Leave your thoughts about Love, Wedding, Marriage.
| Village VoiceNick SchagerAs if written by a robot whose frame of reference wasn't human reality but merely fairy-tale romantic comedies, Love, Wedding, Marriage strips genre tropes down to their scrawny, brittle bones. |
| Entertainment WeeklyAdam MarkovitzThough it doesn't work as entertainment, this numbingly chipper rom-com (directed by Dermot Mulroney) might be of historical value someday as an A-to-Z guide to the genre's most overworked clichés. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfEffort confirms that Mulroney is the type of guy who would walk into a Baskin-Robbins and order a single scoop of vanilla in a cup, passing on a myriad of flavors and possibilities to keep the experience as familiar as possible. |
| VarietyJohn AndersonPerformances range from wooden to hysterical, and it's largely due to Mulroney's inexperience behind the camera. |
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyMoore was a spirited off-screen presence in "Tangled," but her charms as an actress are strained here, and the film only adds more ballast to a résumé already groaning under dead weight such as "Because I Said So" and "License to Wed." |
| The A.V. ClubAlison WillmoreThe "romantic" half of Love, Wedding, Marriage's romantic comedy doesn't work, but that isn't nearly as problematic as the film's profound unfunniness. |
| New York PostLou LumenickExcept for Brolin as an unlikely born-again Jew, nobody fares well under Mulroney's ham-fisted direction. |
| Time OutEric HynesOnly old pros James Brolin and Jane Seymour, as Eva's colorfully squabbling parents, occasionally rouse the film beyond its fate as fodder for a Snuggie-wrapped slumber. |
| The Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthySupplied with uniformly vapid dialogue, the characters come off like a bunch of twits. |
| Common Sense MediaS. Jhoanna RobledoHo-hum romcom covers well-worn material; some iffy stuff. |
