At her cousin Emily’s spectacle of a wedding, bridesmaid Alex watches the confetti fall with open disdain, because in six months she’s expected to stage an even bigger one. Everyone calls it “tradition,” but Alex calls it a trap. Her overbearing and traditional Taiwanese mother insists the celebration must outshine everyone else’s so she can finally recoup decades of checks written to other people’s kids - payback by way of a mega-wedding. Cornered in the bathroom where big decisions are often made, Alex and Emily trade brutal truths about generational duty, performative pageantry, and the suffocating weight of expectation.

 

Big Day is a sharp, heartfelt comedy about circumventing tradition to claim the celebration that’s authentically yours.
