Made of Honor / Maid in Manhattan / My Best Friend's Wedding / Wedding Planner, the - Set [DVD]

Great set of old movies.Love it

Nice package of older "chick flicks" for a really reasonable price - essentially $3.00 a flick. I've been recovering from an injury and need things to watch while putting in my time on the indoor cycle. My Best Friends Wedding is a RomCom classic - Rupert Everett's breakout, and arguably best, role. I saw it on the opening weekend years ago - nice to have it on DVD.I've only seen Made of Honor in bits-and-pieces on television and thought it not bad - predictable ending, of course, but well paced, clever and funny. A good cast, many of which have gone on to some success in film or on TV. Great chemistry between the leads.I was surprised by Maid in Manhattan: again extremely formulaic, but nice production values and pretty well-paced. Ralph Fiennes is an amazing actor, but fourteen years ago, he really could pull off the leading man roll. I'm not generally a Jennifer Lopez fan, but she hung in there with Fiennes and their chemistry really worked here. Definitely worth the watch.I've seen the Wedding Planner on television and have never liked it much - for me, this was the throw-away of the bunch. But overall, this collection is worth the price of admission.

Great value for the price have viewed all four videos and they’re in excellent condition

I'm a big Woody Allen fan. Other than "What's New Pussycat" I had enjoyed everyone of his movies that I've seen. I'll now add one more to the mediocre list; "Anything Else". Unfortunately, "Anything Else" was the last of the four movies that I watched and it was spoiling my impression of the set. I took time out to reflect on the unique Woody Allen style that is strongly present in the other three movies and reassessed my rating of this set.All four movies are what I would call light entertainment. These are movies that you can relax and enjoy. The humor is good but not overwhelming like is is in "Bananas" or "Love and Death". What appealled to me in the three good movies in this set was the way Woody Allen constructed such oddball plots and twists within those plots. These wacky roads end up leading us to a lot of amusing relationships. These are all romantic comedies the most of which have the leading man (Woody Allen) fall for the leading lady. In some, the relationship is a reunion, in another, it is making opposites attrack. In "Anything Else" it's, well, a sort of agonizing patience.I missed these movies when the originally came out. Part of that is due to the fact that Woody Allen movies usually don't make it to our local theaters. That's too bad because Allen can do more with less than any director I know.

Nice selection of movies on this DVD. I enjoyed watching them all. I'm sure I will watch them again.

The best of Julia Robert’s!
