People, it's a comedy!
According to me a comedy is supposed to make you laugh, and this movie does. You can say it's not deep and it may have some flaws, some mislead facts and stuff but people, do you watch a comedy to learn about history? NO, you watch it for entertainment and this movie is hilarious on many occasions. To all those who rated this movie with a 4 or 5...think about the purpose of the movie, if you want a deep,meaningful movie then this isn't for you but if you just want to sit back and have a laugh then don't hesitate. Very decent comedy and quite different from the cliché Hollywood romantic movies. Everything has it's purpose. I didn't laugh this much since Due Date.
A fun story with entirely predictable outcomes
This film tells the story of a pet photographer who is forced into a marriage with the daughter of a criminal mastermind, so that she can get a green card to stay in the USA.
The film starts off with a very bad sequence of a cat and a dog creating havoc. Fortunately, the film gets better after that. The story takes us to the really beautiful Tahiti, where every natural scenery is better than postcards. The story is very predictable, Rob Schneider's character is annoying and the rather raunchy girlfriend wannabe is unbelievable, but "You May Not Kiss the Bride" is still a very entertaining film to watch.

Exactly as rated 5.1 stars
This movie had one of the most unrealistic plots I have ever seen... such as a very conveniently located canoe.
That said, I watched the whole thing...
So basically it is watchable: even cute at moments, incredibly dumb at others
A high point is the island... it is gorgeous
It actually made me consider a career in scriptwriting... I know I can write at this level for sure!
Keep your expectations low, and you won't be disappointed Actually, if you watch it with your boyfriend, he will probably enjoy it if he likes action scenes and crude humor (just a few things, but for me they detracted from the already flimsy story in my opinion)

Pleasant and predictable - lovely McPhee
This is a pleasant and slightly predictable comedy filmed in Hawaii. The premise is cute. A marriage arranged for a green card for a Mob Boss's daughter turns into true love on a honeymoon on a resort island. Some parts are a bit slapstick and silly. It is obviously not a huge budget rom-com but it is still worth watching.
There are some winning performances. Katharne McPhee is lovely and slimmer than on Idol here. She shows she can act as well as sing. Dave Annable tries hard with the slightly silly material he is given. Rob Schneider was a bit under used considering he is the biggest comic star in the movie. Kathy Bates is a little under used as well. Tia Carrerre is a bit plumper and older but suits her role.

Not too bad
Expectations are big when it comes to movies. That being said I went into this with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. There was actual jokes and some thought put into the plot. Not much...but enough for it to be passable entertainment. It's a pretty random selection of character actors who all add some humor. Rob Schneider is hit or miss but he wasn't too bad in this. Anyways, go in with low expectations and you might be entertained.
Did you know
- TriviaThe "Lover's Bay Resort" featured in the film is not an actual resort or hotel nor is it located in Nuku Hiva. It is actually a house located in O'ahu Hawaii at 1426 Mokulua Dr, Kailua, HI 96734, USA. It is also not secluded which is why they keep the surrounding area out of frame when driving into it in the movie. Unfortunately you can't go vacation there even if you wanted to.
- GoofsDuring the car chase the slide on Ernesto's pistol locks back, indicating that the weapon is empty. The next time we see him, he is shooting as though nothing has happened though not enough time has passed for him to reload.
