The Week Of

The Week Of centres on two fathers whose children are about to get married. Kenny, a middle-class family man, is determined to pay for his daughter Sarah's wedding himself, even though his finances are stretched. The groom's father, Kirby, is a wealthy surgeon who offers to cover everything, and Kenny refuses to accept. The two men, whose outlooks and circumstances differ sharply, are forced to spend the week before the ceremony together as the final preparations unfold.

Robert Smigel directed the film and wrote the screenplay with Adam Sandler, who also produced it and stars as Kenny. Chris Rock plays Kirby, with Steve Buscemi, Rachel Dratch, Allison Strong and Roland Buck III among the main cast. The production involved a large ensemble, with 86 credited cast members and 64 credited crew. Smigel's next feature as director was the 2023 film Leo.
