You May Not Kiss The Bride (2011)
Rated PG 13 for language and violence
Starring Dave Annable, Katharine McPhee
The Story:
Bryan (Annable) is a pet photographer who accidentally injures a cat that belongs to the wife of a Croatian crime boss (Ken Davitian). Well, perfect timing because he is having troubles getting his daughter Masha (McPhee) citizenship. So he tells Bryan he must marry her and then divorce her in a year so she can marry Brick (Vinnie Jones), his right hand man. Oh, he also better keep his hands off his daughter as well.
Another gem dug up through Netflix!
I try and sort through the romantic comedies periodically to find something that is suitable for a date night or fun for the whole family.
I offer to let them watch horror films with me, but no takers thus far.
So this was the next one that Netflix said was the most enjoyed by the fans, so I gave it a whirl.
I was not disappointed.
Even better: Neither was anyone else in the house!
Win-win!
Not watching a whole lot of television, I was not too familiar with either of the leads.

| So...We're Married Now... |
No, all of the names (or faces) took all of the smaller roles.
Mena Suvari is Bryan's assistant who becomes obsessed with him once he announces he's not interested in her.
Kathy Bates kills it, too briefly, as Bryan's mother.
Then there's Tia Carrere who doesn't look a day older than when I last saw her in True Lies (1994!). Playing her cousin, Rob Schneider in probably his most subdued comic role ever.

Lots of other familiar faces sprinkled throughout.
It's a cute little movie, and I'm glad we saw it.
Final Grade: B
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: I see this one being added to the library before too long...
