JS Online: Charming 'Runaway Bride' is packaged like a runaway hit   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19) "Runaway Bride" is a blender drink of a film: Gere and Roberts give it kick; Marshall, not a very subtle director, stirs it to a froth; and the quirky supporting cast - Paul Dooley, Joan Cusack and Laurie Metcalfe - are like those little umbrellas that poke you in the eye. Roberts is a bride in tennis shoes, the better to run away from the men she leaves at the altar. But Roberts, haughty in "Notting Hill," is defensive here and it is an interesting departure as her charm is shown to be the protective coloration of someone with a need to please and a fear of commitment. www.jsonline.com /enter/movies/reviews/jul99/m.bride30072999.asp?format=print   (564 words)

Runaway Bride ‘Runaway Bride’ also stars Richard Gere, making the film a reunion of the winning team behind the success of ‘Pretty Woman,’ which was the top-grossing film in American in 1990. ‘Runaway Bride’ is one of those movies that you can safely describe as a whole lot of nothing, a big ball of fluff, even a "chick flick," if that term didn’t frustrate me with its simplicity and generalization. ‘Runaway Bride’ does, I must admit, develop its characters with a respectable level of skill (Marshall has chalked up considerable experience since he began working in Hollywood in the 60’s), but the screenplay, written by three different people, is exhausting, when it probably should have been uplifting. www.infilm.com.au /reviews/runawayb.htm   (326 words)

Runaway bride has some men hopping mad | ajc.com The fiancé, John Mason, once a suspect who had to take a lie-detector test to prove he hadn't chucked her into the Chattahoochee River, said he was "happy" she was alive and pledged to marry her still. He believes the case of the runaway bride is yet another example of how the cards are stacked against men. Already, some TV psychologists were laying that groundwork, speculating about everything from eating disorders to the pressures and stress that all brides feel before a wedding, much less an obscenely large affair with 600 guests, 14 bridesmaids and 14 groomsmen. www.ajc.com /search/content/shared/news/nation/stories/05/04_RUNAWAY_ANGER.html   (901 words)

Review: Runaway Bride   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19) Little that transpires during the course of Runaway Bride is credible and, although some suspension of disbelief is necessary for nearly every love story, this film stretches things too far. The saving grace of Runaway Bride is Julia Roberts, whose sparkling smile and shining personality rescue individual scenes - although she can't save the project as a whole. The conversations in Runaway Bride are tedious; the characters speak in cliches and rarely have much to say that's of interest to each other or the audience. movie-reviews.colossus.net /movies/r/runaway_bride.html   (968 words)

BuzzMachine: Runaway (bride) story, still running It so happens that On the Media interviewed CNN head Jonathan Klein on this week's show and hammered him on the runaway bride, asking whether having the bride run away with every show was an example of his vow to get in depth with more stories. But, no, he said that, indeed, the runaway bride was an example of his vow for in-depth coverage. I would like to meet the moron who thought that the coverage of the runaway bride was about right, not too much, not too little, just so I understand exactly what was so damn interesting about this nutjob and her fiancee because this one simply stumps me. www.buzzmachine.com /archives/009615.html   (896 words)

RUNAWAY BRIDE We see definite similarities between Pretty Woman and Runaway Bride, but in the decade between the two movies, the woman ascends to a higher place of challenge and insight. Runaway Bride is high praise for the romantic comedy genre because it succeeds in leaving us with a sentimental sigh of hope for what our love lives might be.

Runaway Bride Runaway Bride reunites Julia Roberts, Richard Gere, and director Gary Marshall for another go at improbable love and box-office success. The titular bride is Maggie Carpenter (Roberts), infamous for bolting at the altar (she wears running shoes under her wedding dresses). The runaway bride's skittishness comes head to head with Ike's relaxed reporterly veneer in Maggie's mythic Maryland home, one of those Eastern seaboard dream towns where every resident is white. www.infoplease.com /ipea/A0779908.html   (255 words)

Runaway Bride That odious exercise in bad faith was a romantic comedy so smarmy it required a shower to wash away its stink. It was the nadir of its genre, a film so cynical and manipulative that Runaway Bride, its virtual sequel, couldn’t be worse if it was directed by Ed Wood himself. Runaway Bride wants so badly to be liked it’s less a movie than a lapdog. www.culturevulture.net /Movies/RunawayBride.htm   (848 words)

SPLICEDwire | "Runaway Bride" review (1999) This chemistry, which was the only thing that made "Pretty Woman" work at all, is even more incandescent in "Runaway Bride," a much more grown-up romantic comedy about a commitment-phobic, farm-town girl who has a habit of never making it through a wedding march. Fired from his job for the piece, he makes for Maggie's rural Maryland town to write an in-depth follow up, with which he hopes to land a gig at GQ, and quickly charms his way into her life by buddying up to her friends, her family and her latest fiance. The fact that these people would embrace this city slicker who belittled their local celebrity before the nation is one of several nagging quibbles in "Runaway Bride" that are overcome by the Roberts-Gere magic. www.splicedonline.com /99reviews/runbride.html   (600 words)

RUNAWAY BRIDE - DVD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19) If Runaway Bride were any slicker, it would've slid off projector spools across America last summer. To Runaway Bride's credit, Ike's adjustment to rural life isn't dwelled upon--if you think about it, everybody knows his name in the big city by reputation, and everybody knows his name in Hale because gossip spreads quickly in these parts. That is about the only surprising plot element in Runaway Bride, a by-rote "Will they or won't they" romantic comedy of good cheer. www.filmfreakcentral.net /dvdreviews/runawaybride.htm   (615 words)

Runaway Bride Runaway Bride didn't do all that well at the box office in Australia because it has nothing new to offer other than a more bloated budget than Pretty Woman. Even my wife, who nagged me to get this DVD because she had missed it at the box office was extremely disappointed, and she has seen Pretty Woman more than almost any person alive on the earth today. Runaway Bride is worth a rental, maybe, with very little new to offer. www.michaeldvd.com.au /Reviews/RunawayBride.asp   (784 words)

RUNAWAY BRIDE (1999): ChildCare Action Project (CAP) Media Analysis Report MAR09799 Staring Richard Gere and Julia Roberts, *Runaway Bride* was a top notch romance comedy with a few stains -- a good example of a movie that can be greatly improved by playing it from video tape through a Curse Free TV filter (http://cursefreetv850.com/).

Review: Runaway Bride (1999) Garry Marshall returns as their director in Runaway Bride, a story that entertains and charms but falls just this side of the status of major romantic comedy.

Though it will not be included in the canon of major American romantic comedies, Runaway Bride is entertaining fare. www.movie-page.com /reviews/r/runaway_bride.htm   (1099 words)
