Critic Reviews

Carrie Rickey

At its best when it employs the conventions of romantic comedies to satirize them through the eyes of an anti-romantic wedding planner. Read full review

Andrew O'Hehir

A chaste, lively and mildly goofy romance to dispel the winter blahs. Read full review

Jonathan Foreman

Simply not up to the task.

Desson Thomson

I suggest you RSVP in the negative to this "Wedding" invitation, unless you consider yourself a friend of the obvious bride to be, Ms. Lopez. But even then, you'll have to focus on her presence, rather than the silly ceremony around her. Read full review

Mark Caro

Stumbles from cliche to cliche: Read full review

Mr. Showbiz Kevin Maynard

The film's greatest flaw is its miscast leads, who conjure up zero dewy-eyed, wish-fulfillment magic. Read full review

David Sterritt

Frankly, it's excruciating to watch. Read full review

Jennifer Lopez is stunning and perfect in every scene, Matthew McConaughey is a very pleasant presence (although not as charming as after the hair miracle that the actor will experience in a few years). The story is what it is, fake as a plastic flower, and yet it would have been watchableJennifer Lopez is stunning and perfect in every scene, Matthew McConaughey is a very pleasant presence (although not as charming as after the hair miracle that the actor will experience in a few years). The story is what it is, fake as a plastic flower, and yet it would have been watchable if there was not an imbarassing poor depiction of the Italian maybe-to-be fiancee Massimo: the goofy, insignificant, language-cliché speaking ("Mangia, mangia"), and ultimately boring young man cannot even start hoping to share the same room with JLo's character, let aside marring her, therefore this part of the story is far from being believable: it would have worked better if there were some real competition between him and McConaughey's character. 9 for JLo, 5 for the movie.… Expand

This is were Lopez's rom-com's stop now! you have the guy lead Matthew Mcconaughey, (great actor!) who tries to play his character very well; but he do good in this film if the script is in the way?

JLo is an arrogant and deplorable woman who doesn't know what quality and talent is. His works are hideous and dark.
