My First Wedding

My fiancée wanted to rent this movie since we are getting married in about 4 months. I knew just from the cover I was going to hate it, but I just went along. Well, I did hate it. And so did she. The storyline was absurd; even though it IS a movie, no one in their right mind would believe that a real priest would act the way that the one in this movie does. The acting was definitely lacking - there were many scenes that just looked so unrehearsed it was sad. The priest character had some absolutely ridiculous acting scenes. I wouldn't waste your $3.95 or whatever you may pay to rent this one. I would have rated it a negative if that was an option.

This movie has some very funny scenes.

The lead actor is a natural comedian. He reminded me a little of a young Jim Carrey (not quite as over the top though.) I would expect that he might have a bright future ahead in the movie industry if more lead roles come his way.

The story is simple and enjoyable. It also has great comedic timing throughout the film. It won't win any Oscars but I have seen far worse scripts than this one.

I'm not sure why some previous reviewers were so harsh on it. It is a very upbeat, light and watchable movie.

So it ain't so. Why am I constantly disappointed every time I see a Rachel Leigh Cook movie? Her beauty always draws me in, but the lousy scripts that she's constantly attached to always leave me running for the exit. This film is just another example of a film maker taking a beautiful, talented actress and shoving her into a predictable cookie cutter film that lacks originality. I've seen this movie a hundred times before in the last 10 years and I guess I must be a glutton for punishment because as long as I read in the entertainment section of the paper that a goddess like Rachel Leigh Cook is going to be on the big screen I will show up. One of these days I'm hoping I will see her in a film that will be worthy of her talent. This film does not qualify.

Hi. Saw this on an afternoon on HBO with no expectations. I found myself laughing very hard at many parts. The charade part was especially hilarious ! Also, Nick's character and the acting from Kenny Doughty was great. Rachel Leigh looks great like always. Kenny is a great find and a nice English accent. So an OK movie by all means. See it if you have the chance on TV. I don't know why the previous posters were so mean with the film. Maybe they just expect every film to be Oscar level or a $100 million romantic comedy. It's just a Canadian/UK co-production and it succeeds at least in being funny. Watch it and you won't regret!

I did not know this Kenny Doughty character before, but boy he must be a funny actor in his native country...

Though first bill is done by my favorite actress, it is Doughty which makes the show here, making a false Irish priest who accidentally takes a confession for a fiancée and then tries to do everything to win her,despite the fact she wants to remain with her future husband.

Rachael Leigh Cook makes a good job here, however, I would rather recommend showing her talent on mainstream movies (ex: Into the West, Las Vegas and soon to be released "Nancy Drew") and video game voices rather than direct to video clubs movies that people would see only to spend an afternoon home.

For the rest, a movie worth to watch for if you like romantic comedies.

However, Montreal is not mentioned in this movie, but just seeing some french Canadian signs, we might imagine the action is passing there.

Anyway, worth a look, especially for this fake Priest
