just watch it!

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

I watched this movie on a commercial channel. Despite the commercial interruptions, I was surprised and impressed with the writing and the Direction. Filled with talented actors (Talia Shire and Burt Young of "Rocky" fame team up again, this time as husband and wife) who deliver, this film reminded me of "The Big Chill", because it is an ensemble effort, and it works. Allisa Milano (bit part) gives a great performance as an angry love interest, and the rest of the cast takes turns delivering strong performances that resonate emotionally. I believed the stories that these actors told; they developed characters that are familiar to us all. A bit smarmy, and perhaps predictable, nevertheless this movie has high entertainment value, for those who enjoy a good chick flick. A good movie to watch with someone you care for. ~abc

When I first saw this on TV, I thought it would be just another bland chick flick. I missed part of it, so I ended up renting it later. This is actually an excellent film-a moving drama about a family. Yes, there is some decent comedy too. The plot revolves around three sisters coming home for their other sister's wedding. The sisters all have different personalities and lifestyles- each one being an archetype/stereotype(I think). The family is this film is Italian and Catholic, so that colored the film. I'm not Italian, so I didn't really relate much to that aspect. I did appreciate the Catholicism in the film since I myself am Catholic. I admired Danni and her fiancée for remaining true to their faith by waiting for marriage to make love. That is a hard thing to do, especially in this over-sexed culture. Her three sisters don't make it any easier for her. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying she was perfect. They are all flawed but interesting characters in their own ways. I'm not sure why Danni thought she was ugly compared to her other sisters. I thought she was the most beautiful one of all(on the inside and the outside)! There were a couple of "Catholic" things in the movie that seemed strange or just wrong to me. I've never heard of a "bed blessing" before. Is that some old Italian Catholic thing? I like most of what the mother said about sex, but she is wrong to buy into the canard that the Church forbids or frowns upon sexual pleasure(a common misconception). The Catholic Church teaches that sexual pleasure is a good thing if it is gained in the proper moral, marital context- the exact situation that Danni's mom was discussing. Maybe the Church didn't always do a good job teaching that in the past, or maybe their opponents have just been good at spreading misinformation and half truths. I don't want to dwell on that one scene. The movie is generally quite good. Yes, this is mostly a chick flick, but it is a magnificent one. That means a lot coming from a man!

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I submit that this is one of the worst films of the 21st century. Insipid plotting and dialog and inefficient acting even from seasoned pros like Talia Shire and Burt Young. This was advertised as a feel-good romantic comedy. If this is a feel-good comedy, then "War and Peace" must've been a laugh riot.Granted, this film garnered an 'R' rating for good reasons. There are scenes of drug use and gratuitous nudity which, frankly, did not advance the plot one whit. The entire film seemed to flirt with borderline porn in both the editing and the directing and the music on the soundtrack seemed to be for a different movie altogether.Please do not waste your time on this movie. It will be ninety minutes of your life you can never get back!

"Kiss the Bride" is a movie about all of us - young and old, simple or sophisticated - but mostly it's about love..."new wave" love versus the old fashioned kind. It's remarkably energetic cast compels us to join the members of this family as they return home bringing together their diverse worlds in a clash of life styles that tests the strength of an impending marriage before it ever happens. There's fun, romance and a pulsating musical score that blends perfectly with a gorgeous New England sea-side setting. At its core, the film has an essence of old-world values that we all need to revisit. "Kiss the Bride" is, indeed, a wedding made in heaven for these stressful times.
