Summary: Chick Flick at its best.
Review: Michael Vartan is main actor NOT Jospeh Baldwin as stated in other review. This is a feel good movie and is basically a chick flick. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Not likely to win any awards but it is sweet and is harmless. Kind of film you can watch with the girls, a glass of wine and a tub of Ben & Jerrys. (Plus Michael Vartan looks good throughout)
Rating:
Summary: Excellent
Review: Michael Vartan, (not Joseph Baldwin as stated in the other review), is excellent in this film. OK so it is a chick flick but get the girls round, open a bottle of wine, sit back and enjoy the man that is Michael.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: My husband and I are big fans of Alias. When we saw this at our local video store, we couldn't wait to see it. How disappointing! The writing and editing are dismal, the chemistry between Michael Vartan and Natasha Henstridge is missing that special something that gives movies like When Harry Met Sally and You've Got Mail their magnetism. The movie isn't so bad that you feel compelled to turn it off, but we found ourselves caring more about the best friends getting together than the main characters. All in all, we were hoping to see the kind of passionate intensity that smolders between Michael Vartan and Jennifer Garner in Alias. This movie lacks that fire between the main characters. Without it, it becomes obvious how poor the writing and editing are.

Summary: Cinematherapy, yes a chick flick but it's so romantic...
Review: Okay, I admit, I was skeptical at first, but then you get sucked in... Natasha H. is so pretty, and he is so cute... It's not the best movie, but it's not bad either... And what woman wouldn't want her man to write a love story about the two of them?? I wanted to buy it after I saw it... On those days when there's nothing to watch on t.v. you would be glad to have this movie in your collection!

Summary: Sweet, Serene and just the right person for it.
Review: That movie was so sweet, it was the most adorable movie i have ever seen. I am a fan of the broadcast television show "Alias", and of all other works that involve Michael Vartan. He is an amazing, down to earth, and exsquisitley talented actor who deserved to play this role, and did. He gave to the movie a sort of sweet, innocent sense that no other actor could. I love all of his work, as well as his work in never been kissed. He is the ideal Knight in shining armor.

Summary: Very Cute
Review: The plot is formulaic, the dialogue is cheesy, almost cringe-inducing, and I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I'd definitely class it as a "chick flick" but one that men won't mind seeing either.

Summary: WORST MOVIE EVER
Review: This has got to be the worst movie EVER! The writer threw every cliche in the book into this plot and failed miserably. The performances by Natasha Henstridge and Michael Vartan were adequate but they didn't stand a chance with the horrific writing and editing. The premise was that two people meet in New York at The Plaza while planning their weddings to other people. He is a cop on a leave of absence and she is a school teacher. They apparently live in a suburb of NYC, so why would they both need to incur the expense of staying at The Plaza. In one scene, Anna - the school teacher, goes into Bulgari of all places to buy a gift for her maid of honor. What school district does she work for that she could afford to shop in Bulgari? Also, there are several scenes with her maid of honor and his best man where both obviously live in NYC. Why, again, would the two main characters stay at The Plaza when they have close friends and family that live in New York? The side plot involving the maid of honor and the best man meeting in a bar was strange and had no purpose. All in all this movie was so lame it made Duece Bigalow look like an Oscar nominated film!

Summary: Surprisingly Bad
Review: This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It is almost in the so-bad-it's-good category. It's not that it's offensive (unless you're offended by a flimsy plot and ridiculously bad dialogue), it's just that it's a waste of time. (I am, however, surprised by viewers who hailed it as a wonderful family-friendly movie, because it has enough adult themes and dialogue that I do not think it appropriate for children. Of course, when I say adult, I do not mean in the sense of mature and intelligent.) I looked it up here on Amazon after renting it, thinking I should have looked here first because it would probably have lots of negative comments. While it does have some, I was surprised to find some positive comments as well, so I thought I should add my opinion to help warn others away from this movie. I should also add that I am not a movie snob. I have enjoyed many a brainless romantic comedy. But this brainless romantic comedy is completely unenjoyable.

Summary: Sweet
Review: This is really not a bad movie. True, the script isn't the greatest thing and it is predictable, but that doesn't make it a bad movie. The plot is interesting, the situation is heartbreaking and the acting is pretty good. The problem this film has is that it is both a chick flick and a drama and it can't seem to decide which it wants to be. If you think you can live with that, then I recommend it. If you don't, then don't buy it. All you basically need to know about the plot is that two people, Anna and Charlie, meet the weekend they are both planning their weddings and they fall in love. And, of course, we all know what happens at the end, but all in all, it is still a pretty romantic movie.

Summary: Michael Vartan Scores Again As Leading Man
Review: This is the second film I've seen where Vartan is the leading man. He again completely delivers and is probably this film's greatest joy. The plot is nothing earth shattering but it is a good vehicle for him. He checks into a hotel to plan his wedding and meets a woman who is there to do the same. Problem is that they are both scheduled to marry two rich but total sharks in the corporate world. She is a teacher and he is a policeman on leave of absence for a failed hostage negotiation. So they are really not in synch with their intendeds. Thus, they start falling in love with one another as they plan to wed these two other people. There is also a cute supporting role couple, the best friends of each of the leads. I really enjoyed it.
