Synopsis

A classic case of the little movie that could, Second-Hand Wedding is a feel-good tale of garage sales, and the ties that bind. Worried that her mother’s endless enthusiasm for bargains might even infect her big day, Cheryl (Holly Shanahan) delays unveiling her wedding plans. When Mum (Geraldine Brophy) finds out the information second-hand, she does not react well. Both actors won NZ Film and TV Awards for their work, and the film was a bonafide Kiwi hit; it currently ranks as New Zealand’s seventh most successful in its home territory.
