My wife wanted a romantic movie night. I'm not one for that kind of stuff. But, to keep the peace, I agreed. I have to say the movie was visually stunning. I'm literally looking at booking a family trip to Costa Rica now. It was so lush and clean and it just felt like an escape to a tropical paradise. And the women in the film were all beautiful, even the mom of the bride, played by Maureen Kedes, they dressed her kind of mom-like-dorky, but you could tell she was hot. The lead guy and the girl, Chris Russell and Rhiannon Fish were like Barbie and Ken. Just sort of hopelessly perfect and the acting was realistic. Granted, some of the situations and lines were beyond DORKY, it kind of added to the humor. I did a spit take on my beer at some of the dialogue from all the characters. So, even though I was laughing at it, I was laughing with it -so I was thoroughly entertained. I felt like the writer must have intended that...like they knew it was goofy but wrote it anyway. I thought the real winner of the movie was the supporting cast, the wedding party. Really would have liked to see more from all of them! The two dads, John Bridell and Gregory Mitchell were great and I really got a kick out of that sarcastic, nasty, bitchy - but simultaneously, lovely mom...she was so funny. Kinda reminded me of someone who was sitting next to me watching the movie!
