn't the sole province of early baby boomers.
04/27/07
Molly Shannon, as the raunchy wife of the group's most reserved member, is the best-known actor in the cast and its most obnoxious.
04/27/07
It’s an inoffensive and unchallenging little film.
06/06/08
[An] uneven romantic comedy.
04/24/07
A transparent Big Chill rip-off where all the soap opera's characters share the same toxic personality. Jumpin' Jehosaphat!
04/26/07
It's pretty insubstantial stuff.

The latter may be the better option in this lame comedy.

One desperately wishes they'd take their signature greeting literally: "Shut up!"

Do we really need another movie with thirtysomethings who ache to re-live their college years? C'mon, guys, grow up!
04/27/07
A Big Chill without the dynamite acting, Bruce Leddy's debut indie Sing Now or Forever Hold Your Peace takes the yuppie manifesto's whiny self-absorption and ties it to a sitcom sensibility.
04/24/07
Top CriticIndie buddy comedy hits too many wrong notes.
10/22/07
One long sour note.
04/27/07
The title is the least of the film's problems; far more significant is its failed attempt to make its protagonists endearing instead of obnoxious.

If, when this gang lights into Our Love Is Here to Stay, you feel you've entered a very special chamber in Hell, rest assured you're not alone.
