You May Not Kiss the Bride (2011)

Missed Opportunity to Make a classic

[5/10 · 27 July 2012]

I am a fan of silly comedy action movies, think of true lies as an example and this had the story to be one but alas it ran out of money while filming the last half first leaving the beginning without a budget or script, The introduction was truly awful with a poorly written script and terrible acting, the lead actor was OK but just not powerful enough to carry the scenes and did not have any comedic ability, I was about to turn it off but I wanted to write a review on this one so i persevered. Once the cast arrived in Tahiti and Rob Schneider appeared and the lead woman had some real acting to do the movie came to life and the plot came together. Katharine McPhee is a stunningly beautiful actress and was really believable in her part and she and the supporting cast along with Rob pulled the movie along quite nicely, Vinnie Jones is type cast as a hard nut job wanting to kill everyone but he can only overact these days through gritted teeth. but he was OK. Overall with better scripting and maybe a better lead actor the movie could have provided a base for a true classic but the B movie hall of fame is full of almost classics, if it was ever intended to be a comedy it missed the mark by a mile, but the last 45 minutes had me entertained, Rob Schneider should have been let loose far more in this and he could have carried it along better.
