"Sione's Wedding" (also marketed outside New Zealand as "Samoan Wedding"), is a 2006 comedic film directed by Chris Graham and written by James Griffin and Oscar Kightley, and produced by South Pacific Pictures.

Plot

Set in Auckland, New Zealand the film centres around four Samoan boys: ladies man Michael, party boy Sefa, good boy Albert, and weird Stanley, who although they are in their mid 20s to early 30s have a reputation for behaving immaturely at special occasions such as family weddings. After four particular incidents (having sex in the limousine of the bride and groom; dropping the bride while she was hoisted up on their shoulders; getting drunk and passing out while going through the wedding cake and the table; and setting a reception hall on fire), the local minister of their Samoan Church (Nathaniel Lees) rules that the four boys are to be banned from the wedding of Michael's brother, Sione (Pua Magasiva).

This is hard news for the boys (Michael was supposed to be the best man), but the minister relents - they are allowed to come but must be with girlfriends and in serious relationships with them. The theory is that if they do have girlfriends, they are most likely to spend their time with them, instead of causing havoc.

While the boys think it's an easy plan, they soon realize that finding a girlfriend isn't as easy as it looks...especially since the wedding is just one month away.
