Features: DVD
Getting to the altar has never been funnier as two of Hollywood's biggest and brightest stars--Jennifer Lopez and Julia Roberts--star in this delightful 2-pack of romantic comedies with THE WEDDING PLANNER and MY BEST FRIENDS WEDDING.THE WEDDING PLANNER: Mary Fiore (Jennifer Lopez) is the wedding planner. She's ambitious, hard-working, extremely organized, and she knows exactly what to do and what to say to make any wedding a spectacular event. But when Mary falls (literally) for a handsome doctor (Matthew McConaughey), her busy yet uncomplicated life is turned upside down--he's the groom in the biggest wedding of her career! Will she help him walk down the aisle with his internet tycoon girlfriend (Bridgette Wilson-Sampras), or will Mary finally get to be the bride herself? As this sweet romantic comedy proves, when it comes to love, you can never plan what's going to happen. MY BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING: Julia Roberts, Dermot Mulroney, Cameron Diaz and Rupert Everett star in a high-spirited, romantic comedy that serves up something wild, something new, something touching and something truly hilarious. Roberts dazzles as commitment-shy Jules Potter, who reluctantly realizes she is in love with her best friend (Mulroney). There's just one catch: he's about to marry someone else. Comically crazed and full of devious plans, Jules will do anything to steal him back... except tell him the simple truth. "An enchanting romantic comedy. The entire cast is smashing."--Gene Shalit, Today

| | Professional Reviews | James Berardinelli's ReelViews 8 of 10
[My Best] Fortunately, this film doesn't fall into the overcrowded category of the traditional frothy romance. In fact, [it] has a bit of an edge and enough intelligence to keep it from drowning in the kind of mawkish sentimentality that often makes this sort of movie hard-to-swallow... Because [it] features a smart script and deft direction, it manages to keep alive the mystery of who will end up with whom... It's clever, irreverent, and fun. - James Berardinelli
Chicago Sun-Times 5 of 10
[Planner] A plot like this is so hopeless that only acting can redeem it. Lopez pulls her share of the load, looking geuninely smitten by this guy and convincingly crushed when his secret is revealed. But McConaughey is not the right actor for this material. He seems stolid and workmanlike, when what you need is a guy with naughtier eyes: Ben Affleck, Alec Baldwin, Ben Stiller, George Clooney, Matt Dillon. - Roger Ebert
San Francisco Chronicle 6 of 10
[My Best] ...[Roberts] is at her vibrant best--a pretty woman again instead of the pale imitation... There is an actor who is every bit a match for Roberts--Rupert Everett, playing Julianne's editor and confidant, George. When they dance together or conspire together or do anything together, it's magic. - Ruthe Stein
