Julia Jones is a young woman who wants nothing more than to find the man of her dreams and settle down. However, Julia has a rather serious weight problem that prevents her from making a positive impression on people. Determined to find love at all costs, Julia somehow drops the weight and meets Grant Fonckyerdoder, a handsome and charming Englishman who falls head over heels for her. Julia and Grant waste no time in setting the date, but until they make their way to the altar they have to deal with meddling parents, flaky wedding planners, fights over the right wedding dress, vertically challenged romantic advisors, and Andy, a longtime friend of Grant, who isn't so happy to hear he's getting hitched.
This is a parody movie that you will only understand if you have seen the movies that are being parodied (including My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Hitch, My Best Friend's Wedding, Meet the Fockers, When Harry Met Sally and Wedding Crashers). Even if you have seen these movies, this film is more silly than funny. There are some clever and creative scenes, but it's mostly a collection of moments from other movies taken to the next, un-politically correct level. This is one of those films that you need to be in a certain mood to enjoy - brainless entertainment.

This film was exactly what it was supposed to be . . . a joke. I do have to say that Kelley and I did have a few laughs along the way.
No reason to ever see it again, though. 2 of 5.
