The film focuses on a young couple on the brink of marriage. Unfortunately, their parents don’t exactly approve of the decision. One factor that hinders their union is the fact that their families aren’t too fond of the other.

Ugly Betty star America Ferrera portrays the character Lucia Ramirez, a law student who is the first person in her Latino family to study in college. She falls for and gets engaged to Marcus Boyd (Lance Gross), a black med student.

These two are already set on tying the knot due to the groom’s Doctors Without Borders project, hurrying to make it before they’re whisked off to a foreign land. However, the problem lies with their families, who can’t seem to agree. It boils down to the question of race, which is definitely an issue this movie wants to bring up.

America Ferrera discussed Our Family Wedding with the publication USA Today, expressing the importance of their involvement in the film. Not only did the cast enjoy acting on the set, but they all agree that it really is a commendable contribution to movie history.

“My character is defining herself apart from her family,” Ferrera explained. “That starts with it being very controversial that she’s marrying a black man. It has two minority perspectives from people who have their own instincts of preservation and exclusivity and what they think of as ‘the other.’ It doesn’t have to be just white vs. every other minority. That’s what makes the film special.”

Joining Ferrera and Gross on Our Family Wedding are comedian Carlos Mencia and Oscar winner Forest Whitaker as the fathers of the couple. The movie was directed by Rick Famuyiwa, previously known for his work on The Wood and Brown Sugar.

Seriously, Betty couldn’t be moving to a better timeslot at a more opportune time, with all it’s got going on. Let’s just hope that those Modern Family and Cougar Town viewers stick around to see what’s up with the Suarez clan and everyone else at Mode, come January.

The network is set to move the America Ferrera comedy, “Ugly Betty,” to Wednesday nights, creating an all-laugher line-up, according to Variety.

The network is apparently hoping the switch will give “Betty” a ratings boost. The Friday after Thanksgiving saw viewership at an all-time low of 3.3 million, lower than a rerun of Jay Leno.

“Betty” will follow Courteney Cox’s “Cougar Town,” replacing “Eastwick,” which was cancelled last month.

Also on Wednesdays is ABC’s break-out comedy hit, “Modern Family.”

“Ugly Betty” currently airs on Friday nights, between “Supernanny” and “20/20,” which if ratings mean anything is no longer a good slot for it.

The move is effective in January.

“I have always [seen the character] as transformative,” she tells ET. “A caterpillar who has to grow into her own skin — into the version of herself that she is most comfortable with. I never see Betty turning into a supermodel, or one of a million cookie-cutter girls. I do see her as blossoming into a more mature version of herself.”

That said, sometime this season, Betty finally gets her braces off, and she has already started dressing more chicly for her new job as a non-poncho-wearing assistant editor.

“I think the new look was a natural progression for Betty,” America says. “It was less a choice to become something else than it was to let the growth take its course. Her bangs grew out. She accepts it. She says, ‘They are changing. I will see where it goes.’”

Fans of “Ugly Betty” should find this fourth season a bit more reminiscent of the first, because Betty’s promotion has once more put her in a situation where she is out of her comfort zone.

“She gets this promotion, which turned a lot of people against her,” America explains. “She is back at the bottom. It is a re-setting to how it was in the beginning, but now she is a little more mature, confident and can handle it more.”

“Ugly Betty” airs Fridays at 9 p.m. on ABC.
