Wedding Daze

Its a typical American feel-good movie which is supposed to be a romantic comedy. The comedy is hard to spot and an hour and a half of predictable romances is just too much. There are no real turns in the plot and you already know the end of the movie within the first half hour. The only good thing about the movie is the feel-good part of it. It does make you relax and feel all romantic, although this is often spoiled by a moment of simple humor. If you're looking for a movie to watch when you're really feeling like simple humor and not too much thinking to do, this is it, else don't do it because you won't survive for an hour and a half.

This TV movie was nothing more than a cheap knockoff of "Father of the Bride", right down to the sarcastic but loving gray-haired dad, the tolerant,laid-back mom and the wacky wedding planner with an accent. There was even a similar "locked out of a room/falling off a balcony" scene. The only thing that was different in this movie was, obviously, the three brides. That seems more a result of the writers saying "What can we do to make this seem like less of an exact copy of 'Father of the Bride'?" The plot was fairly predictable and the characters were either stereotypical (the "model", the "rebel") and one-sided or boring.

This made for TV film seems to be a remake/update of the classic 70's TV film All My Darling Daughters from 1972 w/Robert Young,Sharon Gless,Judy Strangis et all..Anybody else notice this? I know some producer or scriptwriter saw the original and came up with the idea to do a updated remake,has to be,since they're doing updated remakes left and right these days.Since there was a sequel to the original (All My Darling Daughters Anniversary 1973) wonder if they'll do another (Wedding Daze Again ??) Nice to see Karen Valentine back in action in a TV film,where has this talented actress been hiding..? She did many great TV films during the 70's and 80's (Coffee,Tea Or Me? 1972,Daughters Of Joshua Cabe 1972,Muggable Mary Street Cop 1982 come to mind) Lets hope she decides to do more..

This film is a lot of fun! Okay, it isn't any 10 star flick, but I just caught it on the Hallmark Channel and have to say that I really liked it! I believe that you really can't make a close-to-home, realistic wedding flick because EVERYONE has a different type of wedding/experience. These girls choose the "traditional" expensive outdoor catered wedding with all the bells and whistles...

The film is a bit like Father of the Bride times three (and I'm sure took a beating from critics for that), but the writer manages still to focus on a doting father giving the girls the wedding they deserve and have dreamed of! I really liked how all of the girls had the (unrealistic, yes) spirit of sharing and giving and they DID NOT become self-centered bridezillas come the day of the event.

The movie does a great of showing the importance of family especially making a wedding a FAMILY event. I enjoyed this! I would recommend this movie to anyone who wants to see a fun, comedic movie about a wedding. Any girl stressed about being a bride should totally see this movie...and relax a bit!

I really enjoyed this film because it was done very well! I like the comedic touch portrayed by John Laroquette, whom I usually am not that crazy about! He was really great in this film though and the story is summarized mainly by him about his daughters all coming home at the same time, for different reasons, but it turns out that they are really there, perhaps unbeknownst to them, for the same reason! Wedding bells are ringing! I am glad to see Karen Valentine again for the first time in a long time! Valentine and Laroquette really showed great chemistry together too! Even though this film is a little far-fetched, I think it was done very tastefully, and it was very entertaining to say the least! Besides, strange things are known to happen in life! This is a very happy family that is portrayed in the film! If you get a chance, see this good, not too sweet or sour, family film! 8 out of 10!
