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.

Rated: 1.5/4

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.

Rated: 2.5/4

Slant Magazine

The narrative impetus of the film is stupidity, as Laurent Firode's romantic comedy only manages to progress from plot point A to B thanks to the witlessness of its unbelievably naive protagonists.

Rated: 1/4

Even with the utterly gorgeous Cooke, this film stinks.

It's hard to imagine how even Billy Wilder could have made this premise palatable.

A run-of-the mill farce with an undeniably sexist undertone.
