Review of Runaway Bride (1999) by Matt M — 15 Dec 2013

Richard Gere and Julia Roberts return to the big screen together after their previous collaboration in Pretty Woman, much to the delight of the chick flick aficionados. But the novelty of the on-screen meeting between the two stars is where the appeal of this film ends.

Runaway Bride is a film about a journalist who falls for the woman, with a record for the number of groom-to-be's left at the altar, whom he is writing a piece on. This film lacks any significant vitality and ends up being the predictable and overstretched romantic comedy that most people will probably expect anyways.
