38An anemic, unfunny romantic comedy.
-
38Even the best home run hitters can swing and miss badly, though - and on "The Wedding Bells," all of them do.
-
37Unfortunately, the comedy is Kelley at his most forced and artificial.
-
30Mr. Kelley is a gifted television producer, and “The Wedding Bells” has funny moments, but this series is not a labor of love. It’s a labored effort to simulate romance.
-
30All together now: "I don't!"
-
30"Bells" needs to be about more than pacifying that week's psycho bride (or her demanding mother), or it risks being an updated version of "The Love Boat."
-
30It abandons all of Kelley's strengths, like the legal setting and male bonding, and drowns itself in his weaknesses: women discussing their feelings, women flirting with men, women acting body-conscious... basically, anything involving the female gender.
-
20I wouldn’t rush to clear space on the old DVR for this muddled marital mess.
-
20Somebody on The Wedding Bells is always saying ''We need to talk about it,'' to which the reply is invariably something like "I'm not big on dating men I've slept with.''
-
20This is the skin of a David E. Kelley show with none of the usual muscle, brains, spirit or cheek behind it.
-
20A painfully lightweight collection of stock comic wedding situations... that Kelley could have written on his PDA at the gym.
-
20A familiar mishmash of David Kelley formulaic elements.
-
20A joyless and certainly unromantic mess.
-
16Wedding Bells' pilot concludes with a bride literally catching fire, a suitably ugly ending for a truly grotesque show.
-
0It is awful. It is truly awful. It is awful in ways that make the word "awful" seem inadequate.
