Maybe I shouldn't comment on this movie as I couldn't finish watching it. It was that bad. I like romantic comedies; and I don't mind if the story is predictable as long as the leading characters have charisma. This movie had nothing going for it.I am a guy and Denise Richards was unwatchable. She and her character seemed to be fake and shallow. Her character can't forgive her ex-husband for cheating on her but has no problem with a groom pursuing her, and seems to be flattered by his attention. It doesn't seem to matter he will be wed in a month's time in an upcoming wedding she is planning. I guess this is because they "met cute" and she is single and supposedly "not looking" and doesn't need a man. After realizing this is her character I gave up on the movie as I found her offensive. Denise Richards has no acting ability or charisma to allow me to overlook her character's hypocrisy.Dean Cain was OK as his role was just to be the "perfect guy". His role was just to be eye candy to the women and gay men watching this movie. Just ignore that his character is pursuing Denise Richards when he is about to be married in a month to another woman.Denise Richard's voice over describing her actions shows how bad this movie is. Rather than have us learn her character and motivations by her actions we can just listen to her drone on about what is happening. Who needs to watch the movie - just close your eyes and listen. The voice over is often the writer's lazy and/or incompetent way of writing and usually is a sign of a bad movie when they have to tell you what is going on.If you are in the mood for a romantic comedy, watch a screwball comedy from the 1930s with either Jean Arthur, Myrna Loy, or Jean Harlow. These are smart, witty, funny women with charisma.

Lauren (Denise Richards) works for a well-known wedding planner as a "junior" planner. This means, essentially, that Lauren does all of the hard work and the lady above her gets all of the glory. At an unusual wedding, a groom decides to repel his way down the church for a big entrance. Alas, he gets stuck. Lauren does her part by keeping the gentleman calm as the fire department arrives. It is there that she meets Nick (Dean Cain), a friendly fireman and a cute one, too. But, horrors. Meeting up with a client a couple of days later, Lauren is dumbstruck to learn that Nick is the impending groom. Then, why do you suppose he is making so many friendly overtures to Lauren? This a cute knockoff of the Wedding Planner. Richards is lovely and funny as the super-organized planner and Cain is, as always, warm, charming, and adorable as the love interest. The rest of the cast is more than adequate, the script is humorous, and the costumes very beautiful. There is a darling and clever canine in the film, too. As a Lifetime movie, this one takes a wee walk on the wild side with a bride who is having an affair with the potential groom's brother. However, in most cases, do not let that discourage you from finding the film. It is a nicely romantic and mirthful movie that will be pleasing to romcom fans everywhere.

this was undoubtedly a woman's film. Just the kind of film for a night-in.Denise Richards (Lauren) and Dean Cain (Nick) have good chemistry in this film, maybe it's because they are old friends in real life, & i think this comes through.This was a very well acted movie and showed everyone that Dean Cain can play a comedy role and is not just a 'hunk'. His acting skills improved with every role.This is the first time i have seen Denise Richard's in a leading role and she played the part well, although the voice-over, with her thoughts and comments, was very annoying. I love the scene in the wedding shop and Darla trying on so many dresses!The down side was as someone else has already stated why Lauren should ever have married Brad, who is a jerk, i will never know. He was the most irritating person in this movie.Rating: out of 5: ****

This movie seems to be a remake of The Wedding Planner, but I like this new version better.The movie would have been even better had the characters Lauren and Nick not slept together. They didn't even know each other well enough yet, not to mention the fact that they weren't married or, at the very least, engaged.Dean Cain did a great job of playing the sweet firefighter Nick, and I was impressed that the actors who played Nick, J, and Rick looked so much alike.Overall, I deem this movie Re-watchable.
