Reviews for The Wedding Planner
For all its attempts to call up old movies and also update them, it ends up being more dunderheaded than quick-witted.

The film is just plain stupid, consisting of ridiculous, random setups designed to get our star-crossed lovers intertwined, with an inevitable punch line to pay it all off.

Like one of those elaborately-decorated cakes at wedding receptions that proves tasteless and indigestible when one bites into it.

An inane romantic comedy that makes you wonder if the Writers Guild hasn't already gone on strike.

A predictable bore.
