Romancing The Bride (2005)

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. There's no unnecessary buildup to the plot line; it gets going right after the credits. Prepon, from That 70s Show, is not much different from her character on the show. It will be interesting to see if she turns out to be more than a one note actress.There are some unbelievable moments (beside the whole premise of the movie): like changing clothes with handcuffs on. How does one pull a top over their head with cuffs on!?!? Things like that really annoy me.Carrie Fiaher's character is laugh out loud funny as 'The Ugly American' in another country. The leading male character is a good looking and funny actor. This was a pretty good romantic comedy. After reading some of the other reviews I almost skipped this one but I'm glad I didn't.

This is a great movie - I bought it as soon as the DVD was released! The main characters are great and believable - but Carrie Fisher makes this movie! As mother of the bride she is over the top and hysterically funny! The stuff she does is just crazy - who would think of telling their future son-in-law that his bride is out having "vaginal rejuvenation" to work out her stress? She is funny, sarcastic and waaaayyyyyy over the top! It's a great love story without her - with her and her dramatics - makes it a great and funny movie. The romance is pretty hot as well, Matt and Laurie really bring it on and there's definitely chemistry between them - and Matt is totally hot and lucky us, takes off his shirt and gets wet as well. Even my mom loved this movie when she borrowed it - I was lucky to get my DVD back! I guess I'll have to buy her her own copy!

I can't imagine what would have possessed Carrie Fisher to be in this movie. Maybe she had a big house payment looming...I can't say. But I can't think of one good reason to watch this movie, so don't ask me why I did.It opens with Melissa (Laura Prepon from That 70's Show) waking up next to Carlos (Matt Cedeño) the day before her wedding. There's just one problem...Carlos isn't Melissa's intended groom. She's hung over and doesn't remember anything from the previous evening, not even marrying a total stranger.What follows is your typical meant-for-each-other-but-they-don't-know-it comedy of errors that won't provide any surprises. The few laughs (and I'm talking 1 or 2) come from Carrie Fisher as Melissa's headstrong mother. The only good thing I can say is Matt Cedeño is quite easy on the eyes, and the scenery is breathtaking. So unless you're a bride-to-be scouting locations for your honeymoon like the previous reviewer (I mean really...ever heard of a vacation planner?) you should avoid this movie.

I really enjoyed this movie. The cast is wonderful and seem to work well together. Laura and Matt definitely have great on screen chemistry. I love it when Mellissa attacks the cop and takes off only to end up in crocodile infested waters. Carrie had me laughing throughout the whole movie! (I originally watched this because she was in it, now I'd watch it again for the movie itself.) My favorite line from this movie is when Edwina(Fisher)says: "Are you trying to tell me you got loaded and laid the day before your wedding, who do you think you are, Me?" I also love how Edwina stops Bryan from telling his parents the wedding is off. I have to give Mellissa's sister some credit for threatening to make it her mission in life to marry a Mexican man if her mother didn't let Carlos go. If you like light romantic comedies, then this is the perfect movie for you.
