Amy Smart, Stuart Townsend, Seth Green

A lovelorn man setting out to find his way in life finds his heart captured by the striking, soon-to-be-bride that he senses is his true soul-mate in this romantic comedy starring Stuart Townsend, Set... read more read more...h Green, and Amy Smart. Soon after causing some ripples in the publishing world with his first novel, emerging writer Olly Pickering (Townsend) wanders wayward and is forced to accept a dead-end position as a lowly assistant. Though it initially appears as if he has entered into a downward spiral from which he isn't likely to emerge anytime soon, Olly finds his luck taking a turn for the better upon meeting the lovely Sarah (Smart) at the engagement party of a close friend. After discovering that Sarah is in fact the fiancée of his philandering friend and the pair have requested that Olly serve as the best man in the upcoming wedding, the dejected writer determines to convince the unsuspecting Sarah that she is about to marry the wrong man. With a little help from his wacky roommate Murray (Green), Olly may be able to put the breaks on the impending nuptials and prove his undying love for Sarah before she makes a mistake she is likely to regret for the rest of her life. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Nice movie, and really funny at times. It took me awhile to get into it, but when I did I found it to be really charming. Seth Green really was a nice added plus

    Good romantic comedy on the British engagement and wedding with two American actors, Amy Smart and Seth Green. Green is hilarious as Stuart Townsend's crazy flatmate. (Disappointed it has no English substitles - damn on 21st Century Pictures!)

    I'd be lying if I said this movie wasn't a little cheesy but I loved it anyway. There are several parts that seem like the predictable story that many romantic movies fall into, but it has quite a few amusing spins that keep it entertaining.

    Let me ruin the movie for you, or not since you have seen this before. The best man in a wedding falls for the bride to be. The husband to be is a cheeting slub. We get the race to the alter scene, the race to the airport scene, the best man writes a letter to the bride that s... read morehe thinks is from her fiance... the list goes on. Some cliches are fine for films like this but this one doesn't have any charm to pull it off and Stuart Townsend is no Hugh Grant.

    "Where do you want the ostrich delivered? Yeah, the friendly ostrich, but you know, they tend not to be so friendly." Original. Heart-warming story of friendship and love with very funny sections.

    • Olly P: Murray, you idiot, it's not my birthday!
    • Murray: We all know that, but Sarah doesn't. All she knows is you're one heck of a popular guy.
    • Olly P: Who are all these people?
    • Sarah: They're the regular people, they're our people. You know, pimps, prostitutes, thieves.
    • Olly P: Would you like to go for a walk?
    • Sarah: Where to?
    • Olly P: I heard the other corner's beautiful this time of the year.
    • Sarah: I wish we could just dump the whole wedding list alltogether; we really don't need anything. I mean, I love the romantic image of the wedding but the reallity is a nightmare. Marriage should be about love and respect, not presents and a good show.
