Day 25: The Wedding Planner

No I promise, I have not OD'd this time. I just felt sort of starved for these RC's and had to make up a weeks worth of being with out, and I swear this is my last one for the day and I will go directly to bed after writing this blog and read my cheesy romance novel (are you really surprised?- yeah I didn't think so- I'm girl in love with love). Plus, as I said before, I really needed a wedding! And I got one! The Wedding Planner! Yay! Again, another movie, I hadn't seen all the way through, just sort of caught it on tv when it was on. I had no idea of the beginning. Man that made a huge difference for me. It still didn't save my bad opinion of the secondary characters, particularly the 2 "italian" men, Rocco and Salvatore who have such odd accents it sounds more like they had strokes and are trying to speak through a half paralized mouth. Its sad. Also, I can't tell if her father Salvatore is gay or not. No one explains it. I'm very confused! And I'm sorry but every time I've seen Bridgette Wilson, ever since Billy Madison, I'm often staring at her wide set eyes and wondering if her mother drank through the pregnancy. And usually, I'm not a big Lopez fan. I know, I know, she's done quite a few of the RC movies but she's never quite done it for me. That said, this movie was still formulaic enough to put me in a nice happy mood afterwards. I can now go to bed with the covers pulled up, warm and fuzzy knowing true love won out. As it should. As it always does. SO here is how The Wedding Planner checks off on my list:

• Giddy: Oh well, we have all the things on this check list that make me giddy through this movie, dancing, weddings, lies, we also have the classic: saving the damsel in distress and lines so cheesy they make the goose pimples pop instantly on you, like "I know the curves of your face" and "You kinda stayed with me".
• Lie: Well they met, by him saving her, had a lovely first date and then had to hide all that as he was marrying the girl that Jennifer is doing the wedding planning for. Plus they are both lying to themselves that the ones they are with will eventually make them happy instead of each other.
  
• Big Emotional Outburst: There are a couple small ones.
  
• Dance Sequence: Oh yes, and NICE!
• Wedding: Yes! Yay! We have 5! And they are all beautiful in their own way. This movie actually romantisizes getting married at City Hall for me. If I had a booty like Lopez and a dress like that, City Hall would be a step up from Leisure World (where I was in fact eh hem married).
  
• Rewatchable: I've seen the middle of this movie to the end a dozen or so times. So yes, especially now that I can see it from the beginning again, I will do so!
• Love: Ah here we have the classic love at first saving. However, there is a line in here about how Timing is always off for these characters, how they always seem to be in love with someone who isn't in love with them. I would just like to take a moment to praise this movie for bringing out one of the aspects I truly believe is necessary for love. I believe we have many people we can love in our lives, but "the one" is nothing more than the timing being right for both of you.
• Fantasy: Mmm the weddings.
• Journey of the Main Character: Erk, I have a bit of a hard time pin pointing this one...
  
• Body Count: nope. Her mother died a while back but nope that doesn't really count.
• Music Montages: Somewhat
• Strong Female: Somewhat
