It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This is a good example of how not to do an ensemble romance. I couldn't manage to care about any of the multiple story lines, or almost any of the characters. Some I would have liked to have vigorously beaten around the head. The concept is fine, of the wedding dress passing through various hands until it returns, as destined, to the original couple. However, the utter predictability of the story and uneven pacing, combined with slight genre shifts made finding out how it could get worse the only reason to keep watching. Each segment was a schmaltzy short, twitching unevenly between scenes, each teaching us a new and incorrect life lesson ( sometimes, those battling neighbours aren't hiding sexual tension, they just genuinely dislike each other ). Chemistry between many of the pairings was weak, and the better actors were just phoning it in. Be warned, despite his face being on the poster, Neil Patrick Harris does not have much screen time, and he plays the romantic role straight and sappy. A train wreck, not quite in Birdemic's league, but enough to make me think of it.

This was screened on TV yesterday afternoon, and I thoroughly enjoyed an hour and a half of relaxed light entertainment. I am in full agreement with the great majority of reviewers of this title who indicate their strong approval. If your taste is for sexual promiscuity, foul language and tragedy, this is definitely not for you. It is not moralizing, but is strongly supportive of the sanctity of marriage with one exception. While it would be quite easy to find fault, you will be well rewarded if you concentrate on the cast of attractive and believable characters for whom you should feel a warm affection. There is an abundance of situations and dialogue which tie together beautifully in fairy tale fashion, which is the strength and charm of this delightful movie. It's a shame there's no Region 2 DVD at present, but do make an effort to watch it somehow if you have a romantic side to your nature.

Watched this to begin with as "wallpaper". However, found it holding my attention and I enjoyed it right through. It reminded me very much of the Sophia Loren movie, "the Yellow Rolls Royce". A nice little movie. It could have been corny but I thought that the different places in which the dress arrived and the ways in which it arrived there were imaginatively thought out. It probably could more be described as a "woman's" movie but fellas may not reject it altogether.

I could have done without the youngest couple that appeared sporadically throughout this movie, but the rest of the show was wonderful! Tyne Dailey is always a treat. Margarent Colin and Peter Wingfield together--the sparks just flew!! Some day PW will be rewarded for all his hard work. Some day tptb will sit up and take notice of this rare, genuine talent!
