The Wedding Dress Trailers

When Hannah Pinkham's fiancé writes he's finally shipping home, her mother makes a fairy tale wedding dress, but while she's fitting it the knock on the door is not him, but the dreaded officer-messenger. Years later she sends it to her nephew, photographer Travis Cleveland, but his model-bride Cass only pretends to like it to get rid of his loyal assistant. After he walks off with it, his car gets stolen with the dress in it... And it keeps passing on from person to person, but will anybody actually get married in it or does it just keep bringing bad luck to couples?

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

I enjoyed the movie very much... I'm a huge fan of NPH and he was very adorable in this movie. Most of the characters were great. I agree with another comment that the youngest couple was a little unnecessary. It was somewhat difficult, though, for me to get past the pure and simple ugliness of that wedding dress. The basis for every story was how wonderful and gorgeous the dress was. If someone didn't know the sentimentality of its back-story, there is very little chance they would think it was pretty. After 1984, very few people would be caught dead in a dress like that on their wedding day. At one point it was "updated" and was the best it looked. But it was a very cute story, the various story lines kept the movie from dragging, and it was very lighthearted. Happy endings all around!

This movie does have many stories in them, but I found it interesting how they dovetail together. It is a movie well worth watching. Tyne Daley has certainly handed down her acting skill to her daughter (especially when she plays her own daughter). I enjoyed it and found myself "feeling good" when it ended. I watch for enjoyment, not necessarily for reality.

They don't make 'em like this any more. Blood! Gore! Sex! That's all you see now. Or, if they want it to be family entertainment, it is so white bread you sit and say, "What world is this from?" But not this movie. This harkens back to the good old days of movie making, and it's about time! The Wedding Dress was delightfully twisty and turny, with chuckles *and* tears - just like real life happens to be - though the interweaving of the couples might be a bit far fetched. I accepted it, though, as a flashback to the movies of bygone days that tied it all in a neat little parcel while expecting a certain amount of suspension of disbelief. Hey, this is *entertainment* - Lighten up! That every couple touched by this special dress attended the wedding at the end (and though the dress affected them all, it was only worn to *one* very special nuptial) was just wonderful. Can we have more of these, please?

Being Neil Patrick Harris's BIGGEST fan, this movie was to cute!! The plot line was something very unique and nothing I have ever heard of in the past. After the movie I logged on to Amazon to see if it was based on a book, however, sadly I didn't find anything that said it was. And of course it helped that the movie ended just the way it should!! If you missed it the first time, find someone who taped it or look for it in reruns because it's worth the effort especially if you love Neil Patrick Harris too!!
