Lots of buzz has generated surrounding the news of this star studded cast; Page Six, in particular conveyed such excitement: “But, hark! Break out the cream soda. Upon us is a new real movie, like what we once got in theaters. “The People We Hate at the Wedding.” Allison Janney, Ben Platt and “Schitt’s Creek” star Annie Murphy play a cranky family who, gathered for a ceremony, fight over every ratty thing each ever did.”
