Daddy's little girls are all grown up but they ve also grown apart. Niki (Brooke Langton, Swingers) is the star of a TV show in LA; Chrissy (writer-director Vanessa Parise) runs a high-poweredcompany on Wall Street; Toni (Monet Mazur, Blow) is a free-spirited singer who brings her girlfriend (Alyssa Milano, Charmed ) home to get attention. Danni (Amanda Detmer, Saving Silverman) is the only one who stayed close to their parents, and now she's about to start a new life with her husband-to-be (Johnathon Schaech, That Thing You Do!). But they're all getting a secondchance as they attempt to make Danni's special day one the whole family will always remember.
Viewer Reviews
First of all, I've read a couple of the other reviews on here, and I'm honestly flabbergasted at what some people are saying. "It's a Big Fat Greek Wedding knockoff"?????? Did you watch the same movie? Kiss the Bride was never supposed to be a comedy-or even is remotely like BFGW, other than they both involve large families.
Ok, on to the actual movie-Kiss the Bride is a poignant drama about four sisters who have grown up to become four very different people and are all thrown back together during one of the sister's wedding. I admit that at times the movie is a little too melodramatic, but coming from a large family myself, I can honestly say that most of the drama is very "real". That's probably why I like it so much-it deals with real issues and doesn't try to make everything all nice and pretty. I admit it has a "happy ending", but that doesn't demean the struggles that the girls all went through to get to that point-It IS possible to have a serious drama with a happy ending!
The leads (four girls) acting is all top-notch; although, at times the fiance's and boyfriends performances came across a little over the top. This is an indie film, and they made due with the best they could find.
I can't say enough though how "real" these characters are. Instead of fitting the stereotypes, they are complex and have equally complex relationships with each other. (Again, referring to the four girls)
In the end, everything just fits together to create an emotionally charged and fulfilling movie. One of my favorites!
