"Love, Wedding, Marraige" Trailer: Stop Embarrassing Your Husband, Mandy Moore

You get the feeling that there’s much more to Mandy Moore than both her pop-singing career and her disastrous movie career has suggested so far. Why, otherwise, would TK have a lady-crush on her? And why would Ryan Adams — one of the best singer/songwriters around — marry a pop princess? Other than the fact that they make a great singing duo?

I got nothing against Moore myself. She doesn’t make good movies, and she’s not even a particularly good actress. But she’s likable. And sweet. And I’d like her to do well. I just wish she’d stop making these bland, homogeneous script-software written joyless romantic comedies (although, she’s definitely worth catching in the mostly unseen, completely forgotten Billy Crudup indie romance, Dedication). Love, Wedding, Marriage looks to be the latest embarrassment to her career, and it’s not doing any favors to her image. And, damnit, you have to protect the image of your spouse. That’s why I stopped using so many erection metaphors when my own began practicing law in front of local judges. Also, because I ran out.

Here’s the trailer for Love, Wedding, Marriage.

That doesn't look AWFUL. It's looks fine. Mandy Moore was awesome in 'A Walk To Remember.' She wanted to be in two places at once, so Shane West took her to the state line and she stood on both sides of the line. Oh and then he named a comet after her. Uggh, gets me everytime.

How are Moore and Jessica Szhor sisters??? Was she adopted, hopefully that gets addressed, because different races is different than a Kardashian situation.

It's unbelievable how truly horrid that was. I felt my IQ lower about 15 points as I saw that. But then my happy libido juices started percolating in my ovaries whenever that shirtless white boy was onscreen. Nix the dialogue, soundtrack, and everyone else, gimme shirtless white boy.

She did a good job in Tangled. Just throwing that out there.

She's not actually going to accept her parents as patients, is she? That's totally unethical. I mean, how could she possibly maintain any objectivity?

Bah. Stupid movie wasting my time.

Kellan Lutz has obviously been hitting the Sun-In hard, his hair is distractingly orange.

This looks like an SNL parody.

Helen Klutz? What?

Excuse me, but "Saved!" is a fantastic film and Mandy Moore was great in it. Along with Mean Girls and Easy A, it is one of the best teen films of the current Millenium. Tangled wasn't half bad either I might add.

Goddamnit, Mandy.

Um... I think Ryan Adams should be more worried about embarrassing Mandy. That guy is a tool.

I think she's great (no matter what crappy career and life choices she makes). This doesn't look so good, but I'm with you on Dedication. Love that movie.

Aw, is that asshole still alive?

Posted by: Jay at April 13, 2011 12:35 PM

I hate to be that girl, but "marraige"?

Posted by: Austin at April 13, 2011 12:38 PM

Thank you returnofthesmith, for pointing out that Saved is an excellent film and that Mandy Moore is great in it.

MelBivDevoe - I don't think she actually was taking on her parents as patients, since, as you pointed out, that would be totally unethical. But I do think that, as their daughter, she will try to get them back together.

And as for this movie, this is where I admit for the gillionth time that I am a sucker for Rom-Coms, and therefore don't think this looks terrible. I could be totally wrong, however. Oh, and that soundtrack sucks.

PS Dustin, when you say that TK has a lady-crush on Mandy Moore, rather than, you know, just a crush, it sounds like TK is also a lady. And that's hilarious, because he most certainly is not.

Hm honestly this looks like a grown up version of her character in How to Deal. Don't even get me started on how they butchered that shrine of YA fiction by Sarah Dessen.

Dislike Adams, and I quite enjoy Moore's music.

Can't be any worse than Rachel Getting Married.

A marriage counselor who is disappointed that marriage isn't a fairy tale? Really?

You should have posted this one on April 1st.

Posted by: PaddyDog at April 13, 2011 1:53 PM

@grace b
They really did butcher Dessen. They combined 2-3 books together into "How To Deal."

Also, what colour is Ryan Adams' hair. It looks awful and can't be real.

Is it bad of me that at the beginning of the trailer I thought "Oh man, I forgot, which of the Hemsworths is this guy again "? It is, right? I blame old age.

Posted by: Irina at April 13, 2011 2:38 PM

That was a Hemsworth?

Man I really have to study up on forgettable, interchangeable douchy actors...

Posted by: Wembley at April 13, 2011 4:27 PM

"Marraige"? Have you got a Huffington Post proofreader moonlighting for you?

Posted by: OopsAndDoubleOops at April 13, 2011 4:33 PM

Wow, I actually watched that whole trailer because I was wondering why the guy from Little Britain was in the pic. Kinda wish I hadn't.

Posted by: JohnnyBee at April 13, 2011 4:45 PM

totally agree that saved was a great film and moore was very good in it. this looks like poo.

Posted by: splinter at April 13, 2011 5:20 PM

Het life is perfect, then it isn't! She's got wacky misadventures! A sassy little sister! A husband with a first wife, which was essentially a Vegas fling! Look unless a bear breaks into the house and eats them both in the first 15 minutes, and rest of the movie follows the bear around until it shits them out, I'm not watching this. Because if I have to watch a big steaming pile it at least ought to involve these jackasses getting eaten.

Grace, that is the very definition of "damning with faint praise".

Posted by: Uriah Creep at April 13, 2011 9:14 PM

You spelled marriage wrong, idiot.

Posted by: Matt at April 13, 2011 10:50 PM

Dedication is really good, great soundtrack too.

There's something about that Lutz guy's face that is really . . . off. He looks like a mannequin. A mannequin that keeps body parts in the refrigerator.

Totally piling on, but:

Saved and Tangled are two fantastic movies. Mandy Moore has worked hard to NOT be a pop princess. She's distinguished herself from her contemporaries by not being batshit insane and by cultivating talents other than singing corporate-composed songs with slutty choreography.
