Editorial Review:

Best known as a comedian, Stella’s Michael Ian Black makes his directorial debut with Wedding Daze. In the prologue, Anderson (Jason Biggs) dresses up as Cupid and proposes to his perfect girlfriend, who promptly keels over. A year later, he's still in mourning. Meanwhile, Katie (Isla Fisher) is also seeing a seemingly flawless fellow, and though her mother (Joanna Gleason) pressures her to accept his proposal, Katie has her doubts. The next day, she meets the unemployed Anderson at the diner where she works. On a dare, he asks her to marry him. Not only does she accept--she moves in with him. They make for an odd couple, but not as odd as their parents: Katie's stepfather (Matt Malloy) is a Jewish inventor, while her birth father (Joe Pantoliano) is a Buddhist convict; Anderson's parents (Margo Martindale and Edward Herrmann), on the other hand, are very happily married (suggestive words send them into a sexual frenzy). Clearly, Anderson and Katie's differing backgrounds create a momentary stumbling block, but their breakup lasts as long as their courtship--blink and you'll miss it. Denied a US theatrical release, Wedding Daze is a rough-around-the-edges, if sweet-natured romp. At the very least, it's superior to other wedding-orientated comedies of the time, like the crass License to Wed. There are a few unnecessary gross-out gags, but an appealing cast--including Rob Corddry as a good-natured deputy--distract from the more awkward moments. --Kathleen C. Fennessy, Amazon.com

• Would you marry a stranger?
  Jason Biggs is back as the unlucky in love, and life, character we all know and love him for.
  Whilst similar to the likes of American Pie and Wedding Crashers it does have it's own unique quirks and I found myself glued to the screen.
  The fact that these two strangers decide to get married as soon as they meet makes this one hell of a roller coaster ride. Not short of a few hick ups (in true Biggs style) the couple embark not only on getting married but actually getting to know each other. All... more info

• Wedding Daze
  'Wedding Daze' is an easy going, light hearted comedy starring Jason Biggs and Isla Fisher. The idea isn't that original but the actors throw themselves into it so wholeheartedly that you don't really notice. There are a few laugh out loud moments and the rest in pretty amusing too. It isn't too long so you shouldn't get bored. Overall this film is inoffensive and fairly amusing, worth a viewing if you've a spare afternoon to kill.

• Cupid's arrow has done been shot!
  I watched this last night not expecting too much from it. I mean I enjoyed the American Pie films with Jason Biggs, but I didn't really enjoy Loser! all that much. This is more like back to the old school stuff.
  It tells the story of Anderson who decides to propose to his girlfriend Vanessa by dressing up as cupid and meeting her at a posh nosh restaurant. He recites a poem he has written for just such an occasion and gets down on one knee to pop the said question. As he, (and all the rest of the... more info

• Awful
  This went from looking like a really good film, to daft in an amusing way to absolutely absurd. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone over about 16!
