The Wedding Planner

This is a very simple movie and as we know simple is a sweet and wonderful thing. Everything about this movie is crying out for a peaceful, slow evening movie. The actor and actress are smart and did good job. I like the role of the Jennifer Lopez very much. Especially in the movie her acting is very good and her speaking style is also very good. This is my first film of her. Her performance is very good and also the directors also done very well in the movie. It is very funny. How I say that it is comedian movie I don't know about this. Because some time it make us very sad. It is very good romantic movie but I am sure that this movie won't win any Oscars award, but if you're in the mood for a good romance comedy, this one should be at the top of your list. Let your brain rest, sit back, and enjoy. @@

Let's make a list of the major flaws in this movie.

1. Jennifer Lopez is one of, if not, the most famous Latina entertainers in the world. Why make her Italian?

2. Justin Chambers is horrible as the love forlorn Italian immigrant. His accent is so bad is ruins his otherwise likable character.

3. Lopez and Matthew McConaughey generate no chemistry. I just did not care what happened to them. I hoped that Lopez would go for the other guy.

4. This movie is an excuse to promote Lopez songs.

Movies in which a bright and intelligent woman falls for a spineless letch are starting to wear on me. I just could not believe that a character as strong a Lopez's would fall for such a weiner.

That said, Brigette Wilson and Alex Rocco are great, and there are some fun moments in this film. But please - did the makers of this film watch the scene where Lopez takes a bottle of "solvent" out of her purse to remove a stone penis that his glued to McConaugehy's hand? Good thing she had that solvent! ** out of ****.

I know of a lot of people who don't really like her movies but I am one of those people that do. Every movie I have seen with her in it has been great! This one was no exception. I highly recommend it but only if you like the "corny" (as some say) romantic comedies. If you love movies like Runaway Bride, you'll love this one, I promise.

"The Wedding Planner" is just another romantic comedy, and just another one starring Jennifer Lopez, and just another one starring Matthew McConaughey. As I have said before, Jennifer Lopez has such a beautiful feminine figure that I would prefer to see her as the romantic lead as opposed to most other Hollywood actresses working today. McConaughey is of course sexy with a laid-back charm, but that's just who he is.

This particular romantic comedy isn't all that funny, but the writers did seem to know which elements were necessary and included them. We find out McConaughey's secret the same time Lopez does, which is good because it helps us identify with our main heroine and we don't have to sit uncomfortably before the characters do. They also gave us another man - he's supposed to provide comic relief, and I did at least enjoy him. We also need to dislike the fiancée. Cast Bridgette Wilson and make her a stuck-up snob, so that is easily accomplished.

One thing that I found that "The Wedding Planner" has over lesser romantic comedies, is genuine chemistry between the leads. Although it's certainly lacking in the comedy, I found the romance tangible.

boo to the naysayers. i loved this movie. i just saw it last night - practically had the whole theater to myself (it's an out-of-the-way bargain theater). i'm mad at myself for waiting so long to see it. i thought the story was great - and without giving away details, i wasn't sure it was really going to end the way that it did. i loved all of the characters - and can even identify judy greer's character (penny) with a friend of mine. that made the flick particularly enduring. i laughed, i cried, i left feeling wonderful. i love chick flicks, and this one gets 5 stars from me. *****
