Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Neil Welch This is a straightforward romcom based on the initial premise that Anderson (Jason Biggs) jokingly asks waitress and complete stranger Katie (Isla Fisher) to marry him, she accepts, and they find themselves forging ahead in a relationship which neither of them really meant to enter into.Comedy is an odd business. It is often based around people behaving in ways in which they simply would not behave in real life. For instance, while Anderson might come out with a jokey proposal and Katie might accept, the acceptance would be equally jokey and the matter would go no further. She certainly wouldn't ditch her job and move in with him later that day. Films require suspension of disbelief to a greater or larger extent, and if you can't accept that initial unlikely action, then the film isn't going to work for you. I often have problems with this.But the problems I have are usually character-based rather than events-based and, here, the characters are fine. Biggs is his usual amiable twit, and Fisher is engaging (in more ways than one, apparently). In fact, Fisher shows here a flair for physical comedy (and particularly facial comedy acting) which she has shown in other films, and which is a great strength of hers. I liked the characters, so I was happy to follow the trail of improbabilities.Because what happens after the initial set up is every bit as daft and unlikely as that set up. It is populated with daft and unlikely characters, but they are all likable. And, importantly, the script, and most of the situations, are funny. There is some deft and amusing dialogue, and some laugh out loud moments (several involving Edward Herrmann and Margo Martindale) as Anderson's parents.I sat in my living room at 2am, watching this on my own, staying up for the last half hour, knowing I had to get up for work in the morning, because it kept making me laugh. Make no mistake - it is ridiculous. But it is also funny.
Cedric_Catsuits Jason Biggs definitely runs hot and cold in movie performances, and this one is freezing. Isla Fisher tries her best to lower the standard even further, but in truth neither of them has to work hard to drag this pile of dog poo into the gutter.It's lazy, contrived and immature in the extreme. I dread to think how a bunch of adolescent morons managed to get this script accepted - presumably by another bunch of adolescent morons who stumbled across a pile of money and a drunk movie studio boss.Tasteless and lame don't even begin to describe the level of humour. This is dumbed-down film making which makes me despair for the future, not just of the film industry, but for the human race.
schrammbledeggs I saw this movie on Netflix Instant Queue and saw Jason Biggs and Isla Fisher on the cover...two actors who I've never disliked...so I gave this movie a shot. I walked in expecting a pretty terrible movie but I was pleasantly surprised. Basically, the movie is about how Jason Biggs randomly proposes to Isla Fisher on the basis of how spontaneous and romantic it is and Isla Fisher says yes. The rest of the movie is the "getting to know each other and falling in love" story. Now, in no way was this movie what I would call "amazing"; the plot was predictable, the acting was mediocre, and there was no evidence of outstanding direction, musical composition, or cinematography. But there's just a certain special magic present in the awkward, teen-oriented romantic comedy. Jason Biggs is just perfect at playing the role that made him famous...the awkward, embarrassing guy. Isla Fisher is gorgeous and funny...but mainly gorgeous and fills out her role well. Even Joey Pants (Joe Pantoliano) is in this movie. All in all, Wedding Daze is a fun romp that's worth 90 minutes of time you planned on wasting anyway.
dvpumas First, it seems that "the Next Girl I see", "The Pleasure of Your Company" and "Wedding Daze" are the same movie. It was quite boring and not really funny. I first thought it was going to be quite funny because they would have make this movie very unrealistic. I was wrong.It wasn't funny and wasn't realistic. You don't get caught in the "romance" or drama at all and the jokes are quite lame; except if you are 12. Please accept my apologies if you are 12 and feel offended. I don't really know how to explain that but it's not tangible therefore you expect the rest of the movie to follow that idea. Then, at some point they tried to be serious. They tried to make the romance credible. But it doesn't work. Many people left the cinema and we should have done the same. I was so bored that I even found myself enjoying salty pop corn (the sweet ones were finished)
