The Wedding Planner Audience Reviews

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
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.
napierslogs "The Wedding Planner" is just another romantic comedy, and just another one starring Jennifer Lopez, and just another one starring Matthew McConaughey. As I have said before, Jennifer Lopez has such a beautiful feminine figure that I would prefer to see her as the romantic lead as opposed to most other Hollywood actresses working today. McConaughey is of course sexy with a laid-back charm, but that's just who he is.This particular romantic comedy isn't all that funny, but the writers did seem to know which elements were necessary and included them. We find out McConaughey's secret the same time Lopez does, which is good because it helps us identify with our main heroine and we don't have to sit uncomfortably before the characters do. They also gave us another man - he's supposed to provide comic relief, and I did at least enjoy him. We also need to dislike the fiancée. Cast Bridgette Wilson and make her a stuck-up snob, so that is easily accomplished.One thing that I found that "The Wedding Planner" has over lesser romantic comedies, is genuine chemistry between the leads. Although it's certainly lacking in the comedy, I found the romance tangible.
dmills9 This movie didn't do much for me. Not bad, but not very good either.The music tried valiantly to evoke emotions that the acting and script just weren't doing on their own. But here's the problem. I'm not the type of person to take special note of the music (usually) and this just goes to show that I really wasn't into the story.These leading actors are really enjoyable most of the time, but this time, especially on the part of Jennifer Lopez, I was wondering what happened to the usual talent they display.Despite their flat acting, a good word for the father of the wedding planner, Alex Rocco, has to be put in. This guy did such a great job with his character that I was almost instantly in love with the sweetness and genuine feeling that came across in his overly-involved father role. His part was relatively small, but important and superbly done.Watch it if you want, but don't expect to be blown away or swept off your feet.
shaz125 This film is badly rated and I don't no why. Just because it's a film for the women, which I am happy to admit. There is brilliant acting in this film from both JLo & from Matthew McConaughey. Any way if I'm to say what my favourite bit of the movie, I would have to say it would be the part where she finds that she has fallen for the groom (McConaughey)of one of the biggest weddings she is planning, while trying to get away from dancing with him. My least favourite part is where Fran (Bridgette Wilson) is trying to choose a song for the wedding and all the songs are awful. This film is one of the best Rom-Coms made.
