Pluskylang Great Film overall

SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless

BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Davis P OK, let me start out by saying that this Jennifer Lopez 2001 romantic comedy is as predictable as predictable gets. That being said, it still is not a bad or poorly made film, it's just predictable. Jennifer Lopez does a good job in her role, and I thought she filled the shoes of the character well. As for Matthew Mconahey, I think I spelled that right lol, he is alright, not the best choice for the role of you ask me, but I didn't really hate him as the romantic interest for Lopez. Matthew is just slightly bland in the movie, I didn't really feel his energy or heart in it. Judy Greer is wonderful in her supporting best friend/coworker role. I thought she was enjoyable and funny. The chemistry was there, it just wasn't like electric or awesome, again, maybe if someone else would've played Matthew's role, then maybe the chemistry would have been better. The dialogue and writing is alright, I mean it's nothing too special, it doesn't bring anything new to the genre, which I guess it doesn't really have to, but a little more creativity would have been nice. When it's all said and done, I do enjoy this film, but I just don't think it's great, in other words, I've seen better when it comes to the romantic comedy genre. 6/10 for The Wedding Planner.

rebekahscheys Jennifer Lopez is right at home playing the strong, intelligent professional, Mary, and despite her inability to properly tell a joke ("What, you think Kissinger wrote his own stuff?) or properly communicate strong emotion (like despair), she does well in the cutesy moments. Matthew McConaughey is charming as the conflicted Steve, and expertly plays both his character's dry, cynical side and his boyish joyfulness. The two play against one another well, unlike the boring Fran, whose idea of the perfect wedding song is Olivia Newton-John's "I Honestly Love You," and who can't seem to find one legitimate reason why she wants to marry Steve in the first place.As there are no other true funny characters, Massimo is perhaps intended to provide the film's comic relief, but his "humor" flows less from witty screen writing and masterful delivery and more from the director's mistaken assumption that every line a character delivers in broken English must be funny. Overall, "The Wedding Planner" does a good job of fulfilling audience expectations and creating characters that, while likable, are simply rom-com archetypes. The true romantic, unsatisfied with paltry declarations of love and empty representations of it, hopes for a bit more.Read my full review here: thecorrelationfilmblog.wordpress.com/2013/01/29/my-best-friends- weddingthe-wedding-planner/

lisafordeay OK so I saw this a few years ago on TV and it was on last night so I decided to watch it because I liked Jennifer Lopez in Maid in Manhattan and I am a hopeless romantic.The wedding planner is about a young woman named Mary Flores(J-Lo) who is an ambitious and hardworking wedding planner who tries to create the perfect wedding for her clients. One day she accidentally gets her hight heel shoe stuck in a manhole and a taxi man drops his ice cream in the car and hits a bin that nearly kills Mary. Suddenly a handsome doctor named Steve(Eddie)Edison comes to sweep her off her feet and to her rescue and she is smitten by him,but the problem is his engaged to be married to another woman who happens to be Mary's clients(Oh No).Anyway while his fiancé goes off for a week Mary spends some more time with Steve and she begins to fall in love with him. Mary of course is supposed to be engaged to Marcello(Justin Chambers who was in Greys Anatomy as Alex who is sporting a fake Italian accent that is so bad you couldn't help but laugh). Of course you know that she ends up with Steve in the end which is so cute yet kinda wrong as she stoled someone else's fiancée who was so stupid she decides to not marry him after and goes off on their honeymoon on their own.I think Hollywood is running out of ideas when it comes to making Romcoms as they are loosely based on the same thing again and again.Having said the above I thought it was a cute Rom com that will have you either loving it or hating it. Matthew McConnaghey was hot in this and J-Lo was a bit wooden in some parts but still she's just acting like the same character again and again.Nothing new here but still worth watching on a lazy afternoon.7/10

Jackson Booth-Millard I knew the lead actress, and I knew it was spoofed in Date Movie (with the big ass joke being a highlight), so I thought I'd give it a go, from director Adam Shankman (Cheaper by the Dozen 2). Basically Mary Fiore (Razzie nominated Jennifer Lopez) is a hard working and well organised wedding planner, who can make any wedding a spectacular event, oh, and she enjoys Scrabble. One day, she is rescued from a near accident by doctor Steve Edison (Matthew McConaughey), and it is obvious after dancing and a near kiss that she has fallen for him. But there's a problem, he's engaged to one of Mary's biggest clients, Fran Donolly (I Know What You Did Last Summer's Bridgette Wilson), and even worse, Steve's hired her to plan the wedding. Not only is Mary finding this hard to do, but Steve might be having doubts that he wants to marry Fran at all, oh, and Mary might have accepted a proposal from childhood friend Massimo (Justin Chambers). So it comes to the wedding day, and thankfully, Steve tells Fran his doubts, and she feels the same too, and Mary pulls out of her wedding, and it ends happily ever after with them dancing. Also starring Judy Greer as Penny, Alex Rocco as Salvatore, Joanna Gleason as Mrs. Donolly, Charles Kimbrough as Mr. Donolly, Fred Willard as Basil St. Mosely , Kevin Pollak as Dr. John Dojny and Kathy Najimy as Geri. I can see what the critics mean about this being like a Julia Roberts film, it is close to the premise of My Best Friend's Wedding, just giving us the ending we could have had, and making it okay. Lopez is an alright female lead, plenty of chances to view her curves, and McConaughey has his small moments as the male lead, and even though there isn't a lot to laugh at, it is worth a go, at least once. Okay!
