The Pleasure of Your Company'

Runtime: 91min 37sec - Written & Directed by: Michael Ian Black

it's the pie man

Plot Outline:
Initially titled, 'The Next Girl I See' then 'The Pleasure of Your Company' & now 'Wedding Daze', it is a comedy that shows us that love has nothing to do with perfection. After losing the woman of his dreams, Anderson (Jason Biggs) is convinced he'll never fall in love again. But at the urging of his best friend, he spontaneously proposes to a dissatisfied waitress named Katie (Isla Fisher) and an innocent dare evolves into the kind of love that both have been looking for all along.

Overall Impressions:
Even before I saw it, first thoughts based on synopsis, a hindi film in the making, expect an almost direct (minus the sex jokes) remake in a year or so & remember where you heard that first.

I'm intrigued as to how this is getting a British release before an American one, makes change but I wonder why?. Anyhoo, with all the two and a half hour flicks out there at the moment this is a nice short flick, with many laughs. It is even has a death in it :)

Subtle references to the principal cast's previous films Scooby-Doo, American Pie and Loser were a nice touch and no hindrance. Also, looking at their filmographies they've both done a film with the word Wedding in it before, maybe that's why they settled with this title in the end?

From the opening to the very end, it's just a funny film, as a bonus, it also fits the bill for a pretty decent chick flick. With the whole, be spontaneous, believe in love & all that jazz attached, but it doesn't get stuck at this level for it's happily throwing logic out of the window to make it a fun ride. Overall I was left surprisingly impressed.

Light hearted & enjoyable. I'd say it's one of the better films showing at the cinema at the moment. You could wait for the DVD, but if you've seen Pirates and Spidey it's not like there's much else on. Go for it.
