This was probably one of the worst movies I've ever half-sat through. Honestly, the story was completely stupid, from beginning to end. The script was woeful and the acting was just piss poor. You could predict everything ahead of time, and it was all completely pointless from beginning to end. The dialog was another laughable aspect of the movie, they hired real writers for this?
Overall just awful film, plain awful. The idea was really stupid to begin with.
This movie was beyond dreadful. I couldn't even watch the whole thing. So much cheese and predictability. The music also added to the pain.
People in this movie weren't even acting. They were just telling...thats how I can explain it. I felt like I was being lectured. Really, I could give a crap less about marriage and who dates who and whatnot..however, THe main character would not shut the hell up about dating so much to a point that I wanted all the characters around her to get married and have wonderful lives while she stays in her apartment and lives there alone with a few cats and a goldfish and dies miserably in her old age. (of course that doesnt happen unfortunately).
This is almost as bad as that one lifetime movie where a mother freaks out about her 16 YEAR OLD SON watching porn. Apparently doing that is worse than stealing or doing drugs. Whatever lifetime...you're so detached from reality...
Perhaps your strong negative reaction to I Me Wed was actually the result of your "half-sitting," which doesn't sound at all comfortable.
I full-sat through it. On a couch. And I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.
Personally, I found the dialogue to be really sharp and completely quotable. And I don't think any of it contained comma splices...
For a Lifetime movie it exceeded expectations. I'd recommend it in a heartbeat.
In closing, Erica Durance is boss. Invest in better furniture.
The whole premise was stupid, since the very definition of the word "marriage" is a ceremony uniting a couple in wedlock. One person is not a couple,so the idea is really confusing,smarmy, or distasteful-take your pick- and nearly everyone in the movie acting like this was just a great plan really turned my stomach.
shareActually, the premise wasn't stupid. It's purpose was to show that as a successful woman, Isabelle should not be made to feel like a failure because society deems that a woman over a certain age must have a husband. It was a political statement - but perhaps you don't trouble yourself with politics, and only focus on vocabulary...
shareWho is this society?Its other women and her friends.Men don't give a a crap about marriage.Get some new friends and family or tell them to stop asking the question. Problem solved.I missed the political decree that you had to get married.
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful.
How do you know if it was completely stupid from beginning to end if only half sat through it.
shareAs I recall, the premise of this movie was based on a real-life incident a few years ago. If done right, it could have been a harmless way to spend 90 minutes.
This rendition, however, was dreck pure and simple. The characters were totally one dimensional and predicable, all out of the guidebook for "cutesy weddings" (if I see one more chick wedding film with a gay best friend I'll barf). My cat MacGuilliduddy could have written a better script; okay, the story is predicable as these things are, and I can live with that, but this was really lame-o. And the pacing was pure aweful. When the "heroine" was on the talk show that outed her to her beau, I thought the actor who played the talk show host was just going to stop talking altogether, she was speaking so slowly.
Painful painful painful.
I hated it as well and I am a lifetime movie fanatic. One of my least favorite movies after having seen damn near every lifetime movie there is.
shareThis truly made me question how stupid people are, and really makes me not want to be a part of a world full of stupid ass ignorant fat lonely people. jesus christ mary and joseph someone stop this awful *beep*

Quotin dis
Yeah I'm watching it now, and it is quite comical. I think all romcoms are predictable, and the only one I've seen that didn't end predictably (but ended realistically) was My Best Friend's Wedding. With that said, the idea that she wants to make this point so bad and will (I can tell) get married anyway is funny.
I'm single, and at the age where all of my friends are getting married, but nothing in me is narcissistic enough to go through a process like this.
And the lead guy, no offense, looked like a poor man's Paul Rudd.
Shawn:Boomboomboomboom..MUFFINS
Dexter S4:The ending SUCKED!!
I didn't think the acting was that good. But who am I to judge?
Also, I think someone mentioned it on here, so please don't be mad if I'm wrong but .... not everyone is interested in marriage. Not all women are. Not all men are. Nobody needs to be pressured if they're not ready.
I personally hate how people DO try to convince you "You're weird for not being married at a certain age, you're weird for not having children, you're weird for not having any interest in romance."
Random note: I don't see how it's possible for someone to marry themselves; I can see how it'd work for a more erotic kind of film, but for a fluff-flick?
I get why she wanted to in order for people to shut up ... but normally if someone said they were going to marry themselves they'd become a world-wide laughing stock.
