The Engagement Ring (2005)

The family dynamics are hysterical and the actors were the perfect choices for the roles. The chemistry between Emily and Tony (and her mother, father, and his uncle) is both heart warming and hysterical. What a light-hearted romantic comedy full of laughter, love, and wit. The "family" scene at the end is perfect - the writing, music, scenery, and acting couldn't have been more "on". And the food - made me hungry for a bite as well. Viewers need to realize it's a light-hearted comedy, not a drama, and enjoy the cheeky-ness of the banter and discord between the characters. Reminded me of the campy movies from the 60s, cheeky like Doris Day but with an Italian attitude. Enjoyed it so much, I watched it again that same afternoon!

So many bad movies made today but this one is a darling! Patricia Heaton was perfect in her role as Sarah. You will want to see this light hearted movie again and again Made me want to visit Napa again and do a little wine tasting! I wondered how they would handle the situation of the Mom and Dad with Mom's old flame showing back up! Great writing, great directing and great acting by all made it a sleeper that I wish I had known about years ago If your looking for action, this movie is not it but if your looking for love, laughs and funny family spats, this fits the bill to a T! I am not going to give up the ending, but it will not disappoint you!

i so enjoyed this movie, that i would love to be able to own it. i saw it in the wee hours of the morning this past week & wish to the heavens i'd had the good sense to tape it. being that i didn't, i am now going to make it a mission of mine to find it on video/DVD so that i can share it with my entire family. it was one of the most wonderful movies i've Ever seen!!!! the acting, the scenery, the music, everything was awesomely done & completely brilliant!!!!! kudos to the actors/actresses, the producer, the director, everyone having anything to do with the making of this movie!!! there should be more movies like this made!!! also, it was fantastic to see Ms. Kazan acting again!!!!!!! i hadn't seen her in anything lately, so it was a wonderful surprise. Ms. Heaton did a superb job as well! it was great seeing her in something besides series t.v. she is a very talented actress!!! thank you for making this movie to all involved! sincerely, Chris Jones

I found The Engagement Ring to be one of the most enjoyable movies I've seen in a long time. The actors were perfectly cast in the roles and the storyline was quite amusing. It centers around an engagement ring that was lost in the mail 40 years before. When found, it is sent on its way. When the intended finally receives it, she does not immediately feel sadness for what might have been, but continues to allow her 40 year old bitterness free reign. That is where the movie becomes unpredictable and funny.Though I would have liked it more if the fighting had not occurred, the story would not have been nearly as interesting. And the younger couple would not have had the chance to get together. All in all, I'd recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys a romance with a twist.
