ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

heatherhilgers I'll level with you - I like this movie. The one thing I can't get behind that has haunted me for the past 17 years is the scenes where they waste M&Ms. As a spoiler, Matty McConaughey has an initial scene where he's throwing out all M&Ms that are not brown; reason being, he thinks they have more food dye. Later on, Jenny from the Block does the same. This is wasteful and really took me out of the cinema experience. Why would you buy a bag of candy and refuse to eat 5/6 of it? Almost every processed food has food coloring in it, is this really a way to live your life? In sum, this is a top notch chick flick with a significant plot hole.

novagirl11 Might be predictable but still a quotable cute romantic comedy. This is my favorite film of Jennifer Lopez's acting and it's classic Matthew McConaughey. It's also funny to see Justin Chambers, who looks so different and plays such a different character from his role on Grey's Anatomy! But, I can't support the brown M&Ms supremacy...it's a waste of perfectly good chocolate!

rebekahscheys Jennifer Lopez is right at home playing the strong, intelligent professional, Mary, and despite her inability to properly tell a joke ("What, you think Kissinger wrote his own stuff?) or properly communicate strong emotion (like despair), she does well in the cutesy moments. Matthew McConaughey is charming as the conflicted Steve, and expertly plays both his character's dry, cynical side and his boyish joyfulness. The two play against one another well, unlike the boring Fran, whose idea of the perfect wedding song is Olivia Newton-John's "I Honestly Love You," and who can't seem to find one legitimate reason why she wants to marry Steve in the first place.As there are no other true funny characters, Massimo is perhaps intended to provide the film's comic relief, but his "humor" flows less from witty screen writing and masterful delivery and more from the director's mistaken assumption that every line a character delivers in broken English must be funny. Overall, "The Wedding Planner" does a good job of fulfilling audience expectations and creating characters that, while likable, are simply rom-com archetypes. The true romantic, unsatisfied with paltry declarations of love and empty representations of it, hopes for a bit more.Read my full review here: thecorrelationfilmblog.wordpress.com/2013/01/29/my-best-friends- weddingthe-wedding-planner/

dmills9 This movie didn't do much for me. Not bad, but not very good either.The music tried valiantly to evoke emotions that the acting and script just weren't doing on their own. But here's the problem. I'm not the type of person to take special note of the music (usually) and this just goes to show that I really wasn't into the story.These leading actors are really enjoyable most of the time, but this time, especially on the part of Jennifer Lopez, I was wondering what happened to the usual talent they display.Despite their flat acting, a good word for the father of the wedding planner, Alex Rocco, has to be put in. This guy did such a great job with his character that I was almost instantly in love with the sweetness and genuine feeling that came across in his overly-involved father role. His part was relatively small, but important and superbly done.Watch it if you want, but don't expect to be blown away or swept off your feet.
