La Mère de la mariée

Many reviewers complain that this movie was silly and not as good as others of the genre.

While I do agree, that Netflix is not exactly guaranteed awesomeness all the time.. what were you expecting? When you open a can of ravioli, are you then sad it didn't taste like a gourmet meal? Check your expectations.

I knew what I was gonna get, when I started watching this movie. It was your standard rom-com, with little to remember it by ten years from now. Just some movie that I once watched. But guess what? It entertained me, while I was watching it. And Brooke Shields was playing a cute character.

So just know, that it is not going to be Love Actually and you'll be fine.

This movie is nothing special one tipical romantic comedy movie that fallows two couple stories that are connected, but it is mostly focused on second chance trope. It has great cast but some dialogues and scenes feel like they were suddenly cut. A lot of different stories were started then cut out of nowhere and where replaced but new/old ones. Too many stories have been started and wanted to tell but none of them have been told properly. There are some cringe dialogues and because of that you cannot feel the chemistry between the actors. The last scene should be done better and in different way.

Yes this movie will not win any Oscars I'll be remembered as a cinema classic in 100 years time however, for a bit of light and easy tongue-in cheek fun what do you want for 90 minutes?... I love the fact that the two main love interests looked their age but pretty good for it lol and weren't plastic surgery nightmares...Easy to follow plot, lovely scenery and a fun soundtrack..... Put your feet up and just enjoy for a bit and then you can forget about it the next day., not all movies have to be Oscar winners to be enjoyable. Sometimes they need to be a bit silly with no guilt. The world is serious enough to not take a chill pill occasionally.

Rachael Harris and Wilson Cruz were missed opportunities for a much better movie. Miranda Cosgrove's influencer job needed more backstory and her acting needed some help. I wasn't so much a fan of Teale, I didn't find much charisma from him on screen, and the chemistry with him and Cosgrove was dull. Same with Brooke Shields and Benjamin Bratt.

The plot was a story that's been told before with nothing that sets it apart. The tropical background did all the heavy lifting, and again, Harris and Cruz were the standouts (as they usually are in their projects).

I'm really glad to see Brooke Shields back on screen, but this movie was filler. Her other Netflix film, A Castle for Christmas, was delightful but Mother of the Bride has very little in terms of plot, just a really good tropical locale.

There's so many movies out there, that are better then this. That's true. But, I watched more movies that are mutch worse.

The most disappointing thing was, the non sparkling moments between the bride and groom.

I know, that Miranda is a very professional actress. So it wasn't really obvious. But, other couples in this movie show us, what's should be between them.

I don't know why they doesn't change the acter for the groom. Sometimes there's no chemistry between people. And here was it clearly to see.

The jokes wasn't always funny and the writing wasn't so good. The movie shouldn't be produced like this.

Sometimes are small things bad for a movie. And when this small mistakes get too much... And no acter is there to overplayed that, then it's going downward. Sadly to say, it could have been better and it's nothing you had to watch.
