This is one of those movies thats all concept and all sorts of chaotic execution. It's obvious from the list of screenwriters they employed to finish up this screenplay it was a messy situation. And I'm sure they saw the potential at keeping it alive because of some key scenes and jokes that make the movie worthwhile. It's concept is a funny one especially nearing the big wedding date weekend of 7-7-07. It's all pretty clever on their part to release this pre martial themed comedy against Transformers as well for people with a completely different taste. Look what I'm trying to say by stating all of this is that the movie works. It's not great but it has enough of the good to make it worth seeing even more than once. The characters are endearing, the situations funny and sentiment is effective. Mandy moore is underused as the female lead, Robin Williams is funnier than he has been in a while but the film really belongs to John Kransinski whom makes a handsome and involving leading man. The film is a little silly and unrealistic in an 80's style sort of way but it gets what it aims for and leaves you with a big dorky smile on your face.
