no knowledge of Catholicism

I don't understand why movies try to portray characters of a certain religion when they don't know anything about the religion. I saw the sign of the cross made with the left hand, heard that the church is wrong in teaching that marital intercourse should not be enjoyed (what?!? the Church doesn't teach that at all!), and a supposed Catholic conservative couple get married outside the Church. It takes minimal knowledge to know these and yet they didn't bother to figure it out. It was a cheesy, brainless movie otherwise. If you are looking for a predictable movie that doesn't require your full attention, then this could be what you are seeking.

Another Italo-American crowd pleaser

In case you've been wondering what Burt Young and Talia Shire have been doing lately, Kiss the Bride will let you rest assured that they are still churning out roles in Italo-American crowd pleasers. If you aren't particularly interested in what Burt Young and Talia Shire have been doing lately, then there's absolutely no reason to watch this film. Director Vanessa Parise's Kiss the Bride, is a shamelessly derivative, utterly superfluous contribution to the current inundation of ethnic wedding films. It should be coming soon to your nearest cable station. That's where it belongs.

Insight & Laughter

I found Kiss the Bride to be an edgy, enjoyable, movie ride with some superbly timed dramatic and comedic surprises along the way.

The pace of the movie was good and the score was great - it really complemented the goings-on on screen. The characters all showed varying degrees of insight into familial relationships, making choices about life, and then reevaluating those life choices. Some questions got resolved and answered, to some degree, during the course of the movie, others remained open-ended and unresolved - a lot like life. The characters also showed some pretty human flaws like insensitivity, self absorption, ingratitude. Put all together, it made for a very good movie. Sit back and enjoy!

A nice and honest movie about friendships, family, and true love

I am a huge fan of Sean Patrick Flanery, I am not kidding. His work and not to mention his beautiful looks always get me, and when I noticed at Hollywood Video they had Kiss the Bride, I didn't hesitate to pick it up and watch it at home. Yes, I was a bit shallow, I kinda watched it just to see Sean, because I love him so. But I got more than that, I got an nice and honest movie about sisterhood and how differences can tear and pull back together a family. The acting and movie in general is a good one with some water wrenching moments. Although there were a few things they could have patched up, like some of the plots were not ending well or the characters could have been more developed, over all this is a movie I would recommend for a watch.

adorable predictability

this is the perfect "sit on the couch on a Sunday" movie. the characters, although stereotypical, are each rather endearing. the extended family is fun to watch,as it offers some insight into the traditional Italian family. the sisters deal with the same issues that many modern day siblings tackle, i.e. the pressure to leave home and find success rather than attempt to remain in their small town and find it where their roots are. unfortunately, the movie is predictable, as my girlfriends and i had the majority of the ending pegged in the first half hour. it does it's job as a light and airy way to spend two hours. enjoy.

Quotes
Danisa 'Danni' Sposato: You know what, that's it! That's it! Oh, God! All my life you guys have made me feel bad, because, because I love to be at home, in Westerly with my family. And when you were mean to me, or you made me feel stupid, or you ignored me, I tried not to judge you. And I pretended not to be subconscious of it. And now, I found a man that I love. Who I'm gonna spend the rest of my life with. And I'm gonna make my own family. And I wanted you all to be here. So maybe we could take the good times and forget the bad. But I'm an idiot. Cos you don't care about me. You'll never care about me. You're never gonna care about anyone but yourselves. So, you know what? Just go, go on, go back to wherever the hell it is you came from, go back and hide in your big fucking important lives. I don't need you in my wedding, and I don't need you in my life. And you know what? Just so you guys can stop worrying, I'm - I'm not simple. Or pathetic. I'm actually really - I'm really happy.
