I so would have dumped Mandy Moore

Why did he have to pass a test to marry her but she didn't have to pass a test to marry him? The whole thing was done to please her and her family. What about him? Why didn't she have to say horrible things to HIS family? And what bout that scene? It was ok for her family to beat up on him but NOT ok for him to beat up on them? I would have just walked out of the room.

And I couldn't stand how they were shopping and she left him stuck with 4 children while she went around looking at dishware.

For me, the whole thing would have been over the moment the priest hit me in the face with a fast ball and then performed a fake exorcism with his creepy boy. And btw, priest and boy makes a creepy combination.

I would have said to her "Look, you have to take my feelings into consideration too. If you want to go through premarital counseling, fine. But not with this psycho." And if she said no, then the wedding would be off. Relationships are supposed to be about sharing and compromise. Not one person running all over the other and the other just taking it.

And that little boy needs to go on a diet. I'm not talking about the character in the movie. I'm talking about the actor. He's a bad little actor. He should go back to school and his parents need to stop feeding him cake for breakfast.

I agree with every single word that you wrote.

HEAR HEAR!

I just watched this movie last night with my family and I wanted to slap some sense into her. Could she not see everything he did for her?

AND THE SCENE WITH THE FOUR KIDS INFURIATED ME! She ran off leaving him with four kids, two of which were 'hers.' That was absolutely ridiculous. She made me embarrassed to be a woman, because I'm sure a lot of people somehow got the idea that women do this.

Your comments on the little boy are hilarious btw...

She is a total bitch... I mean "Hello", She just asks him his opinion on everything and the minute he pops his opinion ,She kicks it away indifferently and wants him to agree with that , What a bitch ..

She does not deserve to be married @ all , let alone her "Dream Wedding" , But Ben was just a Jack Ass who would not grow a spine to find a woman who had at least some love and respect for him. And I was so pissed off at her during the church scene where she blames Ben for everything , like he had not put up with her ugly fat ass with all the crap she dragged him through.

Finally to top it all of She just cuts him off when he calls and complains about Why he never speaks to her about anything ,,. HELLO BITCH! That is CUZ U NEVER LET HIM DO THE TALKING , U WERE SO FULL OF URSELF... And the worst part is ur retarded family never or even that Reverend did not point out what a bitch you were all the time and you don't deserve a charming guy like BEN.... and at least he called you , and you did not have the love and care to call him back when you said "I was just thinking about you" when he called , Why could not you have called you good for nothing "Hag"

While you might have dumped her, the whole point of the movie (and I jumped in when the Reverent was punched out) is something that most people don't quite comprehend.

During the "love profession" in the sand, the whole "Sharing and compromise" thing was brought out. That one thirty-second shot is something that most couples wouldn't do even if you paid them.

If the movie was about about compromise, it sure as hell did not show us any. One sided compromise maybe, but most of the movie was Mandy Moore commanding John's character to so things and him taking it like a baby.

In the end it was pointed out her faults as well. She admitted to them when they made up. She realized she needed to trust him more and have them work together instead of her trying to control everything or run to someone else for advice. Robin Williams Character hinted at this after the breakup, as well as her friend and family.

You got it. She was a total control freak who when needing input relied on Carlisle but then when calling off the wedding she accuses Ben of not taking the lead on anything. He should have put his foot down early on and called off the wedding himself unless she changed her ways. He definitely shouldn't have followed her to Jamaica but rather waited for her to come to him. I wouldn't have waited too long for her to come to her sense though and would probably demanded that we wait before getting married to see if she really had changed.
