Looking for a Date Movie?
If its mindless, mushy love pap you're looking
for then you've got it with "The Wedding Planner".
After seeing Jennifer Lopez in "The Cell" (did anybody
find a workable plot in there???), its quite a surprise
to see her as the love interest in her next film.
No serial killers here, no dissected horses, and,
sorry ladies, no nude, bongo-playin' Matt McConaughey
either!!!
Lopez plays the sweet, innocent, obsessive-compulsive
wedding planner who goes home every night and folds
the sheets on the bed neatly . . . while she's in
it. McConaughey plays "Eddie", the nice guy pediatrician
who saves her from a fate worse than being smoked
by a dumpster. And of course, after the near-death
incident, romance ensues. Only it just so happens
that Eddie is engaged to Miss Wedding Planner's
biggest client (played by the cringe-inducing Brigitte
Wilson). The usual cutesy-poo, romance-comedy stuff
ensues and most of it is pretty predictable, but,
Lopez and McConaughey have enough chemistry to pull
it off without leaving you too disappointed.
So, I guess I'd have to say that if its date
movie material you're after, then you've got it.
