    Dazed and confused

    By Peter Bradshaw
    THE GUARDIAN, LONDON
    Friday, Sep 28, 2007, Page 16

    Jason Biggs and Isla Fisher star in this reasonable romantic comedy about a pair of complete strangers who are romantically wounded from previous relationships. They decide to get married on a crazy whim. There are one or two good gags, and a funny small role for Chris Diamantopoulos playing Fisher's ex-fiance. He is a fantastically uptight, in-the-closet gay man; he is obsessed with how good he is at charades and gets a big laugh with a furious demonstration of how to do The Apple Dumpling Gang. It's not without fun, but there is something very strained and weird about the movie's premise: proposing marriage to a complete stranger as a way of reclaiming romance. Though that's not necessarily an obstacle to a funny film, and Wedding Daze has its moments.
