Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
... View MoreThe acting in this movie is really good.
... View MoreThere is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
... View MoreThe story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
... View MoreWe found this movie on Netflix streaming movies. We like Mandy Moore, she stars here as a psychotherapist who has to try to fix up the torn relationship of her parents, seeming to want a divorce after 30 years of marriage. Overall it comes across as a bit disjointed, especially with some of the real goofy scenes, but overall is worth a watch for light entertainment.I also want to mention how disjointed the story's location seems. We learn early that the newlyweds met when she was getting her PhD at Berkeley and he was working in wine-making in the Napa Valley. But the whole movie is set and filmed in the New Orleans area and a plantation home on the Mississippi River, with no hint of how they ended up there. It had me puzzled.Mandy Moore is Ava, the optimistic therapist, her young husband is Kellan Lutz as Charlie. Ava's dad is James Brolin as Bradley, who suddenly decides he will begin to show his "Jewness", and Jane Seymour as Betty is her mother. Her sister in Jessica Szohr as Shelby, my favorite character in this movie. So mom finds out about a very brief affair Charlie had in London some 25 years earlier when they were briefly separated and now she wants a divorce. Ava has to figure out how to make them realize that they really do love each other and want to stay together.A story with many good possibilities but most of them were wasted.
... View MoreBeing a hopeless romantic and having a huge crush on Ms. Moore, I loved this movie as I do everything she's in. To see Mandy's career arc placing her in the ranks of the top actors is a tribute to her talent. Her sweetness, femininity, vulnerability, goodness--even bawdiness at times--assures her longevity as an actor. The wide spectrum of roles she's had--from A Walk to Remember, to Southland, to Dedication, to Tanlged shows the depth of her natural acting skills. May we enjoy Mandy for a long time to come and may she put out another album soon!Love Wedding Marriage leaves its mark as a a creative way to show the boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back formula, and it succeeds because of all the assembled talent and because of Mr. Mulroney's fine direction.Oh--the movie? It was fun, fun, fun through the romance, conflict and romance. Loved it, loved it.
... View MoreWhen I found this film I knew what I was in for. A formulaic romantic comedy that should entertain all of the romantics out there. Although there is not originality there is a certain charm about the film that tops up a lot romantic comedies out there. This is not a film for a film buff to get something out off right when he leaves the theater. This is a film to enjoy while it lasts, and enjoy the beautiful people in this film. This is not a film that will define the way we make films. This is just pure entertainment. So if you go into this film with the exact mind set you will enjoy it like I did. But if you go into this film looking for career changing acting and an original plot then do not watch this film for it is only pure entertainment.
... View MoreI absolutely loved it! I love all types of movies from the Horror Genre to the Romantic Genre. For a romantic comedy I thought the story was great. People will be able to delve into the story and follow the lives of the characters portrayed by a fantastic cast. The character of Ava was perfect for Mandy Moore. She and Kellan Lutz had great chemistry throughout the movie. It was nice seeing Jane Seymour playing the role of Mandy Moore and Jessica Szohr's mom. There are some woman out there that are in the shoes of her character. After several decades of marriage to man you love what would you do if you found out that he had an affair let alone fathered a child from another woman? Of course he didn't know about the child until after Ava's wedding, but at least he stepped up and tried to do something about it. All in all the movie followed the romantic movie recipe; Love+Conflict+Happy Ending=Great Romantic Movie. For a chick-flick I give it two thumbs up. I have seen in 3 times and honestly I would watch it again. Keep making movies like this...there is definitely an audience out there for these types of movies.
