Jack juggles an angry ex-girlfriend, an uninvited guest, a misplaced sedative, and the girl who got away

In the 2020 romantic comedy film *Love Wedding Repeat*, Jack (Sam Claflin) is faced with a series of challenges while trying to ensure his sister Hayley's (Eleanor Tomlinson) wedding day goes off without a hitch.

Firstly, Jack must contend with his angry ex-girlfriend, who is also in attendance at the wedding. He also has to deal with an uninvited guest, Marc (Jack Farthing), who has a secret: he is Hayley's ex-boyfriend, and he threatens to reveal to her new husband, Roberto, that they hooked up three weeks before the wedding.

Adding to Jack's woes is a misplaced sleep sedative, which was originally intended for Marc's drink to prevent him from spilling his secret. However, due to a mix-up, the sedative ends up affecting other guests, causing chaos and further complicating Jack's plans.

Finally, Jack is also juggling his feelings for Dina (Olivia Munn), the girl he believes got away. Dina is a friend of Hayley's, and Jack's old crush. Throughout the film, he navigates his feelings for her while trying to keep the wedding day on track.

The film explores multiple timelines and alternate versions of the same day, showcasing different outcomes and the impact of these challenges on Jack, the wedding, and the various relationships involved.

The wedding day of Jack's sister Hayley and Roberto is threatened by an uninvited ex-boyfriend

In the 2020 romantic comedy "Love Wedding Repeat", Jack (Sam Claflin) is faced with a series of challenges as he tries to ensure his sister Hayley's (Eleanor Tomlinson) wedding day goes off without a hitch. One of the main obstacles is the arrival of Hayley's ex-boyfriend, Marc (Jack Farthing), who was not invited and has a secret to reveal—that he and Hayley hooked up three weeks before the wedding.

Hayley and her new husband Roberto's big day is threatened by Marc's presence and his potential revelation. In an attempt to prevent him from spilling the beans, Hayley asks Jack to put a sedative in Marc's drink. However, due to a mix-up with the seating arrangements, the sedative ends up in the wrong glass, creating further chaos and affecting the wrong people.

As the day unfolds, Jack also has to deal with other unexpected guests, including his angry ex-girlfriend and an old crush, Dina (Olivia Munn), who is caught in an uncomfortable conversation with another guest. The film explores alternate versions of the same wedding day, showcasing different twists and turns, and how small changes can lead to significantly different outcomes.

In one version of the day, Marc reveals his secret, leading to a confrontation between Roberto and Hayley, which ends in Roberto falling from a balcony. However, in another version, Jack manages to talk to Marc and convince him to keep quiet for the sake of Hayley's happiness. This version ends with a happy ending for everyone, as Marc decides not to reveal the truth, and Jack pursues a potential romance with Dina.

Despite the light-hearted and chaotic tone of the film, the ending falls short of resolving a major issue—Hayley's cheating. While the "everyone wins" scenario provides a feel-good conclusion, it leaves the cheating revelation unresolved, and the film fails to address the problem that started it all.

Hayley and Jack plan to drug the uninvited guest, but the place settings get switched

In the 2020 romantic comedy film "Love Wedding Repeat", Jack is in Rome visiting his sister Hayley and her roommate Dina, with whom he wants to muster up the courage to kiss. However, they are interrupted, and Jack leaves Rome without making a move.

Three years later, Jack is at Hayley's wedding. After the ceremony, he and Dina meet for the first time in three years and admit that they used to ask Hayley about one another.

Hayley's former schoolmate, Marc, arrives uninvited, confesses his love for her, and threatens to tell her husband, Roberto, that they hooked up three weeks earlier unless she lets him stay for the celebrations. Hayley and Jack plan to drug Marc with her sleeping drops, but a group of children playfully rearrange the seating order, and Jack loses track of the glass with the sedative.

In the first timeline, the sedative ends up in Bryan's glass. As the "maid of honour", he has to give a speech but keeps falling asleep. In the second timeline, the sedative is in Jack's glass. Struggling to stay awake, he manages to talk to Marc and make him understand that all that matters is Hayley's happiness.

However, a series of unfortunate events and distractions prevent him from making a connection with Dina. Firstly, his old schoolmate Greg interrupts a potential romantic moment between Jack and Dina, causing an awkward goodbye and a frustrated Jack to leave with Greg.

At the wedding, Jack is seated next to his ex-girlfriend, Amanda, instead of Dina, due to a mix-up with the seating arrangements. This leads to further complications and prevents Jack from spending quality time with Dina. He also has to deal with an uninvited guest, Marc, who is threatening to reveal a secret that could ruin his sister's wedding.

Despite the challenges, Jack and Dina do reconnect and have meaningful conversations. However, their moments are fleeting as Dina is called away for work multiple times throughout the wedding. Jack tries to pursue her, but his efforts are hindered by various interruptions and his own embarrassment.

In the end, Jack fails to make a lasting connection with Dina, and she leaves the wedding due to a work emergency. Jack attempts to express his feelings for her, but it is too little too late.
