Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly (Top Critic)

Suffers particularly in inevitable comparison with My Best Friend's Wedding.

Mike Clark USA Today (Top Critic)

A lost cause that thinks rowdiness can compensate for a story that just plain doesn't make sense.

Stephen Hunter Washington Post (Top Critic)

It's as if the tone is at war with the content. Bright and bubbly, it endlessly chronicles bad behavior spun toward the positive.

Jay Carr Boston Globe (Top Critic)

Begins brightly, then wears on too long and too predictably.

Jessica Winter Village Voice (Top Critic)

McConaughey is insufferably smug as always, while the bewilderingly miscast Diva appears bored and impatient.

Eric Harrison Houston Chronicle (Top Critic)

It's made with care, which sets it apart from most recent movies of this ilk.

Steven Rosen Denver Post (Top Critic)

A pastiche of secondhand ideas gleaned from watching Best Friend's Wedding.

There are times when the movie's contrivance is agonizing.

The work of la Lopez, who is as gifted as she is gorgeous, and by McConaughey, a dreamboat when he's at ease, is more than compensatory.

Jonathan Foreman New York Post (Top Critic)

The writing in Wedding Planner ... is simply not up to the task.

Jay Boyar Orlando Sentinel (Top Critic)

If you took My Best Friend's Wedding, showed it to a bunch of kids and then asked them to make the same film, they might come up with something like The Wedding Planner.

Occasionally so inept and embarrassing that it's almost physically painful to sit through.

David Germain Associated Press (Top Critic)

Works oh-so-hard to make everyone in it oh-so-likable that at times the audience is going to feel oh-so-nauseated.

Disappointing would-be romantic comedy.

Not so much a movie than just another tool in the entertainment-world-domination plot concocted by the burgeoning, big-butt-blessed multimedia phenomenon nicknamed J. Lo.

The script recycles every cliche you could possibly imagine (and then some).

The Wedding Planner is a bit of fluff, but fluff can be entertaining taken in light doses.

Its manner is as light as wedding cake frosting and its lead performances are as poised as the bride and groom at the top of the cake.

Betty Jo Tucker ReelTalk Movie Reviews

Although Lopez projects her usual charisma here, McConaughey seems as out of place as Will Rogers playing Rhett Butler.

One of the more confused romantic comedies.

James Sanford Kalamazoo Gazette

when J-Lo tries to be J-Ro (as in Julia Roberts), the results are no-go. Obnoxious and unfunny from start to finish, "Planner" is about as tender and comforting as a fairy tale shouted through a bullhorn.

It's a modestly successful romantic comedy, much like those old-fashioned fluff films of yesterday.

May be one of the most cheerfully unamusing movies in a long time.

Una cinta mas de las que podremos olvidar pronto.

Su complaciente y sentimentaloide final termina por fastidiar una historia que de por si ya tenia problemas.
