Wedding Daze

I think Jason Biggs is a fine comedic actor, and I wish he were given more opportunities to play something other than a slight variant of that pie-fucker guy. This movie does not afford him said opportunity. Not only does "Wedding Daze" have Biggs once again slipping into his "American Pie" shoes, it also appears to have Isla Fisher playing her "Wedding Crashers" role. And I mean identically playing her previous role. Same crazy laugh and everything. In fact, I had to look the movie up on IMDB after seeing the trailer just to confirm that it's not a "Wedding Crashers" sequel.

Biggs plays a guy who proposes to his girlfriend. She is overcome by the gesture and dies of a heart attack. For some reason or another, he proposes to a random waitress at a diner, and she unexpectedly says "yes" and is super excited (providing the only part of the trailer that made me laugh- "I'm getting married! To this guy!"). Then the two try to be a real couple. Hijinks ensue. The movie doesn't look good or bad. It's just another one of those zany romantic comedies that we all see 20 or so times each week.

Poor Biggs.
