"Wedding Daze" is a Hallmark TV movie that centers around a father with 3 daughters who all become engaged and begin planning their weddings at the same time! There are several times that the movie reminds me of "Father of the Bride," but I have to say that I think "Wedding Daze" is much more humorous. The family sentiment and closeness is nice; the romances are great. It is a chick flick, but it is an A+ movie!

It is inevitable that this movie should be compared to Father of the Bride. John Larroquette is the father of three adult women. The oldest breaks her leg, the second finds her live-in boy friend in bed with another woman, and pretty soon all three are living at home again. To complicate matters, each of them receives a marriage proposal and accepts.

Too much happens too fast to too many people for the story to get into great detail about anyone, although Larroquette does go through some of the same experiences as Steve Martin in Father of the Bride. As each engagement is announced and the expenses keep piling up, he and his wife (played by Karen Valentine) change their vacation plans from a trip around the world, to a tour of Europe, and eventually a trip to Las Vegas. French Stewart has some funny moments as the wedding planner (and he does it without the silly, phony accent that Martin Short used in Father of the Bride).

All in all, this is a fun movie and well worth the time it takes to watch it.

This is a romantic comedy and it is full of witty and funny scenes. The three sisters are quite different but when they get together they click well. Also their boyfriends are just as different as the sisters are. A good family movie, or a pre-nuptial date movie.

"Wedding Daze" had the potential to be a very funny movie. Most of the actors portrayed likeable characters who were good to see get connected romantically.
One exception was the Italian groom who we were given the least time to get to know in the film. He was also portrayed a little to much as the stereotypical overemotional Italian.
The other exception was the wedding planner. I enjoyed the fact that he went from trying to calm everyone's nerves-especially the father's-to being somewhat of a wreck himself by wedding day. But even then he was portrayed less than over-the-top as he could have been, and he just seemed to disappear toward the end of the movie.
Some reviewers have compared this to "Father of the Bride". The closest "Wedding Daze" comes to "Father of..." is the father's voice-over to discribe his feelings through the events and the fact that it's about a wedding. There's not near the physical comedy you'll find in the "Father of..." movies.
I would recommend "Wedding Daze" if you're looking for a humorous movie about finding relationships right in front of you where you weren't even looking.
But if you want a FUNNY movie about a man loosing his mind, along with his daughter and his bank account, I recommend the "Father of the Bride" movies.

One daughter getting married is fun even though it will put a slight crimp in the parent's plans for a second honeymoon. Two daughter's getting married at the same time puts a definite dent in their plans but all 3 blows it all out of the water but these parents take the chaos in stride and fun is had by all.

Really enjoyed this movie a lot. Not just the humor but the way it was put together. With John leading you a long for the ride.

I have seen this movie so many times and always get a fresh laugh and total enjoyment. This is a great movie to have around when the whole family comes home.

Yes this is a "chick flick", but being the father of three girls, the youngest of whom will be getting married soon, I could relate to this film big time. I like John Larroquette anyways, and the movie has some very hilarious moments, plus some sentimental ones. I think the movie is good enough to watch again.

Lame but cute. Saw it on the Hallmark channel. Its entertaining and kinda romantic. Very cute. This movie took most of its ideas from Father of The Bride by Steve Martin but tried to change it up somewhat.

This is a very funny movie about setting up weddings. If anyone has ever been trying to put together one wedding, you can understand the issues John Laroquette faces. The fact that he has to organize 3 at the same time is just a great comedic gem. It is still touching since it is a Hallmark movie, but it is worth watching again and again.
