Summary: Pass This Movie Up!
Review: Don't Bother to watch this Movie! It has a stupid plot. But Even Worse, The whole time you are watching the moving, you know the actors are Acting!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Just Plain Wonderful
Review: OK, I have to admit it right at the start: I am a J-Lo fan, much to the amusement of my kids. I don't care, I'm right out with it, Jennifer Lopez, in my opinion, is one of today's great talents.

The Wedding Planner is a sweet and mindless comedy about a woman whose job it is to plan other people's weddings. She's been hurt in the past, and has closed her heart to any thought of her own romance, but she's wonderful at executing the most spectacular of fairytale weddings.

Along comes a mismatched couple if there ever was one. Matthew McConaughey is the hapless groom, whose low-key, even temperament is no match for his social climbing, obnoxious (but beautiful) bride-to-be. Lopez is hired to plan the wedding. Lopez and McConaughey are attracted. Each tries to deny it. And the ending is inevitable.

To me, this easy-to-watch video is as satisfying as a well-written romance in print, the kind you want to curl up and devour. I have done so with this movie about 5 times now, and I still love it. On the intelligence meter, it probably deserves a 1. On the enjoyment meter, a good, solid 10. Indulge yourself. It's just plain wonderful.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A perfect chick flick
Review: I loved this movie, I thought this was the perfect movie for romance and also comedy. This movie is the most perfect girly movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: reminds me of an old movie - very cute!
Review: This movie seems to be shot like one of those romantic comedies from the 40's or 50's. Not very realistic, but with snappy dialog, a classy dance scene, and lots of laughs.

Jennifer Lopez did a terrific job in a comedic role, while remaining breathtakingly beautiful throughout the film.

Definitely a great movie for those times when you just want to lighten up a little...

As other reviews have mentioned, her father's Italian accent was pretty bad - the only flaw in an otherwise completely engaging comedy!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Another predictible love story?
Review: Is this another predictible love story? We'll find out..but you have to know a bit of the movie first before you can rate it, right? So let's start off with a basic overview of the movie:

Mary Fiore [Lopez] is a perfectionist wedding planner who's got planning weddings down to a tee..from the flowers, the reception, even the FOB who's MIA [Father of the Bride Missing In Action!]. Yep, she's perfect with weddings, except when it comes to her own.

No doubt Mary has a successful career, but the audience can't help but wonder about her own love life. Well, at the moment, it's non-existant..unless you count Massimo [Justin Chambers], the simple and lovable Italian man that Mary's father tries to set Mary up with. Unfortunately for Massimo, Mary isn't attracted to Massimo..so he just follows Mary around like a puppy dog.

Other than that, things are fine in Mary's routine life, she's even about to nail a big account with Fran Donelly [Brigitte Wilson-Sampras], a successful businesswoman. Her life is quickly changed however, when one day she is rescued by a cute stranger, Steve Eddison [Matthew McConaughey]. She goes out with Steve and has a great time with him, and feels that she's finally found the perfect guy. That is, until Mary finds out that Steve is the fiancee of Fran Donelly. Mary has broken the golden rule of wedding planning: Never fall in love with the groom.

Mary can't lose the Fran Donelly wedding account..this is one of the most important accounts she's ever had. Can Mary just do her job and forget about Steve? After all, he's already engaged, right?

Watch the movie and find out:)

It seems like this would be another typical love story with a predictible ending. It actually does a good job of not being too cheesy or too predictible, at least as far as romantic comedies go. It's probably one of the most original story lines I've seen in a while, it seems like every single type of love story's been done already! The movie had a few choice funny moments, like whenever Mary tries to hide from Massimo..and the elderly friends of Mary's father add comedy with their witty comments and make the movie even more enjoyable, especially Bert:) Like I mentioned earlier, it's not too sappy, not too predictible, and does pretty well in the genre of romantic comedies. My only complaint would have to be the ending..it seemed a little too abrupt to me. Other than that, it's a great movie!

Oh, and another thing..sorry if my review [is poorly written], this is my first review, haha.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: stupid pointless dribble
Review: I have got to say that this is one of the stupidest movies I have ever seen. Come on, the guy manages to rescue her on horseback when her horse runs away with her. The beginning was kind of promising, but as I got to see what an idiot the Jennifer's love interest is I just kept wanting to shout, "Stay away from him." It's not like he's a sicko, but he's an idiot. So much sappy stuff happens, such as the aforementioned rescue. He actually rescues her several times. The plot is so predictable anyone could recite the dialogue along with the characters. In short, don't waste your time on this movie

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: McConaughey is a Dreamboat!
Review: Matthew's performance has made me look up other films he has been in. What a sexy man!! He plays well with Jennifer Lopez and this movie has continued my respect for her. This movie just makes me feel soft and fuzzy every time I watch it! What a difference to see a movie that has the first kiss at the very end! Shades of movies long gone by!! The soundtrack truly helped and Bridgette Wilson was just fantastic! I totally love this movie-though I really can't explain exactly why. Everything just seems to gel together and put a constant smile on my face!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If all wedding's were this easy to plan.
Review: Jennifer Lopez is great in this movie. She IS the wedding planner! She thinks of everything!! If only HER life was as easy to plan. "Dr. Steve" is also great, who wouldn't want to marry him? Anyone who is afraid to watch this movie because of J-lo, don't be. She is a fine actress as well as a fine singer. Rent or buy it today!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A great movie!
Review: I love this movie! This is an unusual role for Jennifer Lopez, considering she usually does action movies. She is great in it! I love her in this type of role! Mathew M. is great too! They have great chemistry together.
