No feel-good film here. "The Wedding Planner" is refreshingly dour in tone. It avoids the cliche of the two parties not getting their story straight when a friend or relative asks; for example, "Where did the two of you meet?" Debra Messing doesn't repeat her sitcom character, or Meg Ryan-out like a moonbeam. She's quite good. The problem is, however, Messing and Dermot Mulroney have absolutely no chemistry together. He doesn't have to be a jungle cat like Rupert Everett in "My Best Friend's Wedding", but, c'mon, he plays a man-ho who got his degree in comparative literature from Brown? There's also a reconciliation late in the film that absolutely rings false. You get the feeling that the screenplay by Dana Fox was tampered with. On the plane, Kat tells Nick(Mulroney) on the plane that her family is unredeemable, and sure enough, Kat's mother(Holland Taylor) says some unbelievable hurtful things about her daughter's broken engagement at the rehearsal. It rings false when "The Wedding Date" ends on such a happy note because the film doesn't really earn it.… Expand

It was nice not to having to think. No violence, bloodless, no car chases and lacked four letter words. A little drawn out, but that's okay. Refreshing for something different!

Loved Matthew. Such realism is rearly found. I bought the movie to watch at home. Great job by both Matthew and Jennifer.

I dont know where all of you get off saying this movie sucked, I thought it was AWESOME!!!!! You could feel the tension between Mary and Steve from the beginning. Please don't say this could never happen, because love could happen like this, I have seen it. I thought Jlo and Matthew were a GOOD couple in this movie. It's disappointing to hear critics say that this was not a part Jlo fit to play, who said that jlo has to play 1 character all the time in every movie, there is room to expand you know. I LOVED THIS MOVIE! I GIVE IT A BIG 10!!! I have watched it 5 times.. it's better then blood and gore and sad enough critics give 10 to those violent movies, whatever!!!!… Expand

Not funny, not cute, unbearable to watch!

No offense to anyone who goes to this site, but I'd stay away, cuz all the ppl here are just mooooooooorons....everyone's a critic...but i didn't think the movie was the most perfect...just you guys are harsh.

This could have been so much better. I think that they also gave away the movie in trailers.

I just love this movie and I'll love it forever. I didn't love J. Lopez before but she was sweet in this movie, not self-confident as she seems in another way.... I hate those "clever" journalists who know that "this will be an unless film" before they see it...or hope it'll be that...

Fantablous.

I absolutely love this movie AND Jennifer Lopez. I could watch this movie all day long!

Lopez is OK, but she doesn't manifest her usual star power. McConaughey is totally miscast. Some lame plot twists. Predictable but cute.

This movie was so bad and boring, i fell asleep. I don't understand why J.Lo is such a big star when she SUX big time!

This movie was not what I had expected it to be. It had its cute moments (i.e. the two Justin Chambers scenes...), but the ending left much to be desired. McConaughey and Lopez were not anything extraordinary (Chambers was more fun to watch than the two of them), and after sitting through almost two hours, I felt disappointed.

I love this movie! The whole cast gives an EXCELLENT performance! There's not one single reason NOT to see this movie! Justin Chambers (Massimo) should definitely be in more movies! He was also great in "Liberty Heights!"

Yo I really liked this movie..and I don't even like love movies but this movie was hot. Jennifer held it down.This wasn't one of the regular movies she does. It was nice seeing her do something different for a change. HOLD IT DOWN J.LO!
