'The Wedding Planner'

For the second week in a row, Jennifer Lopez has topped both the music and movie charts. It is easy to see why her movie, The Wedding Planner, has been ranked No. 1 at the box office — it's fabulous.

Jennifer Lopez plays the role of Mary, the wedding planner. She makes the dreams of brides come true by creating perfect wedding days. However, Mary has not found Mr. Right for herself.

Matthew McConaughey plays the role of pediatrician Steve Edison, who swoops in and saves Mary's life. During this harrowing event, Mary falls in love with him. There is one hitch: he is the groom in her biggest wedding account, one which could assure her a partnership in her firm.

This great date movie is full of laughs for everyone. It is not the typical chick-flick; guys can go to this film and appreciate it as much as their dates.

There are a number of loveable characters, so it's hard to decide who to root for in the end. Alex Rocco plays her loving father who just wants to see her married. Justin Chambers plays the poor immigrant who her father enlists to be her future fiancé.

And then there is Bridgette Wilson, "the perfect girl," who is supposed to marry McConaughey. She plays her all-American-girl-turned-millionaire role well and is able to match wits with Lopez.

If you are looking for a fun date movie, forget Miss Congeniality or What Women Want — The Wedding Planner is definitely the way to go.
