Reviews for The Wedding Planner
The plot ... spews cliches like a drunken best man toasting the groom.
01/25/01
A sweet love story hampered by contrived conflicts.
01/01/00
The script by Pamela Falk and Michael Ellis is so grindingly predictable every step of the way that it's cumulatively numbing, and finally sleep inducing.
01/26/01
Su complaciente y sentimentaloide final termina por fastidiar una historia que de por sí ya tenía problemas.
05/11/01
Occasionally so inept and embarrassing that it's almost physically painful to sit through.

Top CriticThis review is one of the harshest I've ever written and I can feel myself only getting meaner.
01/25/01
Desperately unfunny, emotionally flat.

If you took My Best Friend's Wedding, showed it to a bunch of kids and then asked them to make the same film, they might come up with something like The Wedding Planner.
01/26/01
A particularly vapid and predictable little romantic bit of cinematic fluff.
01/26/01
An old-fashioned romantic comedy about a career woman who has to choose whether or not to follow her heart.
04/06/01
Lopez and McConaughey aren't the kind of pairing that makes you think these two fit.
01/25/01
Top CriticBegins brightly, then wears on too long and too predictably.
01/26/01
Top CriticConsidering how the Silicon Valley boom has made this the most romantic of cities also the most expensive, you have to admire The Wedding Planner for sustaining the ultimate fairy tale.
01/25/01
One of the more confused romantic comedies.
07/12/02
A lost cause that thinks rowdiness can compensate for a story that just plain doesn't make sense.
01/26/01
Top CriticJennifer Lopez and Matthew McConaughey have no chemistry. None.
01/26/01
May be one of the most cheerfully unamusing movies in a long time.
02/26/02
There are times when the movie's contrivance is agonizing.
01/26/01
Top CriticThe movie is loaded with VCTs (very contrived touches).
