Spoiler for the Movie: “It’s All About You”

The movie builds to a chaotic and emotional day in a small English seaside town. What’s meant to be a cheerful, low-budget wedding turns into a storm of family drama, old secrets, and second thoughts. It opens with Lauren and Peter joking about how they don’t need Brazil’s beaches or sunshine because they’ve got their little community — and their daughter Stacy — even if life feels cramped and messy. But that light banter hides real cracks in Lauren’s confidence about marriage and Peter’s ability to hold it all together.

At the pub, various family members argue over unpaid tabs, old grudges, and who’s actually working or skiving off. The bride’s mom tries to keep the party mood alive while also juggling her own exhaustion. There’s tension between Kim, Denise, and Stacey about stolen jobs, unpaid drinks, and who’s responsible for looking after whom. The whole extended family — with their jokes, insults, and small acts of loyalty — sets the tone: this is a wedding where half the guests aren’t even sure they should be there.

Underneath the chaos, Lauren’s doubts keep surfacing. She confides to her mom that she feels “stuck,” can’t keep people she loves safe, and is exhausted by the shady dealings surrounding Ravi and Kojo. Her mother tries to reassure her with an old story about how Lauren’s dad always held her hand when she was a child — that maybe letting someone help isn’t weakness. But Lauren’s also haunted by the funeral she’s been arranging for a father who never loved her properly. Even in death she’s desperate for his approval, and she hates herself for it.

Meanwhile, in another thread, Callum is also stuck between love and pain. He’s been trying to protect someone he cares about from a “deadbeat dad trauma” and dark criminal business. His friend Jean warns him not to throw love away just because it hurts; real love means trying to shoulder the other person’s pain.

Back at the reception area, small comic interludes keep popping up: relatives joking about old underwear, dodging bar tabs, walking out “on principle,” and taking family votes on whether something was funny. The dialogue swings between sitcom banter and very real danger. People are running errands, making veiled threats, and trying to call in debts. Bobby warns someone that unless money’s repaid, “someone you care about” might get hurt. It’s clear that for some characters, this wedding is also a cover for unfinished business with dangerous people.

As the ceremony time approaches, Lauren literally runs away for a while. She hides, overwhelmed. In her private monologue she admits she’s scared of repeating her parents’ mistakes, of waking up bored and resentful, of wanting excitement but never finding it, of confusing “safe” with “stifling.” Peter is everything right — a good dad, a dependable man, the one who bought her the perfect dress — but she still wonders if she wants a 9 p.m. bedtime and dependable love or something riskier. She remembers how she left Martin (the “safe” guy from her past) over and over, only to realize too late that his quiet jokes and crisps on his belly were exactly what she wanted all along.

Her confidante spells it out: do you love him, do you trust him, can you depend on him, do you still fancy him? If yes, then maybe that’s enough. Peter might not be Martin, but he doesn’t deserve to be left standing at the altar. “Make a choice,” she’s told. “Just pray you don’t regret it.”

While this emotional crisis brews, other guests gossip, search for missing people, and try to keep news from Peter. They even debate whether Lauren’s disappearance is a “run” or a “relapse.” Harry, meanwhile, is in deep trouble with debts and shady employers. Bobby warns him that “once you’re in, you’re in,” but also hints at a possible way out — if debts can be settled. It’s another mirror to Lauren’s dilemma: do you stay trapped or start over?

Finally, at the very last moment, Lauren returns. She’s steadied herself. She walks back into the wedding and, when prompted to speak, admits in front of everyone that she did run away earlier because she was overwhelmed. She wasn’t sure if they needed to get married or if she even wanted to. But then she came to her senses: she loves Peter, she trusts him, she depends on him, and, crucially, she still fancies him. Even though he’s more “Noel Edmonds” than “Noel Gallagher” and likes to be in bed by nine, she’s lucky to be marrying the person she’s always loved. She says, “You’re the one, Peter. You always have been. You and our beautiful little family. You make me happy, and that is what love is to me.” It’s the speech the whole movie has been building toward — choosing solid love over the lure of excitement. They kiss as husband and wife.

After the ceremony, the film circles back to its other threads. Callum decides he’s done letting his father snuff out his light; now he has someone who wants him to shine and he’s not throwing that away. Harry tries to convince Gina to give him another chance, promising “no distractions” and “just us.” There’s a sense of characters, one by one, making choices to step out of old patterns — but also a warning that debts and dangers aren’t easily left behind.

In a bittersweet comic finale, the bouquet toss becomes a symbol of hope and exhaustion. Lauren jokes that whoever catches it must promise “no more surprise weddings” because she’s had enough surprises for a lifetime. But when the bouquet lands in someone’s hands, the crowd laughs and cheers. Life — messy, funny, dangerous, loving — goes on.

The movie ends on images of dancing, dry chips, inside jokes, and a family that fights, schemes, and forgives in equal measure. For Lauren and Peter, at least, the big question has been answered: she stayed, she married him, she chose the boring-safe love that might actually be happiness. For everyone else, there are still debts to settle and secrets to resolve. But for now, in this moment, the music swells and they all dance together, bruised but hopeful.
