Rating: Summary: This movie was pretty good Review: I really don't care for Jennifer Lopez. I mean the women is an okay actress. I don't think she makes great movies. I honestly never liked a Jennifer Lopez movie (Other then Selena). But this movie I liked. I think she did pretty good in the movie. It was a nice story line and the chemistry between her and Matthew was great. I really enjoyed the film. It was cute.
Rating: Summary: JLo steals another woman's fiance Review: Another example of art imitating life! Why do these dumb men keep falling for JLo stank tail?
Rating: Summary: Hasn't this plot been done a million times already? Review: Mary Fiore(Jennifer Lopez) is a wedding planner. She's ambitious, hardworking, extremely organized, and she knows exactly what to do and say to make any wedding a spectacular event. When Mary falls for Steve(Matthew McConaughey) her life is turned upside down. He's the groom in the biggest wedding of her career. Will she help him walk down the aisle with his girlfriend Francine(Bridgette Wilson) or will Mary finally get to be the bride herself? Justin Chambers who plays Massimo steals the show Judy Greer also stars. Average Script. And by the books Directing by Adam Shankman. But despite everything The Wedding Planner was to my surprise not that bad. It had some funny moments and a few times found myself laughing. There a few moments though when the movie gets a bit over emotional. The plot is far from original but still enjoyable. J.Lo who i am not really a big fan of does give a good performance. I think we all know what's gonna happen in the end i mean come on it's a Hollywood movie, but everything just fell into place a bit too easy. I give The Wedding Planner 3/5 Not a bad movie for a rainy day
Rating: Summary: fantastic Review: This is my favorite J lo film. The plot was good and the cast was great. Good enough to watch with the whole family. Enjoy.
Rating: Summary: I like romantic comedies, but this made me want to puke... Review: Two words successfully describe "The Wedding Planner": Pee yew. With an exclamation mark. It's boring, contrived, silly and not very funny at all. Its two main stars, Jennifer Lopez and Matthew McConaughey, share absolutely no sense of chemistry whatsoever. The plot allows for devilishly funny situations that never arise from the recycled and visibly tired script. It's like sitting through a rerun of an old movie you've seen a million times before. And not a very good movie, for that matter. JHo - I mean, JLo - plays Mary, a wealthy wedding planner (hence the title) and control freak who is lonely and neglected in real life, forming no relationships for herself. That is, until she meets a doctor (McConaughey), who rescues her after she gets her high heel stuck in a pot hole in the middle of a busy highway. (Don't ask.) He takes her out to a fair and they dance and almost kiss. Then she finds out that he's engaged. Not only that, but he's engaged to one of her closest and friends. And, to top it all off, he's also her newest client - she has to organize his upcoming wedding. Then, his fiancee flies out of town for a week, leaving the two flirters together to sort out the wedding, and perhaps fall in love with each other during the process. But that will mean breaking up the wedding, right? Matters don't help that Mary soon becomes engaged herself to a man she has known since childhood. Why? Who cares? It's all part of the contrived plot I was ranting about earlier. First problem: The cast. JLo can't act. Not only that, there's no chemistry/sparks between her and McConaughey, who also can't act his way out of a paper bag (or from behind JLo's most famous behind, in this case). And she also can't handle the role of the Beautiful Lonely Single Female, a role Sandra Bullock can carry off because she doesn't act like a...well...JHo the entire time. I like romantic comedies, especially the entertaining and sweet kind. A romantic comedy doesn't have to wow me over with its plot or technical achievements; all I ask for are likable characters and an entertaining premise, recycled or not. Good evidence of this is "Alex and Emma," a film I attended a screening of some small number of weeks ago. I enjoyed that film despite its many negative reviews because I found the characters sweet and the story entertaining. "The Wedding Singer" is neither. It is both annoying and revolting, with unlikable characters (who come off as selfish and whiny as opposed to generous and optimistic) and a bad bundle of jokes. And as I stated above, "The Wedding Planner's" premise is like a rerun of another old romantic comedy - but not a very good one. The woman who has it all together is lacking love in her life; when she finally finds true love she can't have it. Quoting Dr. Evil, "Boo-frickety-hoo." The movie was directed by Adam Shankman, who has directed "A Walk to Remember" (2002) and "Bringing Down the House" (2003), the latter of which is very similar to this film and also quite unfunny at times. But at least "Bringing Down the House" had a top-notch cast, and at least it made me laugh - if only a handful of times. "The Wedding Planner" didn't make me laugh at all; it didn't make me care about its cute couple; it made me want to vomit. That's not a good trait for a romantic comedy that boasts how cute and funny it is. Quoting one of the most catchy taglines for a film ever, "You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll hurl." Take away the laughing part and you've got a two-sentence summary of this terribly mediocre movie.
Rating: Summary: Chick flick with a twist! Review: First let me start by saying that this is definitely a chick flick, so guys, back off. Secondly, I LOVE THIS MOVIE! It's not just your typical boy-meets-girl movie...it's something I would've never expected! Who would've thought that he'd fall in love with his own wedding planner? That's crazy! Slightly unrealistic, but what movies ARE realistic these days? If you're the mushy-romantic-who-cries-at-every-movie type, this movie is definitely for you.
Rating: Summary: Lacking, but good Review: I liked this movie, but it shows the stiffness of the stars. I am a fan of Lopez and McConaughey, but here they seem out of place. Wilson was a good supporting actress, and the only one that seemed comfortable in her role. I would recommend seeing this movie, but probably not buying it. Good DVD, some features, good soundtrack, O.K. movie.
Rating: Summary: Romantic Comedy At It's Best Review: Jennifer Lopez does a spectacular performance in this role. I cannot imagine this movie being as good and hilarious without Jennifer's comedic talent. This is a wonderful movie to watch alone or with friends. Highly recommended for those who love happy endings.
Rating: Summary: I can't decide what to rate this movie! Review: I saw this movie on a bus and it was OK. Not the best not the worst, it was somewhat funny and charming but still a bit of a bore. Predictable but keeps you interested. Jeniffer Lopez was great in this movie, which brightened the story line up. :) Overall: Check it out ... or you know, if you hate those predictable J-Lo Movies... Dont,
Rating: Summary: Somewhat romantic!! Review: Jennifer Lopez is the "wedding planner," and this story, she "falls in love" with the potential groom, and the story takes off. Of course the questions arise as you watch the movie - will she help him walk down the aisle with his Internet tycoon girlfriend, or will she finally be able to be the bride herself? This is a good movie, although not the best, and it has a lot of fine attributes. Lopez is fine in the role, as is Matthew McConaughey, and if you like smart and sexy, this may be the film for you.
