3.0 out of 5 stars Good Idea, Problematic Production, February 11, 2005

By

Grady Harp (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Kiss the Bride (DVD)

KISS THE BRIDE seems to be searching for the audience that fell in love with the Indie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding", in an Italian variant of a similar story. Somehow this effort fails to gel. Written, Directed and Acted by Vanessa Parise it shows the effect that too much input from one mind can fail to see the flaws inherent in such an undertaking.

Simple story: an Italian Rhode Island family, the Sposatos, is preparing for the upcoming wedding of Danni (Amanda Detmer) and her longtime boyfriend Geoff (the sadly underused Jonathan Schaech). Danni's mother (Talia Shire) and father (Burt Young) are blissful that one of their four daughters is following the good old Italian concept of marriage and family. Danni calls her sisters to some home for the wedding: Niki (Brooke Langton) is a 'famous' TV body image who comes with her lowlife manager (Johnny Whitworth), Crissy (Vanessa Parise) who is a Wall Street marvel yet unhappy, and Toni (Monet Mazur) who arrives on a motorcycle with her surprising Lesbian lover. It is Danni's one simple wish that gathering the disparate sisters will restore the lost family ties she regrets.

Mix these ingredients (like the wonderful shots of Italian cooking that abound in this film!) and out comes a series of changes in the relationships of the sisters and the whole concept of the nuclear Italian family unit. Entertaining at times, the film suffers from too shallow characterizations from the sisters to make us care for their individual plights.

Not a bad movie, just not a memorable one. Grady Harp, February 2005

3.0 out of 5 stars Kiss the Bride will make you want to pucker up, July 28, 2005

By

C. Gunnells (New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kiss the Bride (DVD)

An Italian family prepares for an upcoming wedding. The recipe for disaster: 3 fighting sisters, 2 family squabbles, 1 ex-boyfriend and a partridge in a pear tree. Add a splash of Italian culture to the subplot and stew. This movie is equal parts trite and entertaining, but the cast is surprisingly good with standout performances by Jonathan Schaech and Talia Shire. In a not-so-clever twist, one sister brings home her lesbian lover (Alyssa Milano) simply for the shock value. By the end of the film, the outsider shows everyone who's the boss. -Cynthia Gunnells, CeleGAYtions

1.0 out of 5 stars Plain, predictable and unexciting, November 13, 2007

By

Deborah G (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kiss the Bride (DVD)

I am getting married next month... And I am looking for a tearjerker - you know something that expresses the range of emotions involved with a wedding: from exuberantly happy to some strange sad moods. Anyway, this movie did absolutely *nothing* for me. Completely predictable, bad editing and writing and strange visual shots. Some of the actresses are cute (and some are better than others) but there was no character development. I hardly ever feel that a movie is a waste of my time. Why did I finish it? Because I kept hoping it would get better and it never did.
