When CJ, the youngest and only boy of the Salazar siblings, announces that he is getting married, his sister, Gabbie, convinces the other sisters to come back home for the wedding as requested by their mother Grace. Teddie, the eldest, is a laid-off teacher secretly working as a waitress and housekeeper in Madrid; the second, Bobbie, works as a corporate communications manager in New York and lives with her boyfriend Tristan and his daughter Trixie; the third, Alex, lives independently as an assistant film director; while Gabbie is a teacher who takes care of their mother.
Bobbie, having a difficult relationship with Trixie, is pressured by Tristan's eagerness to get married. Alex, on the other hand, is having a hard time with her filmmaking gig as well as her relationship with Bobbie's ex, Chad. Meanwhile, Teddie, who cannot afford to buy a plane ticket, convinces her colleague Frodo to return to Manila together and pretend that they are a couple.
When the family reunites, the sisters express their opinion on CJ's abrupt decision to marry, offending him and prompting them to apologize. CJ accepts their apology but tells them to behave themselves when they meet his fiance, Princess Bayag, and her family.
CJ confronts his sisters about the spa incident and assures them that the wedding will take place regardless. Bobbie confronts Teddie for continuing her plan, leading to an argument. Later that evening, Bobbie sees Chad flirting with another woman while buying condoms at a convenience store. The following morning, Bobbie talks to Alex about what she saw, but they end up fighting.
The Bayags visit the Salazars to show the gowns for the wedding. The Salazars do not like them, so Honey Boy decides that they play charades - wherein the family who wins gets to decide what gowns to wear. During the game, the Bayags kept on hinting that Teddie is a maid. Grace immediately disrupts them and makes the Bayags leave for insulting her daughter. Grace confronts Teddie about the Bayag's behavior, and she admits that she was laid off during the recession, and lets go of all of her emotional turmoil. During the confrontation, Bobbie tells Grace how hurt she was her whole life, for not being anyone's favorite, and how jealous she was of her siblings for all of their different traits. She explains how hard and lonely her life was in New York. Upon hearing her struggles, Trixie has a change of heart to Bobbie.
The following day, Alex and Bobbie reconcile, and Alex confronts Chad and breaks up with him. Later that day, CJ informs his family that Princess's grandfather died. The two families reconcile and give their apologies. Due to a superstition that prohibits weddings after the death in the family within a year, CJ and Princess's wedding does not push through. In order for the preparations and expenses not to go to waste, Bobbie uses them to marry Tristan, with the Salazars wearing the Bayags' gowns.
The film's soundtrack was Salamat, which was written by Christian Martinez, and performed by Richard Yap. The said song was also used in the celebration of Rebisco's (the film's sponsor) 50th anniversary.
On February 27, 2020, Star Cinema announced that the film will be getting a prequel entitled "Four Sisters Before the Wedding". The prequel will also be directed by Giselle Andres, an assistant director in the original film, however, Mae Cruz-Alviar replaced her instead, and itwill be set during the Salazar siblings' teenage years.

It will be produced by SCX, a new sub-brand under ABS-CBN Films, Star Cinema.[7]

I am not really a fan of making reviews for movies. I am not even for reviews that compliment my favorite actors because a lot of fans have been doing their fair share. But these movies mostly answered my inner longings. And I am thankful for my sister, Justine, for unconsciously bringing something out in me with these movies: enlightenment.
They were all experiencing problems of their own. And I was here watching a movie to make uplift my spirit because I am also experiencing a lot of problems. I am not in any way different from them. Probably, all my problems are self-inflicted. From fear of getting-too-old on my birthday, promotion at work and even my particularity of graduating honors in UP.
I cannot really help but cry when she delivered her lines on that specific scene (1:30:00 onwards). I was just struck with the pains, if the story was true, of being not herself just to fulfill her dream for her family, even though it might entail her to sacrifice her own longings.
Indeed I want to thank the makers of these films, Skylight Films and Star Cinema, for making noteworthy movies that can touch, even not the majority, the hearts of those who are on the same shoe. And thank you Bea Alonzo for portraying well the plight of the people who are sacrificing their dreams for their family. And to all those people who are still sacrificing their own dream for their family, I salute you.
the bigger thanks to the filmmakers and the people who worked hard to make that movie would have been if you had paid for it in the cinema house (instead of watching the pirated copy online). bumawi ka na lang by buying the ORIGINAL video when it comes out.

The movie focuses on family, and although it had the typical comedic portrayal of a family in the form of the Bayags, I did appreciate how familiar and Filipino the Salazar family was portrayed. Each of the four sisters is a representation of the Filipino youth. That might seem off for some, what with each character seeming like a stereotype at first, but the movie was able to bolster these characters through realistic and logical characterization. Their motives are sound and all their actions are dictated by these motives. That is what I liked about this movie.
Couple of things to take note of here. First is even without the catalyst for the film, the wedding, we are provided with some compelling family dynamics. The close-knit sisters torn apart by the diaspora makes for rich content.
Anyway, the catalyst of the film is baby bro CJ (Enchong Dee) who decides to marry a girl he has known for only three months. This gets the sisters in a tizzy, and they are forced to put aside their differences and come home for the two weeks of preparation before the wedding. They decide that being the good Ates that they are, it is their responsibility to prevent the wedding.
Now at this point, there are two ways that this film could go. It could go in the direction of a crazy fun romp, with all kinds of antics ensuing as they try to stop the wedding. The other is that they go into a deeper exploration of what it is that makes them want to prevent this wedding, calling into question the various issues and weaknesses of each character. Either one of these directions could have made for a really good movie.
