Vanessa (Rachael Leigh Cook) is a beautiful young lady on the verge of marriage. With the ceremony only three days away, Vanessa is having some problems, however. Her rich, good-looking fiancé, Andre (Paul Hopkins), after sowing some wild oats in his twenties, decreed that the couple would not sleep together until after the ceremony, and Vanessa's hormones are raging. She ogles every handsome man she meets on the street and has wild daydreams about going to bed with strangers. That's why she stops at St. Andrews Catholic church and heads for the confessional, so that she can enlist the help of a priest in learning how to handle her impulses. But, what fun, a carpenter, Nick (Kevin Doughty) is inside the "box" making repairs when she comes to confess and she spills the beans to him, instead. Playing along as a young man of the cloth, Nick is struck by Vanessa's beauty and wit. That is why he agrees to meet with her later that evening, for coffee, to discuss the situation in more detail. Naturally, Nick falls for Vanessa and tries to break up the wedding plans. Can he succeed? This film starts off wonderfully, with humor and direction but soon loses sizzle. There are some fun scenes, such as the one where Nick is counseling Vanessa and her bridesmaids during a "girl talk" meeting or another where Nick decides to "mime" a message so that he won't violate confidentiality rules by speaking out of line. LOL. But, the plot wears thin after awhile and becomes pedestrian. Even so, Cook is lovely (as always) and funny, Doughty a stitch, and Hopkins one great "piece" of eye-candy. The costuming is especially wonderful, as are the sets, including Vanessa's knockout apartment and Andre's posh mansion. All in all, if you are a romcom fan, you will chuckle over this one, mostly, and adore the players. But, your overall satisfaction will just make it to the "fair" level by film's end.

The fact that this movie stayed on the shelf for over 2 years should be a good indication as to how awful it is.Good looking sex-starved Vanessa, who is not a catholic, walks into a catholic church to confess that even if she's getting married in 3 days, she hasn't slept with her fiancé and she wants to sleep with every guy she sees.Well, believe it or not, the man listening to her confession is the church's handyman, Nick.Of course, Nick wants to take advantage of the situation, so he impersonates a priest and tries to get in bed with Vanessa.Shades of "Three's Company" as far as credibility goes...The improbable premise prevents you from believing everything that happens from that point. If you watch this, you'll suffer through 90 minutes of attempted humor delivered by bad actors in a movie shot in a bleak autumn-feeling Montreal that has rarely looked this bad.Michel Cusson's music is up to the crummy standard he has reached since taking his clichéd TV work to the DTV world: Johann Pachelbel must be turning in his grave ! Another score written while sleepwalking and dreaming of that small check he's gonna cash, laughing all the way to the bank (and leaving any self-esteem behind...). A truly annoying score.Rachael Lee Cook is still a looker, but her bad acting makes her unsympathetic character look truly retarded. Too bad she doesn't have the skill to match that cute face...In the end **spoiler** the guy gets the girl he deserves and you get to hate yourself from having wasted your time, yet again, on a clunker filled with unknowns and a cute young actress who'll never rise above this crap.

I did not know this Kenny Doughty character before, but boy he must be a funny actor in his native country...Though first bill is done by my favorite actress, it is Doughty which makes the show here, making a false Irish priest who accidentally takes a confession for a fiancée and then tries to do everything to win her,despite the fact she wants to remain with her future husband.Rachael Leigh Cook makes a good job here, however, I would rather recommend showing her talent on mainstream movies (ex: Into the West, Las Vegas and soon to be released "Nancy Drew") and video game voices rather than direct to video clubs movies that people would see only to spend an afternoon home.For the rest, a movie worth to watch for if you like romantic comedies.However, Montreal is not mentioned in this movie, but just seeing some french Canadian signs, we might imagine the action is passing there.Anyway, worth a look, especially for this fake Priest

I saw this film at the Hollywood Film Festival recently and it was a lot of fun. It's a great date movie. In the film Rachael Leigh Cook is a jittery bride to be -- basically she's like a guy (only much cuter) who thinks about sex and buys all the time. She confides in her local priest only it's not her priest but the local carpenter and he falls in love with her and must stop her wedding. My date and I had a lot of fun watching this film and if you are a fan of Julia Stiles (Save the Last Dance, The Prince & I), Hilary Duff (Perfect Man) or Lindsey Lohan(Mean Girls) then you'll love this film!!! Take your boyfriend to see it and if you're a guy, trust me, take your girlfriend. I highly recommend it.
