Runaway Bride
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.

This man's answer to everything is a Julia Roberts movie.

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!

positive · AI labelView post →My sis put on Runaway Bride, a highly unrealistic movie that assumes a woman wants to run away from a relationship with Christopher Meloni.
negative · AI labelView post →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.

positive · AI labelView post →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 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.
neutral · AI labelView post →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.

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!

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.

neutral · AI labelView post →I hope this isn't off-topic, but I figured since "Runaway Bride" was mentioned that I'd ask a question. Why would a movie studio think it's a good idea to produce an animated movie about the Trump regime? I don't know much about it, but the name scares the heck of me. If I'm wrong, I apologize
