    The larger problem may be whether there's enough material to cover an entire season.

    A lot of this is pretty funny, but for 24 episodes?

    "Big Day" doesn't feel like a big hit, but it is intermittently amusing.

    Whether you'll want to go the distance with "Big Day" will probably rest on how close you feel to the family.

    Too often, “Big Day” evokes the unpleasantness of pre-wedding stress, without mining the nuptial process for creative, original laughs.

    Big Day is forced and tiring, although Wendie Malick is a delirious hoot as the bride's pushy mom.

    Despite its formal ambition, "Big Day" is disappointingly ordinary.

    Awesome! Hilarius. Hope they air the final episode or release it on DVD. Another season would be great too.
