Best Wedding Movies
July 28th, 2011
This summer, while most people are lining up for the best Hollywood releases, you shall share the loveseat with your hubby-to-be and get wedding tips from these neat flicks! Get into the planning mood by checking out love stories, romantic comedies, and wedding movies. Ideas are over the place with our list of the best wedding movies to watch.
And even if you’re not hearing the wedding bells soon or flaunting that huge rock from Mr. Big, you could indulge your romantic side with these movies.
27 Dresses
After serving as a bridesmaid 27 times, a young woman wrestles with the idea of standing by her sister’s side as her sibling marries the man she’s secretly in love with.
The Notebook
The literati may scoff, but anybody who believes in fate and love would dig Nick Cassavetes’ adaptation of Nicholas Sparks’ novel.
Meet the Parents
The title says it all. I mean, what could be more daunting for a guy than an encounter with his girlfriend’s parents succeeded by a series of unfortunate events? But all’s well that ends well–in this case, it’s a wedding.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
What could be more classical than a Grecian love story? You name it: interracial marriages, midlife crisis, family business–this movie is a modern foray to Greek romance.
Mama Mia!
Set on a colorful Greek island, a young woman about to be married discovers that any one of three men could be her father. She invites all three to the wedding without telling her mother, Donna.
The Wedding Planner
Jennifer Lopez plays San Francisco’s most successful supplier of romance and glamour. She knows all the tricks and all the rules. But then she breaks the most important rule of all: falling in love with the groom!
Bride Wars
Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson star as best friends who become rivals when they schedule their respective weddings on the same day. This is why “even bestfriends can’t share the same wedding day!”
Sex and the City
New York glamour wedding; need we say more?
The Father of the Bride
A bittersweet romantic comedy that will make every daughter appreciate her daddy, and every father relish the time with his little princess.
If that list hasn’t satiated your inner cineaste, try watching 90s staples My Bestfriend’s Wedding and The Wedding Singer. There’s nothing like rooting for stuck-in-the-friend-zone Julia Roberts and Adam Sandler singing “Grow Old With You.” If you’re feeling a little sinister, well there’s always Monster in Law and Runaway Bride. If it’s choosing between love and the big league, keep score with Sweet Home Alabama and Love and Basketball.
