Consensus: Instead of being light and charming, this romantic comedy is heavy-handed and contrived in its execution. Also, it's too unoriginal.

Jennifer Lopez is Mary, a peppy career woman who is great at what she does: she can turn any wedding into the perfect romantic event. Incurably single, she feels she's hit the jackpot when a chance encounter introduces her to Steve (Matthew McConaughey), a doctor. What she doesn't know--and what Steve doesn't reveal--is that he is soon to marry Fran (Bridgette Wilson-Sampras), one of her high-powered clients. As the attraction between Mary and Steve grows stronger, they are thrust into a series of comically unpleasant situations which force them to confront their feelings for one another. Custom-built for Lopez's undeniable star power, THE WEDDING PLANNER is an easygoing crowd pleaser. [More]

Reviews for The Wedding Planner
The script recycles every cliché you could possibly imagine (and then some).
The Wedding Planner is a bit of fluff, but fluff can be entertaining taken in light doses.
Its manner is as light as wedding cake frosting and its lead performances are as poised as the bride and groom at the top of the cake.
Although Lopez projects her usual charisma here, McConaughey seems as out of place as Will Rogers playing Rhett Butler.
