Young career woman Samantha 'Sam' Hoyt gets swept off her feet by Benjamin 'Ben' Rosen, who romances her better then anyone before, so she jumps at the offer of becoming his fiancée. If Ben thought a girls typical obsession with the perfect wedding was testing, she soon proves a particularly bad case, and before he gets used to that meeting each-others parents complicates things gravely, as Jewish and church wedding traditions don't exactly mix easily. They take their time preparing while living together. Then fate strikes again: the key man from the client of her firms advertising campaign is Luke Stinson, the perfect gay at college whom she could never date because of a rather serious fall just when they could have kissed. Luke proves still as irresistible, gorgeous, charming, easy-going and simply too sexy for any female not to lust for at first sight, and...

ThiefHott Too much of everything
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Aspen Orson There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
Amy Adler Samantha (Shannon Elizabeth) has dreamed of becoming a bride since childhood. After all, she was the one who donned a miniature wedding gown to go trick-or-treating. But, as she finds out early, sometimes you get a chocolate bar, sometimes you are stuck with an apple. Same goes for romance. Still, Sam is always hopeful and even uses Here Comes the Bride as her telephone ringtone. Finally, she finds Mr. Right, Ben (Eddie McClintock) and begins planning the IDEAL wedding. Everything must be perfect, from the gown to the flowers to the setting. Ben is pretty willing to help with the ordeal, so that's nice. In fact, when they find a good apartment, the couple even moves in together to pool expenses. But, naturally, complications arrive. First, Sam, an ad lady, gets a very important account that will require a good deal of her time. Then, when she finally meets the client, Luke, he turns out to be a gentleman who made googly eyes at her in college and visa versa. As Sam and Ben get deeper into the wedding plans, a few squabbles naturally come their way, resulting in doubts about the whole thing. Also, will Luke stir up trouble, too, for does he still have his eye on Sam? This is really a nice romcom which most females on the planet can appreciate. From infancy, almost, women dream of the day they will walk down the aisle and this flick pays homage to that irresistible fantasy. Ms. Elizabeth and Mr. McClintock make a very fine twosome and the rest of the cast is nice as well. The production looks good, with terrific costumes, settings, and camera work, and the script and direction are lively and true. All in all, if you can confess to being a romcom addict, like me, look for this nice movie at the usual outlets. You will be glad you did.
thejuicer280 OKay so I LOVE chick flicks, I think the worst movies are great... and I thought this movie was awful... absolutely brutal... I have a problem with turning off shows before they're done, and I full-out turned it off to go to bed... when I got up I decided I could sit through a few more minutes of it to at least see if it ended any better.I was wrong. The lead female can barely call herself an actress, I couldn't even handle how awful she was.The plot was way too predictable, even for me ha ha SKIP this one, but if you really want to see it, buy it off me, I got mine for $4 and it wasn't even worth that.
OXO_on_Lsd I used to like Shannon when she was younger, but she seems to become a worse actress as she has gotten older (something I thought was impossible for anyone).This woman is now totally unbelievable as an actress and casting her as some girl next door character just doesn't work anymore (especially when you see how difficult it was for the makeup people to hide the bags under her eyes).The plot was totally unbelievable too and how this film ever got funded is beyond me.I must say that I actually fell asleep watching this and decided to watch the bits I missed simply because I wanted to warn people to stay away from this film.Do yourself a favour and go watch paint dry.
nycgrl7 I was totally prepared to dislike this movie, why? No clue. but Shannon Elizabeth is quite charming and adorable and the guys? Not too shabby either both very cute and both engaging in their prospective roles, one as the lovable yet somewhat clueless fiancé and the other as the hunk who got away. There are performances by some women in the film, you know the usual bitchy and catty lot and the one real cool one. It plays well and quickly and in usual TV movie it has the problem as well as the rush to a resolution as the movie is nearly done. But all in all it is a fun time. I have proof! My boyfriend watched and laughed! He laughed although he pretended not to watch it. I suggest to go out and pick it up as it's on DVD!!!
