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

Reviews for The Wedding Planner
The film is particularly good at lampooning wedding kitsch, especially the practice of choosing a wedding song to give a theme to a couple and their troth.
01/25/01
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
The screenplay has insurmountable problems.
01/25/01
A chaste, lively and mildly goofy romance to dispel the winter blahs.
01/25/01
Top CriticThis is at best a mediocre piece of fluff that doesn't get beyond the formula.
01/25/01
A bridal train wreck.
01/25/01
The movie is loaded with VCTs (very contrived touches).
01/25/01
A little more coarseness, or at least some originality, might have helped the jokes, which barely rise to the level of might-see TV.
01/25/01
Top CriticAnyone who's read one romance novel knows how this will end, so the only suspense remaining is whose butt will be more fetishized by movie's end.
01/25/01
The perfect little confection for Valentine's Day.

I suggest you RSVP in the negative to this Wedding invitation.

Top CriticDesperately unfunny, emotionally flat.
01/25/01
The film's greatest flaw is its miscast leads, who conjure up zero dewy-eyed, wish-fulfillment magic.
01/25/01
Top CriticIt becomes increasingly contrived and drawn out.
01/25/01
Top CriticIf you liked that film with Julia Roberts and Dermot Mulroney, you're sure to feel at home at this one with Jennifer Lopez and Matthew McConaughey.
01/25/01
Top CriticLopez and McConaughey aren't the kind of pairing that makes you think these two fit.
01/25/01
Top CriticOn its own flyweight terms, The Wedding Planner is an appealing movie.
01/25/01
Top CriticThe plot ... spews cliches like a drunken best man toasting the groom.
