heatherhilgers I'll level with you - I like this movie. The one thing I can't get behind that has haunted me for the past 17 years is the scenes where they waste M&Ms. As a spoiler, Matty McConaughey has an initial scene where he's throwing out all M&Ms that are not brown; reason being, he thinks they have more food dye. Later on, Jenny from the Block does the same. This is wasteful and really took me out of the cinema experience. Why would you buy a bag of candy and refuse to eat 5/6 of it? Almost every processed food has food coloring in it, is this really a way to live your life? In sum, this is a top notch chick flick with a significant plot hole.
Nullify RUSU Someone put this on in a crowded bar, and everyone gathered around to watch it. Naturally, I did too. I made this account to say that I had the utmost displeasure of experiencing this movie and have to say that the cinematography is like that of a low budget film you would see during the daytime and the acting almost rivals that of the room. The fact that this was involved in the Razzies and only won an award in the Kids' Awards speaks great volumes. Terrible acting, script, plot, everything. Don't watch this; if you're mad enough to watch it bring a double barrelled shotgun: that way, if you miss the first time, you can shoot for a second time and hopefully kill yourself instead of having your eyes exposed to Satan's creation to torture paedophiles.
SnoopyStyle Mary Fiore (Jennifer Lopez) is an ace wedding planner but horrible at love. Penny (Judy Greer) is her funny assistant-best friend combo. Steve Edison (Matthew McConaughey) is the knight in shining armor literally saving her life time after time. Fran Donolly (Bridgette Wilson-Sampras) is his fiancée. All the parts are set up for an enjoyable functional rom-com. They only need to find a better match for Fran and the movie basically writes itself.Only problem we're introduced to Massimo (Justin Chambers). I'm willing to let go of the horrible acting from the miscast Chambers. It's an annoying Italian stereotype that the super white bread Chambers can't pull off. But why she wouldn't tell the truth right away is beyond me. What's the plan? More importantly why the plan? If she's trying to make Edison jealous, Massimo would be the last man to do it. It makes no sense. It's such a simple movie, and they screw it up so badly.
Igor Wedding Photography The wedding planner is not a great movie, it's kind of slow and the story falls apart and is very predictable, said that it's watchable on a rainy day if you don't have anything else to do and you are looking for a decent romantic comedy, but you will enjoy it so much more if you are a wedding planner or wedding photographer or work in a similar industry, you will definitely get some good laughs and maybe shear some tears.The acting is not the strongest in the wedding planner, but Jennifer Lopez is a decent and pretty actress for this kind of romantic comedy.The bottom line is, don't expect to much, a predictable plot with some sub-par acting but with some funny sequences if you are in the right wedding mood.
