OK so I saw this a few years ago on TV and it was on last night so I decided to watch it because I liked Jennifer Lopez in Maid in Manhattan and I am a hopeless romantic.
The Wedding Planner is about a young woman named Mary Flores(played by Jennifer Lopez ot J-Lo for short) who is an ambitious and hardworking wedding planner who tries to create the perfect weddings for her clients. One day she accidentally gets her high heel shoe stuck in a manhole and a taxi man drops his ice cream in the car and hits a bin that nearly kills Mary. Suddenly a handsome doctor named Steve(Eddie)Edison (played by Matthew McConnaghey) comes to sweep her off her feet and to her rescue. She later becomes smitten with him,but she gets a shock when she finds out that he is engaged to be married to another woman who happens to be Mary's clients Francine (played by Bridget Sampros) (Oh No).
Anyway while his fiancé goes off for a week Mary spends some more time with Steve and she begins to fall in love with him. Mary of course is supposed to be engaged to Marcello(Justin Chambers who was in Grey's Anatomy as Alex who is sporting a fake Italian accent that is so bad you couldn't help but laugh). Of course you know that she ends up with Steve in the end which is so cute yet kinda wrong as she stole someone else's fiancée who was so stupid she decides to not marry him after and goes off on their honeymoon on her own.
I think Hollywood is running out of ideas when it comes to making Romcoms as they are loosely based on the same thing again and again.
Having said the above I thought it was a cute Rom- Com that will have you either loving it or hating it. Matthew McConnaghey was hot in this and J-Lo was a bit wooden in some parts but still she's just acting like the same character again and again.
Nothing new here but still worth watching on a lazy afternoon.
7/10
