Wedding Daze Movie Review

Jason Biggs stars in this quirky comedy about relationships and marriage, personally I wasn’t expecting much from this film but I was pleasantly surprised. The movie gets off to a very slow start which may put some people off, but after all it’s the whole package your looking at not just the beginning. Biggs stars as Anderson, who we soon learn is heading to a posh restaurant to propose to his girlfriend, but in typical comedy style simply turning up with a ring would be too easy, as Biggs heads to his local lingerie department and purchases some knickers to finish off his “costume” – he dresses as cupid, complete with wings and arrows. Soon after turning up at the restaurant he approaches his girlfriend Vanessa, gets down on one knee and proposes to her, unfortunately for Biggs the shock of the costume and the offer cause her to have a heart attack.

Fast forward to the present day and Ted his best friend is trying to get a very depressed Biggs back into the dating game, whilst sitting in a diner he tells Biggs to ask out the next girl he likes, and he does just that, to Isla Fisher (Katie) but he doesn’t just ask for a date, but instead asks her to marry him, oddly enough she agrees not because she is nuts, but because her boyfriend has just asked her the same question and she really, really doesn’t want to marry him even though her family desperately want her too.

Katie moves in with Biggs and the standard comedy routine sets in with the meeting of the parents, weird friends and some involvement from the police and an escaped convict.

Overall Wedding Daze will never win any prizes for originality but it is a very good film, the main characters are well played, with the awkwardness of certain situations portrayed brilliantly, and the supporting actors all play their parts from Katie’s father played by Joe Pantoliano to Biggs’s parents who just scare the hell out of me with their dubious sexual activities (you will have to watch the film to see what I mean), defiantly a film you should watch if your in the mood for a light comedy.
