BlackTree TVs, Naja
Hill, sits down with
America Ferrera to talk about her new film
Our Family Wedding. In this discussion,
America talks about what role her culture and family played in her acting career and how perfect timing has led to some of her successes and opportunities.
"Our marriage, their wedding."
It's lesson number one for any newly engaged couple, and
Lucia (America Ferrera) and
Marcus (
Lance Gross) are no exception. In
Fox Searchlight Pictures' OUR
FAMILY WEDDING, they learn the hard way that the path to saying "I do" can be rife with familial strife. When they return from college and too suddenly announce their marriage plans, they soon discover that their fathers - two highly competitive over-the-top egos - can wreak a major amount of havoc on their special day.
With insults flying and tempers running high, it's anyone's guess if the alpha dads (
Forest Whitaker and
Carlos Mencia) will survive to make it down the aisle in one piece. Lucia's mother (
Diana Maria Riva) is busy planning the wedding of "her" dreams and the only levelheaded one in the bunch is
Angela (
Regina King), the groom's father's best friend and lawyer, who manages to keep her cool when the madness reaches a crescendo.
With only weeks to plan their wedding, Lucia and Marcus soon discover the true meaning of love and find there is truth to the saying - that when you marry someone, you marry their entire family.
OUR FAMILY WEDDING is directed by
Rick Famuyiwa from an original screenplay written by Rick Famuyiwa,
Malcolm Spellman, and
Wayne Conley. The film is produced by Ed
Saxon and Steven
Wolfe.
America Ferrera (Lucia
Ramirez) stars as the title character in the hit
ABC series "

Betty has earned her an

Golden Globe for
Best Performance by an

Television Series-Musical or Comedy, A
Screen Actors Guild Award® for
