It’s a race to the altar when a steamy romance novelist with a long line of torrid romances – and ex-husbands – sets out to help a single woman ditch her bridesmaid dresses once and for all.

Reviews
Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Pluskylang Great Film overall
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
edwagreen Rather banal fanfare with Delta Burke starring as a successful writer, an expert on marriage who writes about it, despite the fact that she has gone down the aisle six times previously with no success.She meets up with two young ladies who are invited to see each of their classmates wed as they cross their names off their classmates list of singles. They wonder when there time will come. Burke employs one of them to edit her memoirs and in the process gives some of her advice. Why they would listen to this is certainly beyond me given her track record.When I think of the story I think of anthropologist Margaret Mead, an expert in marriage, but married 5 times.Naturally, true love has been right under Burke's nose, but she has become too full of herself. The girls find beaus and we've had our full as well.
littlemissturner This is the perfect chick flick. I simply loved it. Superb casting, writing, directing, editing.. great enough to be shown in theaters, I say. This is way better than the countless romantic comedies (with big name movie stars) released in theaters worldwide. If you're itching to see a chick-flick but have no idea which to pick, choose Bridal Fever. You'll have a great time and get some love lessons along the way. I gave it a 9 instead of a 10 because I don't know what happened to Gwen's clothes at the end. And her hair. And that abrupt cut between the PR girl and Gwen and Dahlia in the car. I hope you don't consider those as spoilers, they're not meant to be as such. Hair/costume and editing's great over-all, just those two little snags. Nothing to worry about. :-)
Amy Adler Gwen (Andrea Roth) is an assistant editor for a publishing company in a beautiful Southern city. As she stands on the steps of a church, watching still another former classmate tie the knot, she is wistful. Now, there are only three unattached ladies from her graduating class, including herself and her best friend, a florist. Why has the search for her perfect man seen so many road hazards? However, her mind quickly turns to work, for a famous romance author, Dahlia Marchand (Delta Burke) has picked Gwen to edit her soon-to-be-sensational memoirs, as the writer has been married SIX times. Little does Gwen realize that Dahlia wants someone less experienced so that she can, perhaps, get away with a curtailed version of her true story. Ms. Marchand may also prove useful to Gwen in the romance arena, for she introduces her editor to a handsome, successful lawyer, Mark. Mark does seem as interested in solidifying a "white picket fence" future as Gwen does. But, could a chance encounter with an equally attractive bookstore manager, Jake, succeed in confusing her heart? Likewise, Gwen is no dummy and realizes Dahlia is trying to "re-write" her own biography by not revealing the truth about her humble beginnings. Can Gwen convince Dahlia to tell the whole story without incurring the author's wrath? This is a sweet film, with a beautiful setting and fine acting. Burke, looking slim and lovely, is quite wonderful as the famous author while Roth, a stunning blonde, is also very nice as the lovelorn editor. None of the other cast members are well known but are more than adequate as well. The town in which the film was shot is gorgeous, a definite treat for the eyes, and the costumes, too, are very well-chosen. As for the direction, it moves the story along nicely while the script has some catchy lines. In summary, you will want to "catch" this fever, all you romantic comedy fans. Unlike true fevers, this one is guaranteed to make you feel great.
lemoviecritic A fluffy, frothy romantic comedy with Delta Burke as Dahlia Marchand, celebrated romance novelist. The fact she has been married six times only goes to prove that she can 'close the deal'.Gwen Green and her best girlfriend are desperate to join their prior female classmates and girlfriends as married women. They are tired of being trotted out and displayed in the picture of unwed single women taken at each wedding. When Gwen, copy editor, is given a chance to be assistant editor of Dahlia Marchand's memoirs by the publicist she strives to really get to know the woman. Keeping Dahlia on schedule is no small feat. Dahia is an open book on her marriages and romances, but Gwen discovers Dahlia may be keeping some mysterious secrets she wants to keep out of her memoirs.Dahia takes both Gwen and her best girlfriend under her wing to teach both how to get the proposal, the ring and to the altar. Gwen finds herself attracted to a man similar to her past relationships and a guy who lets her know upfront he is ready for marriage to the right woman.A likable cast and some nice life lessons make enjoyable for women and couples who like a sweet romantic tale. Relax and watch over popcorn or over wine.
