Having watched the trailer, i was actually pretty excited for this film to come out. I was excited about the premise and the fact that it had two awesome supposed female leads, got me quite intrigued. Unfortunately this movie fell short of all my expectations.

I have nothing against Heigl. In fact, i actually look forward to seeing her play her usual role in sappy chick flicks. What bothered me is that this should have been entitled something completely different. Where was the romance for the brides to be? I mean I seriously felt sorry for Bledel's character. She had very little to no story and just felt like she was an after thought. Even "Jenny" treated her like crap. Seriously, there was no talk from her end on how she felt about anything.

The only reason I'm giving this a 5 is because of its theme of acceptance from a traditional family. Given the fact that it is 2015, there are still plenty of people who choose to hide from their families because they feel their families would not understand and accept it. I think this would be a great conversation starter, for those who want to ease their family into their lifestyle. It's all about the freaking "grass" which really was the writers failed attempt at a metaphor for happiness. Lets face the fact, this movie really wasn't about Jenny or the wedding. It was all about her parents, who by the way gave fantastic performances.

I would also add their terrible musical scores with their terrible timing. How very predictable of you to use "I can't change."
