What is the movie My Mother's Wedding about?
After their mother was widowed twice, three very different sisters come to their childhood home for her third wedding. While dealing with their own dynamics and careers, they also come in contact with a variety of interesting wedding guests. And with the wedding chaos and complicated family relationships, this is definitely filling the void left behind by My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
But while fans are very excited to see how the relationship dynamics play out, they're less thrilled with Scarlett's English accent. "I love this but I cannot take scar's accent seriously at all," one TikTok user says, while another adds. "Love Scarlett but the accent is hurting me."

Is My Mother's Wedding a true story?
Actress Kristin Scott Thomas wrote and directed My Mother's Wedding, and based the story on her own childhood experiences growing up without a father. “The part that is absolutely true and is my experience as a child is all the memories that Scarlett Johansson character carries in her head. That all happened to me, and those are my exact memories,” she told TODAY. “And that was sort of the seed for the film in the beginning — wanting to explain that to my family, what I remembered about our fathers."
"I played it as the mom that I would like to be. The idealized version,” she continued. “The important thing for me was that the memories should be mine and then the rest was theirs to play with."
