I Do (But I Don't) (2004)

Just so...so bad

Expected more

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

A passable Lifetime light romantic comedy. I Do (But I Don't) sees Lauren (Denise Richards) a put upon wedding planner who thinks she has fallen for the groom Nick (Dean Cain) a firefighter and all round super man.However it seems that it is Nick's brother that is the actual groom and both Lauren and Nick start a relationship. Soon Lauren finds out that the bride to be might be having an affair with someone else leaving Lauren in a dilemma.This is a breezy but forgettable film helped by Cain's effortless charisma, let's face it Richards has little acting ability hence why we need her to do a voice-over to convey her feelings.

I'm a fan of Denise Richards, I admit. I think she is incredibly beautiful and has the potential for being a great actress. Again, I rented this movie from Hollywood Video, I couldn't help myself, I think it's that female magnet thing in my head. :D But seriously, I thought that this was an adorable film that anyone could enjoy. True, mostly girls. But it was still fun.I didn't realize that this was a made for TV movie, but still it was a good little film. Denise Richards plays a wedding planner who has a mean boss and a client who is a brat. When she meets a hunky fire fighter played by Dean Caine, she is in love. He is interested as well, but she thinks that's her client's fiancée. But when she finds out that he isn't and it's his brother's fiancée, they start a steamy relationship, but then she finds out that the fiancée is sleeping with a certain family member. Can she still trust him and hope her heart doesn't get broken? You'll have to find out that one for yourself. This is a cute movie to watch with the girls and I'll admit 100% that I enjoyed this film as well.7/10

I can't help but notice how closely this "no frills" TV movie seems to resemble the successful plot of 2001 movie "The Wedding Planner". Throughout the movie certain elements placed here and there gave me a strong case of "daijavu". In the very beginning of the movie we find that the protagonist is a stressed-out wedding planner trying to win the big promotion by submitting to the every whim of her manipulative boss. Hmm? Sound familiar? Then, surprise! We throw in the spoiled bride-to-be (that seems to resemble Bridgette Wilson) and a forbidden love interest and you have the recipe for a very predictable, and not so exciting TV movie. This movie guru recommends that your avoid this title if your partial to originality!

This movie seems to be a remake of The Wedding Planner, but I like this new version better.The movie would have been even better had the characters Lauren and Nick not slept together. They didn't even know each other well enough yet, not to mention the fact that they weren't married or, at the very least, engaged.Dean Cain did a great job of playing the sweet firefighter Nick, and I was impressed that the actors who played Nick, J, and Rick looked so much alike.Overall, I deem this movie Re-watchable.
