Kiss the Bride

Romantic comedies don't come any blander or more generic than Kiss the Bride, in which three adult sisters join a fourth for her wedding, and the predictably disparate paths they've taken cause mild friction. Niki (Brooke Langton) is an actress, starring in a Baywatch-type boobfest; Chrissy (screenwriter and director Vanessa Parise) is a Wall Street stockbroker, and unhappy in her work; Toni (Monet Mazur) is a musician who wants to be more daring in her personal life; they all look down on virginal, demure Danni (Amanda Detmer), who has stayed close to home. The frolicking around upscale beachside Rhode Island in preparation for Danni's wedding doesn't even rise to the level of soap opera, though it might be prescribed as a cure for insomnia...and if the four sisters barely register as people, that's more than can be said of poor Geoff (Johnathon Schaech), Danni's intended, or any of the assorted pals and hangers-on who trail around after the sisters. This is one wedding invitation for which you'll be sending regrets only. Not recommended. (M. Johanson)
