I Hate This Movie

1st I'll say a couple of things I like about it.
- the instrumental music by Rachel Portman (too good for this film)
- the locations
- the quality of the film used, I mean how it looks, the actors all have a golden hue. I have it on video, I wouldn't spend $20 to get it on DVD, and it just looks really good.

What I hate:
The story itself is preposterous. A girl is going to get married soon and she takes off to look for a name she got off a ouija board 15 years earlier. Of course, Fisher Stevens plants this for 15 years and never tells anyone about it not even her best friend (whom he's married to)?

Marisa is real accepting of a sister-in-law who's about to cheat on her brother. Even if she hated her brother I don't think she'd just sit back and accept this behavior, do you? Some might say she already did cheat on him just by taking off and then running around with this guy.

Dwayne may have been a jerk but didn't he deserve better than to have his fiancee running off to Italy without her telling him?

Some minor things I hated:
I hate Marisa's clothes in this. Hardly anything looks good on her. The red dress is OK (not great) and the outfit she wears when she goes out with the fake Damon.
Know what else bother me? I hate that the film poster and also the DVD and video has a scene that doesn't appear at all in the film-Marisa in that wedding dress in a fountain with Robert Downey watching her. They also have a picture of her in the same stupid dress riding a bicycle with Downey. None of those pictures are remotely in the film.
And I hate that line Marisa says to Bonnie Hunt when she says her husband's cheating on her "I know he would fight tigers for you". Yuck.

Anyhow, I could go on and on. If I wasn't a Marisa fan I wouldn't have even watched this.
