Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Surprisingly incoherent and boring
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
I watched this film for Rachel Leigh Cook, she is beautiful. I get lost in her eyes. But even the stunning beauty of Rachel Leigh Cook could not distract me enough from the this train wreck of a film. Besides the fact the film lacks any real humor, the root of why its so bad is because the main character Nick (Kenny Doughty) does not deserve to be with Vanessa (Rachel Leigh Cook), for many reasons. There is not one redeemable factor about this guy, and by the end of the film he just looks desperate and pathetic. In the real world Vanessa would have gotten a restraining order against Nick and got married to the good guy. And I stress "good guy" because the man she was suppose to marry is as altruistic as they come. The whole movie we're shown how great Vanessa's soon to be husband is and how much she loves him, and then she leaves him for some guy that pretends to be a priest just so he can hook up with her? Wrong on so many levels. How am I suppose to root for a guy who's selfish, boring, manipulative and morally corrupt? And to top it all off we're not even given a clear explanation why they love each other, mostly I just saw a sIut who couldn't control her sexual urges, and a selfish douche-bag. Come to think of it, maybe they do deserve each other. Avoid this garbage at all costs.
It is deep night as i write this but the movie kept me up. The lead role guy is hilarious. And Leigh Cook, oh my god, she's so beautiful.The plot is not something too original (as you could say from the first comments page) but there are many little scenes that have their own charm. I'm no big specialist in actor play but I was really inspired by the play of the lead role guy. It really touched me to heart as he was making everything possible (lots of crazy things anybody would normally do) to be with the girl. Isn't it about life -- if you REALLY want something you will do crazy things to get it. Watch it with your girl/boyfriend if you want a nice romantic movie -- I'm pretty sure you'll like it.
Gorgeous bride-to-be Vanessa Sinclair, who starts fantasizing about every man she sees, and all of this right before the big wedding, so she seeks refuge in the church confessional. After pouring out her soul to the priest inside, Vanessa asks him to remain by her side to help her stay faithful until the big day. However, the man she believes to be a priest is actually the sexy local carpenter repairing the confessional. Before you can say "mistaken identity," motorcycle-riding ladies man Nick Francis has transformed himself into "Father Nick to seduce the blushing bride. But lust quickly turns into love, and the fake priest must find a way to stop the wedding and reveal his true identity before he loses the woman of his dreams forever. So, what to say? Cute? Romantic? Actually, neither. Its just another sugar-water movie so if You are extremely bored and up for a naive brainwash go for this one, You may actually like it. Otherwise stay as far as possible :)
I did not know this Kenny Doughty character before, but boy he must be a funny actor in his native country...Though first bill is done by my favorite actress, it is Doughty which makes the show here, making a false Irish priest who accidentally takes a confession for a fiancée and then tries to do everything to win her,despite the fact she wants to remain with her future husband.Rachael Leigh Cook makes a good job here, however, I would rather recommend showing her talent on mainstream movies (ex: Into the West, Las Vegas and soon to be released "Nancy Drew") and video game voices rather than direct to video clubs movies that people would see only to spend an afternoon home.For the rest, a movie worth to watch for if you like romantic comedies.However, Montreal is not mentioned in this movie, but just seeing some french Canadian signs, we might imagine the action is passing there.Anyway, worth a look, especially for this fake Priest
