Betsy's Wedding is a 1990 comedy film written and directed by Alan Alda. It co-stars Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, Madeline Kahn, Joey Bishop, Joe Pesci, Anthony LaPaglia, Burt Young and Catherine O'Hara. The plot was inspired by the marriage of Alda's youngest daughter.
While the film was not critically well-received (with comments such as "threadbare concoction"[1], "narcissism flourishing like ragweed" and "unctuous"[2] peppering the reviews), it has been cited as launching the movie career of Anthony LaPaglia.[3]
