Runaway Bride

ComedyRomance

Directed by Garry Marshall

Having already left three grooms at the altar, Maggie Carpenter is branded "the runaway bride" by jaded New York journalist Ike Graham. But, after his facts are called into question, Ike races to Maggie's hometown to save his reputation and report on her upcoming fourth trip down the aisle – during which he's convinced she'll run again. Though he's there on a muckraking mission, Ike can't help but fall for this… From TMDB

    When homophobes dog piled me in the thousands on twitter over my art, dad comforted me by making me watch Notting Hill, when I went through a breakup, he made me watch Under the Tuscan Sun, when I was feeling flaky over a job- Runaway Bride. This man's answer to everything is a Julia Roberts movie.

    Whats your Pick for the "First Doctor Who Episode to Show Friends"?. Been thinking quite a bit on the Topic of what Doctor Who Episode would be the best one to show to People who have never watched the Series. Previously my personal Pick has always been the 2006 X-Mas Special "The Runaway Bride" for both Showing some good Action, Humour, Doctor Whoisms and even the Darker theme of the 10th Era, all in a Massively Entertaining Package! But I'm really curious, what would you Pick to show your…

    Started watching RUNAWAY BRIDE because it's on Netflix and I've actually never seen it. First of all, this movie is nine hours long and I'm only forty-five minutes into it. Second of all, because of the SIMPSONS bit where Homer goes to see LOVE IS NICE, I keep waiting for Bill Pullman to show up.

    Abandoning a rich groom at the altar is literally the first episode of Friends. It was a big trope in the 90s. Julia Roberts appeared in a movie that made it cool call Runaway Bride. I think ideally she should have figured he’s Spider-Man midway into the film and broken the engagement.

    I always loved the fact that the movie Runaway Bride and Richard Gere’s character were based on a real Sport Illustrated columnist. I feel about Sports Illustrated the way I feel about Deadspin, they did some great journalism that just happened to be about sports and are greatly missed.

    You know how they used to make reunion films of classic rom-com couples like Runaway Bride and You've Got Mail? Imagine they had done that for The Devil Wears Prada? I'd totally watch the shit out of a Streep-Hathaway-Blunt film that isn’t an unnecessary sequel.

    It's funny. I was just talking about this with my mother, who voted for Notting Hill. My personal opinion is that they're all flawed. There is something in every movie that bugs me. But Runaway Bride bugs me the least because I can, sort of, accept her rationale, even though, ugh, catch up, honey!

    Hi Mel. I really enjoyed the movie. I’ve been thinking that quote was maybe from Runaway Bride because I remember her giving a similar speech to Richard Gere toward the end of that movie. But no! I’m glad I finally watched Notting Hill. It’s quite sweet and funny. You’re right, Spike’s a riot.
