Michael Ian Black write and directs this forgettable piece of romantic comedy, with an emphasis on the comedy leaving the romance to simmer in the background, which I liked if only because I can't stand most Romcoms. In fact if this film wasn't on netflix via xbox 360, I sincerely doubt that I would've given it a chance. As it was and since my girl wanted to see it I decided to appease her movie (in)sensibilities.Jason Biggs (American Pie) is Anderson a man who's just given up on love. His soul-mate has just died via heart attack due to his tomfoolery involving dressing up as Cupid and proposing to her. Needless to say he's down in the dumps when he half-heartedly and jokingly asks a waitress to marry him out of the blue. Unfortunately, for him (and the viewer), the waitress Katie (Isla Fisher, who acts just as nuts here as she did in The Wedding Crashers) says yes. They then have to contend with their respective parents (including Joe Pantoliano in the thankless supremely unfunny role of jailbird dad) But my girl like it (even though I don't really like her taste in film) so it couldn't be all bad *shrugs* My Grade: C-

Jason Biggs (American Pie) stars as Anderson, a depressed guy who lost his girlfriend by proposing to her. Pushed by his friend, he asks a random waitress to marry him, which she says yes.The idea of this romantic comedy is there. I like the idea of spontaneity but the film lacks humour.Jason Biggs is funny in other films, as is Isla Fisher (Wedding crashers) but this film lacks effort and purpose. It's as if there's no point.Following many conventions of the genre, the film uses physical humour and some really cheesy lines to portray comedy, which is a shame because from the beginning it appeared to be heading somewhere.Its flat, its predictable and repetitive and overall, just boring and familiar.I don't like films which follow patterns and so the ending is scant consolation for that as it is slightly different from other romantic comedies.The acting is average; none of the cast seemed too bothered to put their true potential into the characters.At the end of the day it is a light hearted film which is sweet in its own way. The humour isn't brilliant, like the acting but the idea and the ending are quite interesting.

Shockingly bad movie - daft plot; no development. Made it through 35mins before going to do the dishes (that seemed more enjoyable). Normally enjoy cheesy romantic comedies, but this one lacked romance or comedy- the timing, structured to allow for laughing, just results in long, uncomfortable silences. Has all the jokes from the last 3 American Pie movies but somehow forgets the humor. The penis jokes were funny the first 2 times, but you're out of high school now.... grow up.Not FunnyNot CleverNot worth Downloading via P2P, never mind paying good money for.

I don't know about you, but when I saw this movie I knew what to expect of it. I mean, what more can u expect from a movie that stars Jason Biggs and Isla Fisher and it's called "Wedding Daze" except another romance flick where two people run over some bumps, but in the end they straighten all up? And that's what this film has to offer: one hour and almost thirty minutes of pure relaxation and some laughs. By saying this I address all you uptight "movie critics" that take it way too seriously.The plot isn't that very original, the acting is bearable, the funny situations that pop during the film are quite decent, Isla Fisher is great and it all ends well. To really have a treat out of it, see it with someone you care about, trust me, it'll do the job.
