This is a pleasant little surprise of a movie, I had no real interest in seeing this as it just looked like an 'American Pie' rip off, with Jason Biggs playing Jim from 'American Pie'.The movie stars Jason Biggs and Isla Fisher as two strangers who decide to get married on a whim. So they set off to meet each other's parents to share the good news. So far, this sounds like a series of fairly predictable scenes. But they're redeemed by the writing and acting. There are some charming moments an some laugh out loud momentsThe sequences involving the two sets of parents provide the heart of the movie, they strike just the right balance between affection and humour. There were a lot of scenes I liked, but the movie seemed too tailored to Biggs' American Pie image. Stand out performers for me were Ebon Moss Bachrach, Joe Pantoliano, Joanna Gleason, Edward Herrmann, Margo Martindale and the gorgeous Isla Fisher who I think deserves to be getting better offers than she seems to be.

Romcoms are a tricky genre because there's always the question of plausibility but at the same time it should be entertaining and genuinely funny. And while "Wedding Daze" (aka Pleasure of Your Company) has its share of flaws, it's definitely a movie that made me laugh and swoon! The screenplay is very careless and tends to manipulate the situation in several instances, there are a lot of scenes that drives a home run. Jason Biggs was hilarious in this one. Isla Fisher was more charming in this movie than the high profile "Confessions of a Shopaholic". The supporting cast especially Jason's mom & dad were a riot.What makes this movie a cut above the rest of the romcoms is the fact that: (1) it doesn't try hard to be "logical" and it didn't stick with any known formula, in fact it threw all the rules out of the window... heck love is best when it's spontaneous and crazy! (2) it doesn't try to be charming. If this was marketed well, this could've been a hit! This is so much more fun than a lot of romcoms that have been coming out lately (ie The Back Up Plan, Leap Year, All About Steve, The Bounty Hunter, etc) 6.5/10

Jason Biggs (American Pie) stars as Anderson, a depressed guy who lost his girlfriend by proposing to her. Pushed by his friend, he asks a random waitress to marry him, which she says yes.The idea of this romantic comedy is there. I like the idea of spontaneity but the film lacks humour.Jason Biggs is funny in other films, as is Isla Fisher (Wedding crashers) but this film lacks effort and purpose. It's as if there's no point.Following many conventions of the genre, the film uses physical humour and some really cheesy lines to portray comedy, which is a shame because from the beginning it appeared to be heading somewhere.Its flat, its predictable and repetitive and overall, just boring and familiar.I don't like films which follow patterns and so the ending is scant consolation for that as it is slightly different from other romantic comedies.The acting is average; none of the cast seemed too bothered to put their true potential into the characters.At the end of the day it is a light hearted film which is sweet in its own way. The humour isn't brilliant, like the acting but the idea and the ending are quite interesting.

Shockingly bad movie - daft plot; no development. Made it through 35mins before going to do the dishes (that seemed more enjoyable). Normally enjoy cheesy romantic comedies, but this one lacked romance or comedy- the timing, structured to allow for laughing, just results in long, uncomfortable silences. Has all the jokes from the last 3 American Pie movies but somehow forgets the humor. The penis jokes were funny the first 2 times, but you're out of high school now.... grow up.Not FunnyNot CleverNot worth Downloading via P2P, never mind paying good money for.
