How does the Tomatometer work Help Icon

Reviews Counted:101

Fresh:16

Rotten:85

Average Rating:3.8/10

Consensus: Instead of being light and charming, this romantic comedy is heavy-handed and contrived in its execution. Also, it's too unoriginal.

Rated: PG-13 [See Full Rating] for language and some sexual humor

Runtime: 1 hr 44 mins

Genre: Comedies

Theatrical Release:Jan 26, 2001 Wide

Box Office: $59,900,022

Synopsis: Jennifer Lopez is Mary, a peppy career woman who is great at what she does: she can turn any wedding into the perfect romantic event.

Jennifer Lopez is Mary, a peppy career woman who is great at what she does: she can turn any wedding into the perfect romantic event. Incurably single, she feels she's hit the jackpot when a chance encounter introduces her to Steve (Matthew McConaughey), a doctor. What she doesn't know--and what Steve doesn't reveal--is that he is soon to marry Fran (Bridgette Wilson-Sampras), one of her high-powered clients. As the attraction between Mary and Steve grows stronger, they are thrust into a series of comically unpleasant situations which force them to confront their feelings for one another. Custom-built for Lopez's undeniable star power, THE WEDDING PLANNER is an easygoing crowd pleaser. [More]

May be one of the most cheerfully unamusing movies in a long time.

An old-fashioned romantic comedy about a career woman who has to choose whether or not to follow her heart.

This is exactly the kind of movie that thinks it's funny for someone to be demolished by a speeding dumpster.

A commonplace little offering, low on charm, but trudging ahead anyway, with nary a laugh.

... so short of substance, so lacking in vigour and so forgettable that it’s just not possible to work up a good hatred.
