Very well executed

Dreadfully Boring

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

It is deep night as i write this but the movie kept me up. The lead role guy is hilarious. And Leigh Cook, oh my god, she's so beautiful.The plot is not something too original (as you could say from the first comments page) but there are many little scenes that have their own charm. I'm no big specialist in actor play but I was really inspired by the play of the lead role guy. It really touched me to heart as he was making everything possible (lots of crazy things anybody would normally do) to be with the girl. Isn't it about life -- if you REALLY want something you will do crazy things to get it. Watch it with your girl/boyfriend if you want a nice romantic movie -- I'm pretty sure you'll like it.

They say nobody is perfect, but I'm starting to think Rachael Leigh Cook might be. She's had the bad luck of doing horrible things but she's also been blessed with parts in good movies; "My first wedding" stands in the middle. Directed by Laurent Firode and written by Joan Carr-Wiggin, this is your everyday romantic comedy but with an unusual theme in its story: a lust problem.Vanessa (Leigh Cook) goes walking on the street and wants to have sex with every man she sees. This part is perfect for the young actress, whose looks are beyond sexy. Her gift for innocence also serves her very well here, as she confronts the 'holy' life of her character with the wild dreams she has every night.So Vanessa is about to get married and she's trying to control her impulses because her fiancée Andre (Paul Hopkins) is very catholic and doesn't believe in sex before marriage. She enters a church to make a confession and Nick (Kenny Doughty), a carpenter working there, poses accidentally as a priest and listens to her problems. As he watches her walking away, he's stunned; so he offers more help with the troubles…Even when he's not a priest.Longer into the film, when Nick says Vanessa is perfect it's impossible not to believe him. Rachael Leigh Cook is indeed perfect and she makes her character that way. However, the credit is not all Rachael's…The British Doughty is a gifted comedian and has the necessary charm for the role of Nick; a deceitful and winning ladies-man who has fallen in love.Yes, we know how the story ends, but that's not a problem in almost every romantic comedy, because if you let yourself go (as I've said many times), things can work. One of this film's few problems is that it doesn't work even when you try to let go. The chemistry between the leads is believable, but maybe the situations they live take it too far.This is not a problem when I watch any romantic comedy, but the little sense of reality and the distance the director seems to put from his characters are elements that don't end up helping the final result. Plus, some funny moments abuse of repetition and even when Doughty is funny, he can't do the same thing several times and still get a laugh."My first wedding" is a film you should see if you are a Rachael Leigh Cook fan. As I read somewhere, "she sizzles"; if you want to catch a romantic comedy where you can get carried away by what doesn't make sense and lies far from reality, get "13 going on 30" or "Love Actually".

The fact that this movie stayed on the shelf for over 2 years should be a good indication as to how awful it is.Good looking sex-starved Vanessa, who is not a catholic, walks into a catholic church to confess that even if she's getting married in 3 days, she hasn't slept with her fiancé and she wants to sleep with every guy she sees.Well, believe it or not, the man listening to her confession is the church's handyman, Nick.Of course, Nick wants to take advantage of the situation, so he impersonates a priest and tries to get in bed with Vanessa.Shades of "Three's Company" as far as credibility goes...The improbable premise prevents you from believing everything that happens from that point. If you watch this, you'll suffer through 90 minutes of attempted humor delivered by bad actors in a movie shot in a bleak autumn-feeling Montreal that has rarely looked this bad.Michel Cusson's music is up to the crummy standard he has reached since taking his clichéd TV work to the DTV world: Johann Pachelbel must be turning in his grave ! Another score written while sleepwalking and dreaming of that small check he's gonna cash, laughing all the way to the bank (and leaving any self-esteem behind...). A truly annoying score.Rachael Lee Cook is still a looker, but her bad acting makes her unsympathetic character look truly retarded. Too bad she doesn't have the skill to match that cute face...In the end **spoiler** the guy gets the girl he deserves and you get to hate yourself from having wasted your time, yet again, on a clunker filled with unknowns and a cute young actress who'll never rise above this crap.

From the start this movie was simply unbelievably awful. Do not use it as a "date movie" - it'll completely sour any amorous intentions. I recorded it to watch it and within twenty minutes was fast forwarding through a lot of it, pausing for only three or four scenes - the character "Nick" was intolerable. T He generates hatred from the start. Dialogue apparently intended to be funny generates a high level of irritation with him instead. The English accent heightens that irritation. As the irritation continues to worsen, you begin to wonder why no one has hit him or thrown him out. The scenes of his invading the "space" of the bride and groom are unbelievable as well. Invading the bride's dressing room without consequence ? Invading the honeymoon without consequence or resistance? After all that, the bride decides she's in love with him ? The jilted groom walks outside and leaves with "Nick's" sister ? Unbelievable. This movie isn't even good enough for straight to video - I'd bet it's gathering dust on the walls of any video store that may be cursed with ownership of it.
