#180 – The Wedding Planner | Directed by Adam Shankman (with Vanessa Ondi of Best Week Ever Podcast)

2 Cents Critic

Tune in as Vanessa Ondi (Best Week Ever Podcast) jumps back into her guest seat for a discussion on The Wedding Planner, the 2001 rom-com starring Jennifer Lopez as a diligent wedding planner whose latest gig sees her contending with a cheater, a stalker, a statue’s broken schlong, and other sorts of shenanigans. Steve being a douchebag (albeit one who’s relatively more bearable compared to the absolute vat of toxic sludge that Matthew McConaughey plays in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days), a jarring usage of the R-slur in this fluffy rom-com, and the truth of those brown M&Ms comprise a few of the talking points for this episode.

Directed by Adam Shankman, The Wedding Planner stars Jennifer Lopez, Matthew McConaughey, Justin Chambers, Bridgette Wilson-Sampras, Judy Greer, Alex Rocco, Frances Bay, Lou Myers, Joanna Gleason, Charles Kimbrough, Kathy Najimy, Kevin Pollak, Fred Willard, and Bree Turner.
