Movie Reviews of The Wedding DressMovie Review: Magic Dress Summary: 5 Stars
This is not a guy movie, unless you are a sensitive guy. Take some advice, guys you want to be that sensitive guy that cries when watching a film like this. The sensitive guy gets the girl. The bad guy loses, the bad girl loses and everything ends up roses for those who are "really in love".
"The Wedding dress" is one of those 'happy' tears films that comes along once in a while and makes a lasting impression. It is a sad film, a happy film and most of all a wonderfully written film that takes the road less travelled by and in this film that makes all the difference.
The wedding dress was sewn by a woman in love, so much in love, that when her soldier beau was killed at war, she never got to wear her dress. The dress was willed to two people who are in love as she was before the event that destroyed her own wedding. The wedding dress takes on a character of it's own causing bumps and bruises as well as lasting relationships along the way. This is a well crafted film that is well acted and beautifully filmed. Included are a few stars like Tyne Daly who you may remember from the TV show "Cagney and Lacey". Neil Patrick Harris and Margaret Colin. The film does not boast a blockbuster cast but the ensemble work and the chemistry between characters is top notch. I don't want to give away too much story line but this is a well woven film that had me booing the bad guys and routing for the underdogs. I enjoyed following the story although there were times I wondered where the story was going. Eventually all is revealed and I was left with an uplifting note. No bullets, no special effects, just good acting, good writing, and a wonderful soundtrack. If I said I didn't like The Wedding Dress she would divorce me.... Just kidding. GUYS ...BUY THIS ONE...give it to her for the anniversary... it is inexpensive and well worth watching.....SG
Summary of The Wedding DressA radiant wedding gown is hand stitched with love, in anticipation of Hannah's fiancee's return from war. He is killed and the gown is packed away. Hannah hopes that someday the dress will be worn by someone with a love as deep as her own. Years later, she sends the dress to her nephew Travis (Neil Patrick Harris, TV?s "Doogie Howser"). He is engaged to a beautiful but shallow girl and doesn't realize that his assistant, Zoey (TV?s "Judging Amy"), is his true love. Travis' car is stolen with the wedding dress in it. This starts a chain of events taking the dress from the car thief, to a cab driver, to a struggling couple, to a second-hand shop, and to a dry cleaners where the dress is mistakenly sent to Madeline, a lonely woman, who finds love. The gown, then intended for a costume company, mistakenly gets sent to Joan, another woman who also finds love. Magically, the dress changes the lives of six brides, but the one couple that can truly fulfill Hannah's wish! for her gown is still apart. Will the chain of events come full circle and reaffirm what a small world it can be when it comes to love? Drama. 90 Minutes.
