I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. There's no unnecessary buildup to the plot line; it gets going right after the credits. Prepon, from That 70s Show, is not much different from her character on the show. It will be interesting to see if she turns out to be more than a one note actress.

There are some unbelievable moments (beside the whole premise of the movie): like changing clothes with handcuffs on. How does one pull a top over their head with cuffs on!?!? Things like that really annoy me.

Carrie Fiaher's character is laugh out loud funny as 'The Ugly American' in another country. The leading male character is a good looking and funny actor.

This was a pretty good romantic comedy. After reading some of the other reviews I almost skipped this one but I'm glad I didn't.

I gave this movie a two because of the scenery, which is Alcapulco, Mexico and stunning.

The cast can't act. In fact, the best acting comes from the native Mexicans cast in this movie of a bride, who wakes up on the day before her wedding to a scuzzy, wealthy guy, to find she's already married some unknown Mexican hottie. In a rather distasteful staged script, the bride, Melissa, went off the rails the day of her last bridal gown fitting because she found her fiancé, Brian, in bed with her wedding planner. So Melissa went out, drank something that made her blotto, and she woke up married to a stranger.

The basic problem, besides the stupidity of the story, is that Laura Prepon, who plays the bride, cannot act. She's very pretty, but there must be more. Her lines are delivered in either low shriek or dumbfounded woodenness. Matt Cedeno, as her surprise husband, is handsome and has a body to drool over, but he's no Benecio Del Toro.

To give them credit, they're struggling against a script that is about as bad as the worst of any Harlequin Romance. In fact, this entire movie screams of Harlequin category romances. What ever happened to the snap, crackle, pop of the 1930s and '40s madcap romantic comedies? There is a scene where Melissa and Carlos are chased by the Mexican police. They end up in a swamp filled with alligators. I found myself wishing the reptiles would win.

Carrie Fisher plays an overbearing, wisecracking, loud mother-of-the-bride. Sadly, she sounds like a (much) older Princess Lea. I found her scenes with the Mexican hotel staff to be unnecessarily nasty. Yes, she's supposed to be a snob, but you don't have to be a racist snob.

There is little to care about in this film. About 12 minutes into it, my eyes glazed over and stayed that way until the end. Anyone who can sit through until the end deserves a medal. Heck, *I* deserve a medal. Ah, well, the search continues for a good romantic comedy made for TV.

Hmmm...Who wouldn't want to wake up next to a Mexican hot-tie. I thought the movie was very good. Love at first sight. I really think the actor/s were also right on the mark. They seemed to have a connection. It was believable that they fell in love right away. I do like the ending. All romances should end that way. I think the movie is defiantly worth seeing. This is the first movie I've seen on oxygen. I think they really know how to judge a woman's movie. Also, Matt is on my favorite soap, Days. So looking at his bod is fine by me. I think he does an excellent job portraying a guy who just found the love of his life and doesn't want to let go. Carrie fisher is also funny in the movie. She plays an overbearing and racist mother who is bent on protecting her daughter's future. This, in despite of her daughter wanting to do her own thing in the end.

I really enjoyed this movie. The cast is wonderful and seem to work well together. Laura and Matt definitely have great on screen chemistry. I love it when Mellissa attacks the cop and takes off only to end up in crocodile infested waters. Carrie had me laughing throughout the whole movie! (I originally watched this because she was in it, now I'd watch it again for the movie itself.) My favorite line from this movie is when Edwina(Fisher)says: "Are you trying to tell me you got loaded and laid the day before your wedding, who do you think you are, Me?" I also love how Edwina stops Bryan from telling his parents the wedding is off. I have to give Mellissa's sister some credit for threatening to make it her mission in life to marry a Mexican man if her mother didn't let Carlos go. If you like light romantic comedies, then this is the perfect movie for you.

Carrie had me laughing throughout the whole movie! (I originally watched this because she was in it, now I'd watch it again for the movie itself.) I love romantic comedies and Carrie Fisher, so the two together it's like WHOA!! The plot was really good...Melisa married a total stranger the day before her wedding and she has to get the whole thing like annulled, and she has this control freak mother, Edwina (who is played by Carrie Fisher) who is like in freak mode the entire movie. In the end she chooses to leave Bryan (her fiancé) and go with Carlos. I loved the part where Edwina says:"Nothingis impossible. It's just possible with I M in front of it. You see I-M possible." I often use that when people say things are impossible!!
