Wedding Daze (2004)
Jack and Audrey Landry are a middle-aged couple who have barely gotten the hang of being a pair of "empty nesters" when their three grown daughters -- Teri, Nora, and Dahlia -- end up tumbling back home again. That's not so hard to take but just as the parents re-adjust their lifestyle to accommodate their offspring, all three of the Landry daughters fall in love. Happiness abounds until the daughters each announce they're getting married. At the same time. And guess who's footing the bill? Now it's a race to see which runs out first -- Jack and Audrey's bank account or their sanity.

You won't be disappointed!
Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Expected more
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
A picture treasuring family values where 3 daughters become engaged at once and their parents face the trials and tribulations of their joint wedding ventures.The 2nd and 3rd daughters fall right into line with their beaus when wedding bells seem to ring for all.John Laroquette is perfect as the father. He tells the story to the audience. Karen Valentine is obviously much older from her days as the idealistic teacher in Room 222. However, whoever did her make-up deserves the worst make-up job performance of the year. Valentine looks worn out and really haggard. This is supposed to be a time of joy for her. While she acts the part, she really looks bad here.The last part of the film really becomes silly with all the problems that can go wrong at a wedding. The wedding cake is destroyed and a rabbi has to substitute for an ailing priest at the ceremony. What the picture has going for it is the strong family value theme. We don't find the usual wedding jitters by the prospective brides and grooms, but simply lots of love and understanding. That's heart-warming by itself.
This film is a lot of fun! Okay, it isn't any 10 star flick, but I just caught it on the Hallmark Channel and have to say that I really liked it! I believe that you really can't make a close-to-home, realistic wedding flick because EVERYONE has a different type of wedding/experience. These girls choose the "traditional" expensive outdoor catered wedding with all the bells and whistles...The film is a bit like Father of the Bride times three (and I'm sure took a beating from critics for that), but the writer manages still to focus on a doting father giving the girls the wedding they deserve and have dreamed of! I really liked how all of the girls had the (unrealistic, yes) spirit of sharing and giving and they DID NOT become self-centered bridezillas come the day of the event.The movie does a great of showing the importance of family especially making a wedding a FAMILY event. I enjoyed this! I would recommend this movie to anyone who wants to see a fun, comedic movie about a wedding. Any girl stressed about being a bride should totally see this movie...and relax a bit!
Its a typical American feel-good movie which is supposed to be a romantic comedy. The comedy is hard to spot and an hour and a half of predictable romances is just too much. There are no real turns in the plot and you already know the end of the movie within the first half hour. The only good thing about the movie is the feel-good part of it. It does make you relax and feel all romantic, although this is often spoiled by a moment of simple humor. If you're looking for a movie to watch when you're really feeling like simple humor and not too much thinking to do, this is it, else don't do it because you won't survive for an hour and a half.
This made for TV film seems to be a remake/update of the classic 70's TV film All My Darling Daughters from 1972 w/Robert Young,Sharon Gless,Judy Strangis et all..Anybody else notice this? I know some producer or scriptwriter saw the original and came up with the idea to do a updated remake,has to be,since they're doing updated remakes left and right these days.Since there was a sequel to the original (All My Darling Daughters Anniversary 1973) wonder if they'll do another (Wedding Daze Again ??) Nice to see Karen Valentine back in action in a TV film,where has this talented actress been hiding..? She did many great TV films during the 70's and 80's (Coffee,Tea Or Me? 1972,Daughters Of Joshua Cabe 1972,Muggable Mary Street Cop 1982 come to mind) Lets hope she decides to do more..
