In my opinion, this was a good movie and a bad movie at the same time. The plot was too simplistic and the dialogue was cheap, but it had an easygoing feel to it and one can enjoy it without having to pay that much attention. I'll even admit there was somewhat of enough action to keep one interested and that it could be good movie if it had a bigger budget.Denise Richards was okay as the main character, more charming than a convincing actress, but let's just say you could tell it was a Lifetime original movie when you saw the other actors in their parts. Overall, I'd say if you're in the mood for a nice movie with an almost relaxing tone to it, see it on TV or even rent it.

Lauren (Denise Richards) works for a well-known wedding planner as a "junior" planner. This means, essentially, that Lauren does all of the hard work and the lady above her gets all of the glory. At an unusual wedding, a groom decides to repel his way down the church for a big entrance. Alas, he gets stuck. Lauren does her part by keeping the gentleman calm as the fire department arrives. It is there that she meets Nick (Dean Cain), a friendly fireman and a cute one, too. But, horrors. Meeting up with a client a couple of days later, Lauren is dumbstruck to learn that Nick is the impending groom. Then, why do you suppose he is making so many friendly overtures to Lauren? This a cute knockoff of the Wedding Planner. Richards is lovely and funny as the super-organized planner and Cain is, as always, warm, charming, and adorable as the love interest. The rest of the cast is more than adequate, the script is humorous, and the costumes very beautiful. There is a darling and clever canine in the film, too. As a Lifetime movie, this one takes a wee walk on the wild side with a bride who is having an affair with the potential groom's brother. However, in most cases, do not let that discourage you from finding the film. It is a nicely romantic and mirthful movie that will be pleasing to romcom fans everywhere.

Watched this film with the wife the other night to get an escape from the Xmas fare and all of the embarrassing specials. I was pleasantly surprised. I thought it would be a run of the mill Rom-com chick flick, but found a few twists and turns that at least were intelligent. OK - lets be honest you can nearly predict most of the plot within the first 30 minutes or so and its hardly cutting edge stuff, but if you're after a no-brainer that you can just sit back and enjoy - this is what you're looking for. Denise Richards is enjoyable in the part, as is Dean Cain, and as someone else has already commented its commendable how close he looks to his brothers in the film. Why oh why do these films ALWAYS have to have a dog? Ever since Something about Mary dogs have been making regular appearances in these films, and although our little canine friend in this instance (Snickers to friends) is vaguely humorous, it is actually quite irritating! However - give it a spin, its not a bad film. Don't be expecting the best comedy you ever saw, but its above average and fun.

Denise Richards and Dean Cain are mismatched (chemistry-wise), and seem almost awkward as a couple at times. But there are rare moments where they actually shine (such as the dance at the Fireman's ball where he saves her from a drunken comrade), and it's not a complete waste of time. The only severely annoying part is the cliché inner monologue by Richards. Apparently, her acting wasn't complex enough to infer these occasional exclamations and explanations. It just feels a touch oblique. Or maybe I'm being critical--either way, it impeded my ability to watch the movie without being aware of the devices. But the ending was satisfactory (if predictable), and the fiancée was sufficiently horrific to relieve you of any guilt about her being so easily cast aside. All in all, not a complete waste of time...
