Advantages: sweet, fun and entertaining

Disadvantages: weak plot

This is one of those films that's regularly on TV and i always find myself watching it. It's one of those films that's perhaps not very memorable so you find yourself not minding watching it again and when you do it's thoroughly enjoyable. It's your typical romantic comedy really, gorgeous guy and girl meet, some funny stuff happens as they get to know each other and they end up together. So the plots predictable but if you wanted to be shocked and surprised this wouldn't be the genre you'd pick. Instead you look beyond the weak plot and go for the feel good factor and this is one thing that the film has lots of.

Mary (played by Jennifer Lopez) is a very talented wedding planner with a rule never to fall for the groom so as Steve (McConaughey) and his fiancee elicit her help she finds it hard to stick to those rules. The film's quirky, quick witted and there are plenty of moment in the film which make you laugh and smile.

The cast do an amazing job and you can definitely feel the chemistry between our two main characters. They bounce of each other and the speech seems real and it naturally flows. The story definitely has a fairytale feel about it and it makes you want to root for them even though you feel sorry for the bride to be.

Males probably won't enjoy this film, it's more a film for a girly night in, ice cream and a glass of wine. Very cliched like the film but also fun and sweet and perfect.

Summary: Great girly film to enjoy
