The Wedding Planner
San Francisco's premiere wedding planner, Mary Fiore is rescued from an accident by the man of her dreams, pediatrician Steve Edison, only to find he is the fiancé of her latest client. As Mary continues making their wedding arrangements, she and Steve are put into a string of uncomfortable situations that force them to face their mutual attraction.
Critics Sentiment
Steve finds Mary at outdoor movie screening and they dance kiss
Steve gets his hand stuck to statue's private parts
The film drops significantly during the statue glue comedy sequence before recovering for the romantic climax, a swing of nearly 3 points between the worst and best moments.
The Wedding Planner follows a predictable romantic comedy formula that divides audiences between those who enjoy sweet romantic fluff and those who find it formulaic and poorly executed. The film's chemistry between Lopez and McConaughey receives mixed reactions, while Justin Chambers' Italian stereotype and forced comedy sequences drag down the middle portions. Despite its flaws, the ending provides satisfying romantic closure for viewers who embrace the genre's conventions.
