Vanessa (Rachael Leigh Cook) is a young woman who is soon to be married, but as her wedding day approaches, she develops something of a wandering eye when it comes to men. Vanessa begins fantasizing about practically every guy she sees, and is driven to distraction by sexual thoughts. Eager to clear her mind, Vanessa stops by a church and confesses her lustful daydreaming to a priest. However, it turns out Vanessa wasn't really talking to a priest, but a carpenter doing repairs at the church. The carpenter quickly becomes infatuated with the attractive young woman with sex on the brain, and he wonders if she might be looking for a way out of her upcoming marriage. However, he also makes the mistake of telling some of his friends about his dilemma, which starts a wave of gossip about Vanessa and her fiancé. My First Wedding also stars Kenny Doughty and Paul Hopkins. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
After languishing unseen for years, Laurent Firode's long-delayed comedy is finally getting its day in the sun. Too bad there's such a heavy shadow hanging over it.
-
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune
With a title like My First Wedding, viewers shouldn't expect anything other than a date movie that relies more on likable characters than originality.
-
Frank Lovece, Film Journal International
It's hard to imagine how even Billy Wilder could have made this premise palatable.
-
Steve Kobak, Kansas City Star
A run-of-the mill farce with an undeniably sexist undertone.
-
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul), St. Paul Pioneer Press
My First Wedding has Rachael Leigh Cook's off-kilter rhythm going for it, and it needs it because everything else about the movie is way too on-kilter.
