The Wedding Planner (DVD)

What about Jennifer Lopez. She's a woman so universally trashed, its a wonder she even wants to work anymore. If she releases a record, it sovershadowed by those claims that she has a staff of 10 purely to clean her gravity-defying butt. If she releases a film, nobody cares whether she is any good or not. The critics are more interested in how many inches are taken off said butt for the promo posters. On the rare ocassions that the critics get round to talking about her craft, they might as well have not bothered, given the tiny amount of column inches it takes up. Lopez is an unlikely rom-com leading lady, she isn't traditionally cutesy in the way that ...  Read the complete review

As i love girly films and chick flicks (much to my boyfriends disappointment!) i thought i would carry on with a review about another great film that i have seen several times. Jennifer Lopez is in this film and i have never really warmed to her much as an actress but i think that she pulls the role of well in this film. If you have never heard of The Wedding Planner, it is a popcorn style girly romantic comedy that came to our screens in 2001. If you think of the type of film where you are swept of your feet by a handsome man, this is it! The film also stars the gorgeous Matthew McConaughey alongside Jennifer Lopez. The film is directed ...  Read the complete review

Her career is her main priority though which doesn't leave time for much else including friendships and relationships.

In the continuing theme of girly films (I have been left on my own A LOT lately between the end of the school year for my teacher husband and stag dos) I recently stumbled upon "The Wedding Planner". Of course by stumbled upon, I mean, pulled out the dvd that I've owned for years and years. Sigh. I'm realising that, when shared with the reviewing world, my dvd collection is a little sad!! In my defence I had spent 4 ½ hours showing my newly engaged friend around all of the bridal shops and wedding goodies that Norwich has to offer that day! So it fit with the theme and I like it when my days have a theme. THE PREMISE "The ...  Read the complete review

This is an adorable movie that follows the life of a hopeless romantic who sits on the sidelines of life instead of jumping in and experiencing life for what it has to offer. She is always helping other find their happy ending that she doesn't take the time to find her own happy ending. A lot of women can relate to this movie because people these days have forgotten to take chances and grab onto the wonders of life. Jennifer Lopez plays Mary Fiore a prominent wedding planner who is very good a planning the lives of other people. She is extremely successful at her job, but that is the only part of her life that seems to be going write. Mary is very good at what ...  Read the complete review
