From the very first scene, in which she comforts a distraught father by handing him a Valium from her trusty catch-all kit all while juggling three or four other minor crises, Lopez fills the screen.

Disappointing would-be romantic comedy with innuendo.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 7, 2001

Suffers particularly in inevitable comparison with My Best Friend's Wedding.

| Original Score: C | Jan 31, 2001

McConaughey is insufferably smug as always, while the bewilderingly miscast Diva appears bored and impatient.

| Jan 31, 2001

Jennifer Lopez and Matthew McConaughey have no chemistry. None.

| Jan 26, 2001

So insipid, so willfully bland, that it will probably need no nips, tucks, trims or bleeps to be ready for flight play.

Full Review | Jan 26, 2001

The work of la Lopez, who is as gifted as she is gorgeous, and by McConaughey, a dreamboat when he's at ease, is more than compensatory.

If you took My Best Friend's Wedding, showed it to a bunch of kids and then asked them to make the same film, they might come up with something like The Wedding Planner.

Full Review | Jan 26, 2001

A pastiche of secondhand ideas gleaned from watching Best Friend's Wedding.

| Jan 26, 2001

It's made with care, which sets it apart from most recent movies of this ilk.

Full Review | Jan 26, 2001

Works oh-so-hard to make everyone in it oh-so-likable that at times the audience is going to feel oh-so-nauseated.

Full Review | Jan 26, 2001

Too often it comes up with sappiness where it needs sass.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 26, 2001

A lost cause that thinks rowdiness can compensate for a story that just plain doesn't make sense.

| Jan 26, 2001

Begins brightly, then wears on too long and too predictably.

Full Review | Jan 26, 2001

The writing in Wedding Planner ... is simply not up to the task.

Full Review | Jan 26, 2001

There are times when the movie's contrivance is agonizing.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 26, 2001

It's as if the tone is at war with the content. Bright and bubbly, it endlessly chronicles bad behavior spun toward the positive.
