Confessions of an American Bride

I have to say from the start that the movie is not so bad ... but it has the classic situations and problems that the girls have when they chose the man that will be all in their lives . The plot is good and want's to improve the latest movies that had the same issue but I think they failed to do that because the actors are not so realistic in the way they act .

After the first 20 minutes of the movie i said ... well i should be going home by now because i already know who she will chose from the two so there's noting to see but my friends made me stay and i don't regret this because the second part of the movie was a bit more funny and interesting i could say .

In the end i will say that you could wait to see this movie at home alone if you don't have anything to do at that time , it will make time passing a little more quickly than normal .

OKay so I LOVE chick flicks, I think the worst movies are great... and I thought this movie was awful... absolutely brutal... I have a problem with turning off shows before they're done, and I full-out turned it off to go to bed... when I got up I decided I could sit through a few more minutes of it to at least see if it ended any better.

I was wrong. The lead female can barely call herself an actress, I couldn't even handle how awful she was.

The plot was way too predictable, even for me ha ha SKIP this one, but if you really want to see it, buy it off me, I got mine for $4 and it wasn't even worth that.

I used to like Shannon when she was younger, but she seems to become a worse actress as she has gotten older (something I thought was impossible for anyone).

This woman is now totally unbelievable as an actress and casting her as some girl next door character just doesn't work anymore (especially when you see how difficult it was for the makeup people to hide the bags under her eyes).

The plot was totally unbelievable too and how this film ever got funded is beyond me.

I must say that I actually fell asleep watching this and decided to watch the bits I missed simply because I wanted to warn people to stay away from this film.

Do yourself a favour and go watch paint dry.

I was totally prepared to dislike this movie, why? No clue. but Shannon Elizabeth is quite charming and adorable and the guys? Not too shabby either both very cute and both engaging in their prospective roles, one as the lovable yet somewhat clueless fiancé and the other as the hunk who got away. There are performances by some women in the film, you know the usual bitchy and catty lot and the one real cool one. It plays well and quickly and in usual TV movie it has the problem as well as the rush to a resolution as the movie is nearly done. But all in all it is a fun time. I have proof! My boyfriend watched and laughed! He laughed although he pretended not to watch it. I suggest to go out and pick it up as it's on DVD!!!

There have been great classics in this sub-genre. Father of the Bride, the original, and its two remakes with the just appropriate Steve Martin. Muriel's Wedding, directed by Hogan, with the great Toni Collette. And My Best Friend's Wedding with Hollywood princess, Julia Roberts. And then this TV movie that has a shining Shannon Elizabeth, that proves the audience a good range of acting.

The film's finest and funniest moments come from the whole crazy rush on the wedding's arrangements. Just shows how a pain in the ass is to get married! The two families becoming relatives now thing, was very funny too.

Shannon Elizabeth and her "fiancée" Eddie McClintock show some sparks and very good chemistry. Good acting and good writing make it up for a predictable, conventional premise in a well-directed film that is so self-aware and not serious that is really a delight of charming and funny moments. A good one.
