I Do (But I Don't)

I'm a fan of Denise Richards, I admit. I think she is incredibly beautiful and has the potential for being a great actress. Again, I rented this movie from Hollywood Video, I couldn't help myself, I think it's that female magnet thing in my head. :D But seriously, I thought that this was an adorable film that anyone could enjoy. True, mostly girls. But it was still fun.

I didn't realize that this was a made for TV movie, but still it was a good little film. Denise Richards plays a wedding planner who has a mean boss and a client who is a brat. When she meets a hunky fire fighter played by Dean Caine, she is in love. He is interested as well, but she thinks that's her client's fiancée. But when she finds out that he isn't and it's his brother's fiancée, they start a steamy relationship, but then she finds out that the fiancée is sleeping with a certain family member. Can she still trust him and hope her heart doesn't get broken?

You'll have to find out that one for yourself. This is a cute movie to watch with the girls and I'll admit 100% that I enjoyed this film as well.

7/10

Maybe I shouldn't comment on this movie as I couldn't finish watching it. It was that bad. I like romantic comedies; and I don't mind if the story is predictable as long as the leading characters have charisma. This movie had nothing going for it.

I am a guy and Denise Richards was unwatchable. She and her character seemed to be fake and shallow. Her character can't forgive her ex-husband for cheating on her but has no problem with a groom pursuing her, and seems to be flattered by his attention. It doesn't seem to matter he will be wed in a month's time in an upcoming wedding she is planning. I guess this is because they "met cute" and she is single and supposedly "not looking" and doesn't need a man. After realizing this is her character I gave up on the movie as I found her offensive. Denise Richards has no acting ability or charisma to allow me to overlook her character's hypocrisy.

Dean Cain was OK as his role was just to be the "perfect guy". His role was just to be eye candy to the women and gay men watching this movie. Just ignore that his character is pursuing Denise Richards when he is about to be married in a month to another woman.

Denise Richard's voice over describing her actions shows how bad this movie is. Rather than have us learn her character and motivations by her actions we can just listen to her drone on about what is happening. Who needs to watch the movie - just close your eyes and listen. The voice over is often the writer's lazy and/or incompetent way of writing and usually is a sign of a bad movie when they have to tell you what is going on.

If you are in the mood for a romantic comedy, watch a screwball comedy from the 1930s with either Jean Arthur, Myrna Loy, or Jean Harlow. These are smart, witty, funny women with charisma.

In my opinion, this was a good movie and a bad movie at the same time. The plot was too simplistic and the dialogue was cheap, but it had an easygoing feel to it and one can enjoy it without having to pay that much attention. I'll even admit there was somewhat of enough action to keep one interested and that it could be good movie if it had a bigger budget.Denise Richards was okay as the main character, more charming than a convincing actress, but let's just say you could tell it was a Lifetime original movie when you saw the other actors in their parts. Overall, I'd say if you're in the mood for a nice movie with an almost relaxing tone to it, see it on TV or even rent it.

This film is a cheap copy of the same old cliché 30's plus woman who falls in love with the typically perfect guy. Denise Richards is awful in this film, although, her acting improves somewhat towards the end when her character is called upon to be more assertive. I must say however, that NOT using Denise's well-known "assets" as a puller in this film is remarkable on behalf of the director. Surprisingly, Dean Cain carries this film quite well. There are some points of amusement overall, some quirky, black humour thrown in and the climax definitely is a refreshing twist. The narrative of Richard's character throughout the film is very annoying although it does serve a purpose - to remind the viewer that her character does think occasionally. Obviously Richard's is trying to be a credible actress. A good career move with this film, not for the viewer though. Don't waste your money on the video. Wait until it's on TV.

this was undoubtedly a woman's film. Just the kind of film for a night-in.

Denise Richards (Lauren) and Dean Cain (Nick) have good chemistry in this film, maybe it's because they are old friends in real life, & i think this comes through.

This was a very well acted movie and showed everyone that Dean Cain can play a comedy role and is not just a 'hunk'. His acting skills improved with every role.

This is the first time i have seen Denise Richard's in a leading role and she played the part well, although the voice-over, with her thoughts and comments, was very annoying. I love the scene in the wedding shop and Darla trying on so many dresses!

The down side was as someone else has already stated why Lauren should ever have married Brad, who is a jerk, i will never know. He was the most irritating person in this movie.

Rating: out of 5: ****
