We rate J. Lo’s performance in ”The Wedding Planner”

PREMISE Lopez plays an efficient wedding planner who unravels when she falls for a client whose nuptials she is arranging.

LOVE INTEREST Matthew McConaughey, the client whose cold feet Lopez warms

OVERBEARING FATHER FIGURE Alex Rocco, as her old-world papa who’s trying to set her up in an arranged marriage

HER CHARACTER’S ANCESTRY Italian

MEMORABLE MOMENT During a visit to a sculpture garden, Lopez and McConaughey accidentally Bobbitt-ize a statue and try to repair it with Krazy Glue, leading to an embarrassing American Pie 2 situation.

WHAT EW SAID ”Lopez’s vibe is that of someone afraid to get mussed” in this ”perfunctory catered affair.”

J. LO’S GRADE C+
