Charlie\u2019s clumsy attempts to understand his betrothed\u2019s perspective send him into a tailspin, and the potential for drama on the big day starts snowballing.

Meanwhile, sanctimonious maid-of-honour Rachel (Alana Haim of the sister band <a href=\"https:\/\/www.standard.co.uk\/topic\/haim\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Haim<\/a>, wonderfully insufferable here), whose cousin was disabled by a school shooting, is also poised to cause trouble.
