Vanessa (Rachael Leigh Cook) is a young wom... read more read more...an who is soon to be married, but as her wedding day approaches, she develops something of a wandering eye when it comes to men. Vanessa begins fantasizing about practically every guy she sees, and is driven to distraction by sexual thoughts. Eager to clear her mind, Vanessa stops by a church and confesses her lustful daydreaming to a priest. However, it turns out Vanessa wasn't really talking to a priest, but a carpenter doing repairs at the church. The carpenter quickly becomes infatuated with the attractive young woman with sex on the brain, and he wonders if she might be looking for a way out of her upcoming marriage. However, he also makes the mistake of telling some of his friends about his dilemma, which starts a wave of gossip about Vanessa and her fiancé. My First Wedding also stars Kenny Doughty and Paul Hopkins. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    Here's a movie that is a bit on the hilarious and quirky side of a love-comedy. Two individuals are instantly drawn together, as one makes a confession about a fantasy at a church that utlimately sets off a ring of mistaken identity and crazy mishaps. As he is mistaken for a prie... read morest, Nick is a carpernter making repairs in the church when he meets Vanessa. She is engaged to marry, and is starting to have mixed feelings about love and her fiance when she decides to talk about her anxieties. She decides confession is the best place for it.

    I have watched some bad chick flicks in my time and this honestly has to be one of the worst. There is no way that any part of this is believable, especially their happily ever after at the end of it all.

    Awful! I'm a huge sucker for romantic comedies, but not even I could like this one! For a romantic comedy is wasn't all that romantic. I found the plot ridiculous, contrived, and sooooo predictable! The leading man wasn't charming or likeable, but in fact, sleazy and a bit scary.... read more The story is basically about a guy who pretends to be a priest to get close to a girl he has fallen in lust with, by offering to fallow her around and give her guidance during the two weeks before her wedding so she won't fall victim to "temptation." He basically dose this just so he can get her in bed, but then, after knowing her for like three hours, insists he's in love with her, and then pretty much proceeds to stalk her and do things that would have any normal woman, in reality, running for the police. Two thumbs WAY down!

After languishing unseen for years, Laurent Firode's long-delayed comedy is finally getting its day in the sun. Too bad there's such a heavy shadow hanging over it. Full Review

Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune

With a title like My First Wedding, viewers shouldn't expect anything other than a date movie that relies more on likable characters than originality.

It's hard to imagine how even Billy Wilder could have made this premise palatable. Full Review

A run-of-the mill farce with an undeniably sexist undertone. Full Review

My First Wedding has Rachael Leigh Cook's off-kilter rhythm going for it, and it needs it because everything else about the movie is way too on-kilter. Full Review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine

The narrative impetus of the film is stupidity, as Laurent Firode's romantic comedy only manages to progress from plot point A to B thanks to the witlessness of its unbelievably naive protagonists. Full Review
