Love Wedding Marriage



An OK movie - Rent it before you buy it
I bought this movie and watched it hoping for a funny cute romantic story from Mandy Moore. I love the actors in this and thought they would make a good movie, the actors did their best with what was given to them. The script was kind of blah. I enjoyed parts of the movie but will probably never watch it again. So I say rent it before you buy it so you know if you really want to own it!!

A Good Cast, But Few Genuine Laughs--Slapstick, Sitcom Shenanigans, And Silly Psychoanalysis
I've been a fan of actor Dermot Mulroney for over twenty years. His laconic and naturalistic charm has oftentimes been the most interesting thing in his films--even if the movies themselves sometimes missed the mark. The comedic romp "Love, Wedding, Marriage" is his feature film directorial debut (he is NOT in the movie) and, strangely, it lacks the ease and laid-back appeal that I've come to expect from him as an actor. You'd think, at a minimum, he'd be able to coax terrific and funny performances out of his cast to make up for the script's shortcomings. And you're not likely to encounter a larger compendium of TV sitcom cliches than those that comprise the movie's central plot. Here everyone appears to be in a separate movie with key roles being bland, others overwrought, and others constantly bordering on a manic hysteria. Maybe all this would be forgivable if the film aspired to real laughs as opposed to outrageous silliness. You may disagree, but effective romantic...

Great movie
My daughter's and I enjoyed watching this movie. I liked all of the actors and enjoyed watching the different relationships unfold.
