The Wedding Dress (2001)
When Hannah Pinkham's fiancé writes he's finally shipping home, her mother makes a fairy tale wedding dress, but while she's fitting it the knock on the door is not him, but the dreaded officer-messenger. Years later she sends it to her nephew, photographer Travis Cleveland, but his model-bride Cass only pretends to like it to get rid of his loyal assistant. After he walks off with it, his car gets stolen with the dress in it... And it keeps passing on from person to person, but will anybody actually get married in it or does it just keep bringing bad luck to couples?

the leading man is my tpye
That was an excellent one.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
I have often thought of this movie, not able to remember the title, but through the "magic" of the internet, and the above listed scenarios, am now able to run this to ground! Is it possible this film is available on VHS or DVD? The crying fiancé of the soldier, loosing the dress out the window of the car, the twists and turns of the plot, tying all characters together in quirky and "how did that happen?" ways, was such a treat and a welcomed relief from the drudge that is most TV movies. I want my best friend to see this, I want my husband to see this. I was uplifted, saddened, and tearfully joyful by the end, but most of all, I was entertained!
This movie does have many stories in them, but I found it interesting how they dovetail together. It is a movie well worth watching. Tyne Daley has certainly handed down her acting skill to her daughter (especially when she plays her own daughter). I enjoyed it and found myself "feeling good" when it ended. I watch for enjoyment, not necessarily for reality.
Ok, ok so this movie won't win any awards but it was entertaining. Basically, the movie followed a wedding dress from the time it was made in the 1940's for a wedding that never happened to present day. The journey the dress takes is cute, funny, often touching, sometimes sad but very entertaining.It's pretty much a "chick flick"...but I have to say that my fiance enjoyed it as much as I did.
They don't make 'em like this any more. Blood! Gore! Sex! That's all you see now. Or, if they want it to be family entertainment, it is so white bread you sit and say, "What world is this from?" But not this movie. This harkens back to the good old days of movie making, and it's about time! The Wedding Dress was delightfully twisty and turny, with chuckles *and* tears - just like real life happens to be - though the interweaving of the couples might be a bit far fetched. I accepted it, though, as a flashback to the movies of bygone days that tied it all in a neat little parcel while expecting a certain amount of suspension of disbelief. Hey, this is *entertainment* - Lighten up! That every couple touched by this special dress attended the wedding at the end (and though the dress affected them all, it was only worn to *one* very special nuptial) was just wonderful. Can we have more of these, please?
