The story borrows from so many formula elements. Cate calls herself a Professional Bridesmaid, but she is basically a wedding planner. She gets thrown together with the best man, or guy who had a crush on her in high school, to bring the wedding together at the last minute. Somehow combine that with Cate being a writer given an assignment for a wedding magazine. Meanwhile Cate's current boyfriend is a totally insensitive narcissist who asks for a break. But of course you know he doesn't go away completely. There's the big Misunderstanding which reminded me of Birthday Wish.
The acting is poor to bad by everyone except Tori Anderson and Lucie Guest. Guest outclasses everyone else by a mile as far as ability to act. Anderson is OK, but she has it going for her that she is perfect as the sweet and upbeat leading lady. Sean Poague, like some of the other actors, seems like he is trying too hard. I didn't see much chemistry with Anderson.
The dialogue has a few moments, but it's mostly average.
I love how all the movies of this type seem to think that all women can fit in the same size dresses. There's a scene where Cate walks up to Maxine's closet obviously several inches taller than her and then tries on a half dozen of her outfits that seem to fit perfectly. And we won't even talk about body type.
I will probably watch most movies with Anderson as a lead because she is appealing in looks and personality. Lucie Guest is always solid. But this movie was a disappointment in almost every other way.
