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

Top CriticSuffers particularly in inevitable comparison with My Best Friend's Wedding.
01/31/01
Top CriticMcConaughey is insufferably smug as always, while the bewilderingly miscast Diva appears bored and impatient.
01/31/01
Occasionally so inept and embarrassing that it's almost physically painful to sit through.
01/29/01
Top CriticIt runs of romance and it runs out of laughs.
01/29/01
Top CriticThis is a romantic comedy in a broad farce's clothing, and it doesn't fit worth a darn.
01/29/01
If ever there was proof that a script can by typed without an opposable thumb, this is it.
01/29/01
Combines a poorly written script and actors who, together, have no magnetism at all.
01/26/01
Jennifer Lopez and Matthew McConaughey have no chemistry. None.
01/26/01
If Jennifer Lopez were any more bland and any more beautiful, she could be auctioned as a vase at Sotheby's.
01/26/01
This film gives love a bad name.
01/26/01
So insipid, so willfully bland, that it will probably need no nips, tucks, trims or bleeps to be ready for flight play.
01/26/01
The work of la Lopez, who is as gifted as she is gorgeous, and by McConaughey, a dreamboat when he’s at ease, is more than compensatory.
01/26/01
Top CriticIf 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
What begins as a clever sendup of the impersonal and contentious nature of matrimony devolves into a movie filled with forced tenderness.
01/26/01
The film's many flat, forced attempts at physical and verbal comedy are pretty tiresome.
01/26/01
A pastiche of secondhand ideas gleaned from watching Best Friend's Wedding.
01/26/01
Top CriticA series of contrivances, coincidences, and cliches, all set to a musical score.
