Wedding Daze (2008)

This is a straightforward romcom based on the initial premise that Anderson (Jason Biggs) jokingly asks waitress and complete stranger Katie (Isla Fisher) to marry him, she accepts, and they find themselves forging ahead in a relationship which neither of them really meant to enter into.Comedy is an odd business. It is often based around people behaving in ways in which they simply would not behave in real life. For instance, while Anderson might come out with a jokey proposal and Katie might accept, the acceptance would be equally jokey and the matter would go no further. She certainly wouldn't ditch her job and move in with him later that day. Films require suspension of disbelief to a greater or larger extent, and if you can't accept that initial unlikely action, then the film isn't going to work for you. I often have problems with this.But the problems I have are usually character-based rather than events-based and, here, the characters are fine. Biggs is his usual amiable twit, and Fisher is engaging (in more ways than one, apparently). In fact, Fisher shows here a flair for physical comedy (and particularly facial comedy acting) which she has shown in other films, and which is a great strength of hers. I liked the characters, so I was happy to follow the trail of improbabilities.Because what happens after the initial set up is every bit as daft and unlikely as that set up. It is populated with daft and unlikely characters, but they are all likable. And, importantly, the script, and most of the situations, are funny. There is some deft and amusing dialogue, and some laugh out loud moments (several involving Edward Herrmann and Margo Martindale) as Anderson's parents.I sat in my living room at 2am, watching this on my own, staying up for the last half hour, knowing I had to get up for work in the morning, because it kept making me laugh. Make no mistake - it is ridiculous. But it is also funny.

I must admit that I have no one to blame but myself for seeing this movie...but I wish I did. Living in a place without English writing means I must judge things by their cover. Since I saw the two actors I assumed two things; that the movie would be in English and that it would be funny. I now even wish that it wasn't in English, because maybe then I would be able to assume that I missed something. The fact is I have never seen a movie that is even close to this bad. I am ashamed to say that I stayed through the whole thing hoping for a redeeming scene or at least a moment. Unfortunately, like the train wreck that it was, things only got worse. Be warned that you will never get the 91 minutes back, but in comparison everything else will seem Oscar worthy.

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.

I don't know about you, but when I saw this movie I knew what to expect of it. I mean, what more can u expect from a movie that stars Jason Biggs and Isla Fisher and it's called "Wedding Daze" except another romance flick where two people run over some bumps, but in the end they straighten all up? And that's what this film has to offer: one hour and almost thirty minutes of pure relaxation and some laughs. By saying this I address all you uptight "movie critics" that take it way too seriously.The plot isn't that very original, the acting is bearable, the funny situations that pop during the film are quite decent, Isla Fisher is great and it all ends well. To really have a treat out of it, see it with someone you care about, trust me, it'll do the job.
