Many reviewers complain that this movie was silly and not as good as others of the genre.

While I do agree, that Netflix is not exactly guaranteed awesomeness all the time.. what were you expecting? When you open a can of ravioli, are you then sad it didn't taste like a gourmet meal? Check your expectations.

I knew what I was gonna get, when I started watching this movie. It was your standard rom-com, with little to remember it by ten years from now. Just some movie that I once watched. But guess what? It entertained me, while I was watching it. And Brooke Shields was playing a cute character.

So just know, that it is not going to be Love Actually and you'll be fine.

I usually like light rom-com movies but this one was not all that great. The setting were it took place was beautiful but the movie didn't use enough of it. I thought the acting in this was very wooden and some of the dialog was so cringe worthy. Booke Shileds looked really good for her age of being almost 60 but, something about her eyebrows really bugged me. Benjamin Bratt as a 60 year old is still very cute. I know this was suppose to be a comady but I didn't laugh at any of it. I was glad to see Star Trek: Discovery's Wilson Cruz in the movie. I think he is a good actor. The movie was only good for a one time watch and I would never watch it again. It's a type of move for when your bored and don't have anything else to watch.

When you watch a rom com you can nearly expect what's going to happen, this is no different. However the plot is utter ridiculous even by rom com standards. Most of the actors have no chemistry and the production is choppy to say the least. Brooke Shields isnt bad, Rachael Harris (Lucifer) has some good lines, Wilson Cruz (Star Trek Discovery) has some good lines too. Miranda Cosgrove and Sean Teale (the bride and groom in the movie) have zero chemistry. Im not even sure why Chad Michael Murray's character Will was even necessary for this movie. The best part of the whole film is the beautiful scenery. Most of the film is utter cringeworthy stuff. Save yourself 90 mins and watch something else.

I knew it was a predictable movie, but the script and the acting is so bad executed that it becomes impossible to buy the story. There isn't chemistry among the actors. The bride and the groom seems like friends or strangers, and the relationship between Brooke Shields and her romantic interest doesn't work at all.

Everything fells like a bunch of prefabricated scenes glue together with poor edition. In my opinion this is the problem of Netflix, they don't wanna take risks. Just go for familiar faces with terrible scripts and poor acting. It could be a nice return for Brooke Shields, but it was disappointing to me.

After suffering through Anyone but You that was as unfunny as you can get we get another massively unfunny rom com. Brooke is brittle, overbearing, doesn't have any comedic chops and showing she's not a good actress. Was she ever? This was awful beyond belief. It's been years since I've seen a good rom com. Avoid at all costs. It gets one extra star for some of the locations. Made it halfway before I couldn't take anymore. I have to keep writing. If I could just keep one soul from seeing the travesty then I've done my due diligence. FF to the wedding and even that was awful and robotic. Whew made it.

My wife, the Rom Com fan of the family, rates this a seven. I turned the movie on before she could see that Netflix spoils one of the main surprises of the early part of the film in the recap of the movie when you queue it up. They could just say, "but things get complicated when the father of the groom shows up", but instead they give the whole thing away.

It was a pleasant plot turn for my wife because she didn't know it was coming. There's a lesson here that Netflix and Prime and others just don't seem to understand. Plot twists don't work if you tell us about them ahead of time.

We liked the characters, the setting, and it was an easy watch on a Sunday evening.

Very lame script, poor acting, overall boring and underwhelming. It is like a bad hallmark movie. I would give two stars for the location but no, there were too many unfunny jokes. Not recommended.

This movie is nothing special one tipical romantic comedy movie that fallows two couple stories that are connected, but it is mostly focused on second chance trope. It has great cast but some dialogues and scenes feel like they were suddenly cut. A lot of different stories were started then cut out of nowhere and where replaced but new/old ones. Too many stories have been started and wanted to tell but none of them have been told properly. There are some cringe dialogues and because of that you cannot feel the chemistry between the actors. The last scene should be done better and in different way.

I throughly enjoyed this movie. It was light hearted and fun.

Brooke Shields looks amazing and she was great in this role.

I loved that it was family friendly and in an era where there is a lot of violent movies (which I also enjoy). I appreciated a charming and fun rom-com. The scenery was also beautiful. There are not a lot of this type of rom-com in these times and it is nice to be able to sit back and enjoy a fun light-hearted movie. All the charaters was good. There were funy moments and some emotional ones as well. I think anyone that loves rom-coms woukd enjoy this movie and I would recommend it and ignore the negativity.

There's so many movies out there, that are better then this. That's true. But, I watched more movies that are mutch worse.

The most disappointing thing was, the non sparkling moments between the bride and groom.

I know, that Miranda is a very professional actress. So it wasn't really obvious. But, other couples in this movie show us, what's should be between them.

I don't know why they doesn't change the acter for the groom. Sometimes there's no chemistry between people. And here was it clearly to see.

The jokes wasn't always funny and the writing wasn't so good. The movie shouldn't be produced like this.

Sometimes are small things bad for a movie. And when this small mistakes get too much... And no acter is there to overplayed that, then it's going downward. Sadly to say, it could have been better and it's nothing you had to watch.

Please don't waste your time watching this movie. It is really bad not only that the script looks like made by a kindergarten but also because the actors are really really bad. I didn't believe a word or a kiss or a hug that they perform adult that is not chemistry Between any one of them And also, The story itself doesn't make any sense

I think the production wanted to sell the movie with some recognize faces but honestly, it's just not worth it is really bad and it's a religion genetic movie without any effort to see how these actors become so bad I giving them one start because I kind of give them zero here.

Rachael Harris and Wilson Cruz were missed opportunities for a much better movie. Miranda Cosgrove's influencer job needed more backstory and her acting needed some help. I wasn't so much a fan of Teale, I didn't find much charisma from him on screen, and the chemistry with him and Cosgrove was dull. Same with Brooke Shields and Benjamin Bratt.

The plot was a story that's been told before with nothing that sets it apart. The tropical background did all the heavy lifting, and again, Harris and Cruz were the standouts (as they usually are in their projects).

I'm really glad to see Brooke Shields back on screen, but this movie was filler. Her other Netflix film, A Castle for Christmas, was delightful but Mother of the Bride has very little in terms of plot, just a really good tropical locale.

I thought that Hollywood wasn't doing this anymore, Deep Impact, Armageddon, Dante's Peak, Volcano and I could continue...but I'm just going to make myself clear with just a title "Ticket to paradise". For a moment I was wondering if I already saw this movie...and then I realized that no, it wasn't Brooke Shields but Julia Roberts and not Benjamin Brat but George Clooney, I think you got it.

This movies trying to catch the Mamma Mia vibe are going to fail, particularly because there's no Abba involved, or an original idea for what matters.

I still can't figure out if this was a comedy, because I didn't laugh not even once.

And if by the end credits they were going to "break the 4th wall", why not take advantage of having Brooke Shields and make some Blue Lagoon joke?... Maybe that would have made me chuckle.

Yes this movie will not win any Oscars I'll be remembered as a cinema classic in 100 years time however, for a bit of light and easy tongue-in cheek fun what do you want for 90 minutes?... I love the fact that the two main love interests looked their age but pretty good for it lol and weren't plastic surgery nightmares...Easy to follow plot, lovely scenery and a fun soundtrack..... Put your feet up and just enjoy for a bit and then you can forget about it the next day., not all movies have to be Oscar winners to be enjoyable. Sometimes they need to be a bit silly with no guilt. The world is serious enough to not take a chill pill occasionally.

I really like Brooke shields so I was looking forward to watching this. It was nice to see other familiar faces.. The story has been done to death except this was pretty boring ,not much happening. The bride and groom we're not a good match and no chemistry together. I think Benjamin Brett and Brooke shields had better chemistry. It definitely is like a Hallmark movie although I've seen better Hallmark movies.

I guess it's good to pass the time on a rainy Sunday afternoon. If you decide to watch it, just don't expect much. There wasn't really anything funny . The ending is predictable as most of these type movies are. Sadly, I really wouldn't recommend it and as I said they could've done so much more with the movie but Netflix has very few movies on anymore so I figured I'd give it a try.

Im giving 3 stars only because Sean Teale is such an eye candy, otherwise this movie is terrible... just awful! I mean romcoms are supposed to have cliches but this was just awkward to watch. The bride and groom didnt have chemistry and Miranda cannot act. It's funny cause she's been acting for years you'd think she'd already gotten the hang of it but no 😄 And why does everyone in this movie look baked and dried and wrinkled? This was a predictable romcom with such bad acting I could not find anything romantic or funny about it. Dont waste your time. Can netflix please stop making movies like this?

Can everybody just relax and be entertained, please? There is no need for every movie to reinvent the wheel! Was this movie predictable? Yes! Was it fun to watch? YES! I adored seeing Rickie from "My So-Called Life" and every other maybe-not-so-famous-anymore-actor in it. It was like a walk on memory lane and I was entertained the whole movie long, laughed and shed some happy tears because everything that I wished for happened and hence made me happy.

This is what romantic comedies should be like. Entertaining and light and giving me some sort of release and hope that things will be ok and everybody finds what they are looking for.

Had a rough day? Watch this without the critics glasses on and relax! You can be questioning the world again tomorrow. I promise there will be loads happening to exhaust your mind so you need another movie like this to chill.

6.9 stars.

This isn't bad and it's certainly not 4.9 stars bad. Is Netflix lying when they say this was #1 on their movie list this week? It doesn't have too many reviews and the rating is way too low for a #1, so I'm confused.

It's a decent rom com, Bratt and Shields have good chemistry. For two people in their late 50's they look really great. I will do my best to look that youthful when I get there, which isn't far off. Both of them have physiques of ripped 35 year olds, young looking faces, good all around health and tone.

The movie is generic. It's about a destination wedding on a tropical island resort, the whole family is there - not too many members. CMM is a supporting hot younger guy who is trying to get with Shield's character. Bratt's character is trying to get her attention again, to win her affections the way he had her 30 years ago in college. Meanwhile her daughter is marrying his son. There was history between several of the fifty something group - they all went to college together, lots of memories and drama.

Not a bad story, so I'm perplexed at the low ratings. Not great, sure, but entertaining enough.

How can anyone on a movie set make Brooke Shields look unattractive. Bad hair at times and one scene her eyes are so blood shot that I thought who was made her cry. She was never the best actress and this proves she hasn't gotten better with age.

The movie is so bad that I had to finish it.

The one reason to watch is Benjamin Bratt. It has been a while since he has been in something and well in this film we should be thankful his is bare chested in several scenes and his nipples make more of an impact than the entire casts acting. Chad Michael Murrays hair should get an Emmy nod and his physique is in a few words, hot, hot, hot and Wilson Cruz, never a fan and still not has spent many years in the gym and his bod is on full display here.

Makes me think the casting department cast the movie with their looks in mind knowing it would be a resort film.

The whole idea of the movie as an influencer wedding must have been written in a basement by three stoned 20 somethings because it is so lame that I feel bad for the the production crew.

I am sure it is #1 on here cause of the idea it is a comedic rom-com but whoa...

There are 90 minutes we won't ever get back!

At first, I thought this was a reality TV show I had turned on. I was sure I was looking at Caitlin Jenner.

Brooke Shields was never known for having any talent or charisma, just youthful looks. So why is she still in the public consciousness? There are plenty of talented actresses of a certain age we never get to see enough of. Why this? Brooke should go back to kissing and telling on class c talk shows.

She is truly awful on this. She cannot act. She has no sense of comedic timing and zero charisma with her leading man, Benjamin Bratt. She's completely wooden in scenes with her daughter.

I can think of 30 actresses in her age group who could have done better.
