Reviews
Roger Ebert wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times of February 4, 2005, in the film two appealing depictions would survive a "bombing with dung" ( "... presents the curious case of two appealing performances surviving a bombardment of schlock" ). He shows "the usual range of impossible loved ones and wedding activities" ; some scenes would appear to have been arranged for the British gossip magazine The Tatler . The story combines motifs from the films Four Weddings and a Funeral , Pretty Woman and My Best Friend's Wedding . Apart from “stupidity” , the film has a melancholy undertone.
The lexicon of international films wrote that the film was a “wedding film based on a more than familiar scheme” .
