Frankly, this movie is for when you *owe* her one - because your numero uno's been watching too many of 'your' boring men's movies of late, and it be time to redress the balance. Fear not! The fact is you'll probably enjoy it too! A 7/10
Time travel comedies can be a lot of fun. But the idea that you need to go back in time to fix a relationship problem isn't relatable. It would be better if the female lead worked on healing from the pain of her past, so that she can have a future with a man who's been nothing but good to her. THAT's more relatable and empowering.
Some really far-fetched stuff happens in the past -- far-fetched in the sense that people with common sense don't really do these things.
And if the wicked groom wants to marry her so bad, then why is he also determined to cheat?
The plot is pretty standard romantic comedy fantasy fare. George (David Sutcliffe) must travel back in time to win back his bride (Jennifer Westfeldt). What makes this film enjoyable is the actors. Sutcliffe and Westfeldt are two of my favourite actors and it's great to see them in leading roles where they are both very engaging and add an air of light-hearted romance to the film.
Like most made-for-TV movies, the characterization is weak. We only know enough about the characters to move the plot forward. You also have to be willing to ignore the many plot holes that come with travelling back in time. But for those that like fantasy romantic comedies, "Before You Say 'I Do'" is enjoyable.
